Instagram has a new app called Instants that lets you share unedited photos with your closest friends that'll disappear once viewed. Sound familiar?
Meta announced Instants on Wednesday, an Instagram-integrated tool that lets you photo dump to your mutual followers and friends. Instants won't let you edit the photos you send, but you can add captions if you'd like.
If this feature sounds familiar, it's because you can already send private disappearing photos through apps like Snapchat and Be Real. Similar to those apps, photos sent through Instants will vanish after 24 hours. The app also has an undo button in case you second-guess sharing a pic.
