How to know if a person has already seen my voice messages on Instagram?
Instagram Direct is an extremely effective tool. The audios that can be sent here, as in other messaging platforms, are marked as seen . This action is universally recognized, and in the case of Instagram audio there is no exception. Thanks to this action it is possible to know if someone heard our audio.
If when checking if a person saw our voice message on Instagram you see a small icon of an eye , along with the name of the person and the time of viewing, it means that they have seen it. However, if this icon does not appear, it means that people have not seen it yet, which means that there is time to delete it.
What methods can I use to disappear an audio in an Instagram chat?
Knowing if a person saw a voice message on Instagram and responding to them from the PC or from the mobile application is one thing. However, disappearing an audio that we sent by mistake is different; but below it will be explained exactly what to do in cases like these to effectively disappear an audio.
Cancel sending message
To unsend a voice message, or any message sent in Instagram Direct, the first thing to do is enter the mobile application and log in. Then click on the message icon and locate the chat where the message we want to delete is.
Then you have to open the chat, locate the message and keep it pressed until the option to cancel the delivery appears. Finally, you just have to cancel the sending of the message, and that’s it. And it must be said that this can also be done from a PC, with the difference that there you have to click on the three points next to the message.
Activate the ‘Temporary or Vanish mode’
In this case , the message we have sent will not be deleted . However, by using this function it will be possible to send messages that disappear on their own. To activate the temporary mode, also called ephemeral mode or even ‘Vanish’, you simply have to enter Instagram Direct, search for the chat in question and open it.
Being inside the chat in which we want to activate the ephemeral mode, we will have to slide from the bottom up inside the area where the messages are . Doing so will activate the temporary mode, and you will be able to send messages that disappear. To deactivate this function, you just have to slide from the bottom up again and that’s it.
What are the requirements to get the ‘Vanish’ version on my account?
Although the temporary mode is quite efficient, the truth is that you have to meet certain requirements to be able to use it. Two of them will be explained below and how they affect the operation and even the existence of this mode in the Instagram app.
Latest version and suitable for your country
In order to use the ‘Vanish’ version in our Instagram application, it is necessary to have the application updated to the latest version. However, you also need to be in the correct country… Unfortunately, this feature is not available for all regions , and in the latter circumstances if there is nothing that can be done.
What is shown to the other person in an Instagram chat when I cancel a message?
When you unsend a message on Instagram, be it a voice message or a written message, there is no going back. When performing this action, the silhouette of the deleted message will appear , and within it a message that will say ‘Message deleted’. This silhouette will appear both in the person’s chat and in ours.
