How do you Unvanish on Instagram?

Answered by Jeremy Urbaniak

To unvanish on Instagram, you will need to follow a few simple steps. First, open the chat window that you have enabled the vanish mode for. This could be a direct message or a group chat. Once you have the chat window open, you can proceed to disable the vanish mode.

To turn off the vanish mode, swipe up from the bottom of your screen if you’re using the Instagram app on your mobile device. This action will reveal additional options and settings. Look for the option that says “Turn off vanish mode” and tap on it. This will instantly disable the vanish mode for the chat you are currently in.

Alternatively, if you don’t see the option to turn off vanish mode by swiping up, you can also tap on the “i” icon located at the top right corner of the chat window. This will open the chat settings. From there, you should see the option to disable the vanish mode. Simply tap on it, and the vanish mode will be turned off.

It’s important to note that once you turn off vanish mode, any messages that were sent or received while the mode was enabled will still remain in the chat. The only difference is that they will no longer disappear after being viewed. They will behave like regular messages in the chat.

In my personal experience, I have found the vanish mode on Instagram to be a useful feature for those times when you want to have more private and ephemeral conversations. However, it’s also crucial to know how to disable it when needed, especially if you want to keep a record of the messages exchanged.

To summarize, to unvanish on Instagram, open the chat window with vanish mode enabled, and either swipe up from the bottom of the screen or tap on the “Turn off vanish mode” option at the top of the chat window. Remember that disabling vanish mode will keep the messages in the chat, and they will no longer disappear after being viewed.
