According to the information from the two videos, we can see that Vanish Mode on Messenger will self-destruct according to the time set when the message is read by the other party, and Vanish Mode on Instagram will report you to take screenshots of the message and even indicate that you are recording the screen.

Unlike Snapchat, it seems that the new Vanish Mode messaging feature of the Instagram app will be more “harsh”. As long as you take a screenshot while texting or even rotate the screen to crop the image, you will be notified of the person who is texting you.

As for Messenger, it is not clear whether this application will be updated with the screen capture notification feature, because there are no videos or test tests yet. But can not rule out the possibility that it will be updated alert like 2 brothers in the house.

In general, this feature will help users better protect privacy, avoid someone taking the message and spreading it out. However, it will also have certain limitations, such as the ability to delete old messages indefinitely that Messenger just updated a while ago.

Besides, users are also arguing about whether when disconnecting from the Internet, this feature will work or it will still notify when connected to the network.

Currently, Facebook has not released any announcements and all are just rumors. It is unclear when Messenger and Instagram will update this feature around the world in general and Vietnam in particular, but it is making the online community … anxious to wait.
