Rolling out today to everyone, Instagram Direct will now combine
disappearing ephemeral photo and video messages with traditional permanent text and image messages in the same one - on - one and group threads.

ephemeral, removing the frankly banal forced «
disappearing message» aspect of seemingly every new network.
