There isn’t a huge amount of complexity added in these new features, but the biggest difference here when comparing to Snapchat is that users can now decide whether or not the content you share with others using direct messages can self-destruct after one view, can be replayed or permanently stays in the chat.

 

Above all, Instagram is changing the game by giving people more choice and control over the privacy of the content they share in their conversations.
