Instagram hits the copy button again with new disappearing Instants photos

Instagram launched Instants, a new disappearing photo-sharing feature for close friends or mutual followers.

Users can send uneditable photos that vanish after viewing or within 24 hours, with screenshot and screen-recording protection.

The images are archived for up to a year, and the feature is available in Instagram’s inbox.

Instagram is also testing Instants as a separate mobile app in select countries, underscoring its push for more casual private sharing.
