Facebook is looking to kill two birds with a single stone. That’s a new chat mode for Messenger and Instagram that doesn’t just copy another popular feature from Snapchat but also advances Facebook’s own plans for the future of instant messaging. That’s the Vanish Mode that’s rolling out to select Messenger users and will soon launch on Instagram as well. As the name suggests, Vanish Mode will allow users to send self-destructing messages to their friends and family, a feature that’s somewhat available on WhatsApp.
