How to Delete Voicemail on Instagram Before Being Heard – Un-Send

Instagram has become one of the largest and most popular social networks in the world, all thanks to its great features. For example, the ability to send voice messages in chat. However, sometimes it is necessary to delete these audios, and here the requirements to be able to do so will be explained and what steps to follow.

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 audios there is no exception. Thanks to this action you can know if someone heard our audio.

If at the time of verifying if a person saw our voice message on Instagram you see a little icon of an eye, along with the person’s name and viewing time, 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 replying to them from the PC or from the mobile application is one thing. However, disappearing an audio that we send by mistake is different; but below will be explained exactly what should be done in cases like these to effectively fade an audio.

Cancel message sending

To cancel the sending of a voice message, or any message that is 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 is the message that we want to delete.

Then you have to open the chat, locate the message and hold it down until the option to abort the shipment 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 ‘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 to which we want to activate the ephemeral mode, we will have to slide from the bottom up within the area where the messages are located. Doing so will activate the temporary mode, and you can send messages that disappear. To deactivate this function, you just have to swipe from bottom to top 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 performance 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 right country … Unfortunately, this feature not available for all regions, and in these last 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 cancel the sending of a message on Instagram, be it a voice message or a written message, there is no going back. By performing this action, the outline of the deleted message will appear, and inside it a message that will say ‘Message deleted’. This silhouette will appear both in the person’s chat and in ours.
