In this article, I&#8217;ll talk about Vanishing messages, polls in group chats, and more. These changes will make your messaging experience better than ever! Read on to discover how to update your Instagram messenger app! You&#8217;ll also find out how to use the new Lo-fi chat theme and send self-erasing messages.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vanishing_messages\"><\/span>Vanishing messages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Instagram recently released an update that addresses this issue. Now, you can decide when to let a message or a picture disappear once a recipient has viewed it. The app will then notify you when this happens. Sadly, you cannot go back to the old message design. But you can still send messages. Continue reading to learn how to update Instagram messenger messages that disappear. After all, it&#8217;s free!<\/p>\n<p>First, make sure you&#8217;re using the latest messaging version of Instagram. If you don&#8217;t have vanish mode enabled, you need to update your account. This is easy to do, just tap the DM icon at the top-right corner of the screen. A prompt will appear asking you to upgrade. If you&#8217;re on the old version, simply tap the message icon again. The vanish mode will now work. However, it&#8217;s only available for one-on-one chats between users who follow each other on Instagram.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Polls_in_group_chats\"><\/span>Polls in group chats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably already seen the new Instagram features that allow you to create polls within group chats, but did you know that you can also update those polls? In addition to poll stickers, you can also post polls on your Instagram stories! You can send polls to selected users in your group chats, and they will be able to see the results live in the conversation. While polls aren&#8217;t groundbreaking, they can be very useful, particularly if you&#8217;re communicating with a small group of friends or family.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re unsure how to delete your poll in group chats, there are a few easy ways to do it. First, you can delete the poll completely by clicking the three dots option in the extreme right corner of the conversation. This option will be next to the name of the group and its details. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you&#8217;ll be asked to confirm your action. Once you&#8217;ve confirmed, you can delete the poll and move on.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lo-fi_chat_theme\"><\/span>Lo-fi chat theme<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to change up the look of your Instagram messages, you can install the new Lo-fi chat theme for Instagram messenger. This new feature enables you to send and receive messages without being notified by your friends. It also includes a new &#8216;@silent&#8217; feature, which lets you send and receive messages without being notified by your friends. You can also use the new Lo-fi chat theme to make your conversations more personal.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to a new lo-fi chat theme, Instagram also added poll question functionality in group conversations. This feature was previously only available in Messenger. Now, you can ask your friends and colleagues to take polls in your group chats. Currently, these new features are only available in some countries, but you can expect them to roll out globally over time. Until then, Instagram is continuing to make Messenger better for everyone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ability_to_send_polls\"><\/span>Ability to send polls<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can create a poll on Instagram with the help of the new sticker feature. It will show up as a sticker question and you can choose up to two custom poll answers. The poll button will appear over the photo or video message. The buttons are draggable, so you can move them outward or inward. You can also select the size of the poll and its location. You can also share the poll on your story.<\/p>\n<p>To create a poll on Instagram, first create a story. Alternatively, you can use an existing image but choose one that relates to your question. Make sure you leave room for the poll sticker. After creating the story, you can choose the poll sticker. You can then type the question in the text field and edit the response as needed. Once you&#8217;re done, simply place the poll sticker on top of the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Update Instagram Messenger If you&#8217;ve been wanting to make changes to your Instagram Messenger app, there are several ways to do it.
