How to Send Disappearing Photos and Videos on Instagram

Instagram has a new feature that’s very similar to Snapchat, allowing users to send disappearing photos and videos within their direct messaging interface. Watch this tutorial video to learn how to send disappearing photos and videos on Instagram.

To begin, open Instagram and tap the Direct Message icon in the top right corner. Select an existing conversation, or tap the new chat icon to start one. Then, tap the blue camera icon in the bottom left corner. From there, you can snap a new photo or video using the shutter button at the bottom, or swipe up to upload one from your device’s camera roll. You can add filters, text, and stickers if you like. Once you have the photo or video you want to send ready to go, select View Once to have the image disappear from your conversation after being opened, Allow Replay to let them view it twice, or Keep in Chat to have it not disappear at all. Then tap Send.

Why would anyone wanna send something that just disappears?

[ceylanbarut]

Does this only work for photos taken in the chat? I've tried to do it with photos uploaded from my phone gallery but there is no option to view once etc

How can I adjust the seconds it plays? Mine show for like 5 seconds and I’ve had persons send me a one second play? I want it to play very quick for like one or two seconds only.
