To view disappeared messages on Instagram, follow these steps:
1. Open the Instagram app on your device and navigate to the home screen, also known as the Feed.
2. In the top right corner of the Feed, you will find a chat icon, which looks like a paper airplane. Tap on this icon to access your Instagram Direct messages.
3. Once you are in the Direct messages section, you will see a list of your conversations. Tap on the conversation that you want to view.
4. In the conversation, you can scroll through the messages and see the previous messages exchanged with the other person. However, it’s important to note that you cannot view disappearing photos or videos after you’ve sent them.
5. Despite not being able to view disappearing content, you can still gather some information about them. Instagram provides certain indicators to let you know what happened to the disappearing message. Here are some of the indicators you can look for:
– Delivered: If the message has been successfully delivered to the recipient, you will see a small checkmark next to the message. This indicates that the message reached the other person’s inbox.
– Opened: If the recipient has opened the disappearing message, you will see a small eye icon next to the message. This indicates that the other person has viewed the content.
– Replay: If someone replays your disappearing message, you will see a small looped arrow icon next to the message. This indicates that the recipient has viewed the message multiple times.
– Screenshot: If someone takes a screenshot of your disappearing message, you will see a small camera icon next to the message. This indicates that the other person captured a screenshot of the content.
6. By paying attention to these indicators, you can gather information about the disappearing message even if you can’t view it directly.
It’s worth mentioning that the purpose of disappearing messages on Instagram is to provide a more temporary and private way of communication. Once a message disappears, it cannot be accessed again. This feature is designed to respect the privacy and confidentiality of conversations.
While you can’t view disappearing messages again on Instagram, you can still see if they were delivered, opened, replayed, or if someone took a screenshot. These indicators give you some insight into the fate of the disappearing message.
