Users can deactivate the Vanish mode by swiping up from the bottom of the screen or selecting the “turn off vanish mode” button. In case the receiver in the DM has not activated Vanish mode, Instagram will send an alert to the user. It will say “sent in vanish” along with the main message.
You can basically toggle between the two modes in a chat. You can turn it on for a few messages or photos, which will disappear the very moment they have been read/seen. Then you can turn it back again and carry on with your normal chat that does not disappear.
