How to Find Vanish Mode on Instagram
You do not have to do anything extra to enable Instagram vanish mode. But you must make sure that the app is up-to-date. If not, go to the Instagram page on Google Play Store or App Store and update if need be. Then open Instagram and go to the chat you want to use Instagram vanish mode on. Once you open the chat, you’ll see a vanish mode prompt at the bottom of the chatbox if you’re opening it for the first time. If you do not see it, all you have to do is swipe up until you see the vanish mode prompt circle. Yes, you might have to swipe-up quite a bit.

Here are other benefits that might come in handy while using the vanish mode. When you’re done and wish to exit vanish mode, swipe-up again or tap on the turn-off vanish mode option at the top of the chat. That’s it!
