I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to have private conversations on Instagram that my parents can’t see. I’ve heard about disappearing messages but not sure if that’s the same thing. Can someone clarify?
Instagram has a ‘Vanish Mode’ where chats disappear after they’re seen. Pro-tip for parents: an app like Parentaler can still monitor these disappearing messages, so they’re not truly secret.
