Dark screen. Message sent. Gone. If that sounds familiar, you’ve seen it. And now you’re thinking—how to turn off vanish mode on Instagram?

It’s easier than it seems. Open your chat. The background looks dim. That’s your hint. Now, swipe up. Just pull your finger up and let go. You’re back. Normal messages. Nothing disappears.

That’s it.

You don’t need settings. No buttons. Just one move.

Sometimes vanish mode starts by mistake. Maybe you swiped too fast. Maybe someone else started it. Either way, you can switch it off the same way.

The person on the other side? They’ll know it changed. Instagram tells them. It’s not private.

People use vanish mode for quick thoughts. Jokes. One-time things. But if you like your chats to stick around, it’s better to turn it off.

Some people love it. Some don’t. What matters is knowing you’re in charge. Want messages to stay? You have to swipe up on your IG, and you’re set.

As you know, this small change can make a big difference. You feel more at ease. Nothing vanishes. Nothing hidden. Just messages, like you’re used to.
