Instagram launched Instants today, May 13, 2026, a new feature that lets users send disappearing photos that can only be viewed once and expire after 24 hours. Recipients cannot screenshot or record them. The photos are designed for authentic, unedited real-life moments shared with close friends or mutual followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that sounds familiar, it is Snapchat that built an entire platform on this premise. But Instants lives inside Instagram’s existing DM infrastructure, which means it reaches Instagram’s massive existing user base immediately without requiring anyone to download a new app. Here is everything you need to know about how it works, what is actually private, and what the feature means for your relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
