Facebook-owned Instagram just launched a new feature that allows users to send disappearing photos and videos to their followers and yes, if it sounds oddly familiar, it’s exactly what Snapchat does.

Through the feature, Instagrammers can now send expiring content to individual friends, or groups through a direct message. After the photo or video is viewed, it will disappear. Just like Snapchat, senders will also be able to check whether or not the receiver has sneaked a screenshot, or replayed anything.

This update comes shortly after Stories, which, again, is a similar feature Snapchat offered first.

Additionally, Instagram will be gradually adding an option to livestream video within the app itself for up to an hour. Users will be able to opt to turn off comments, however the app wouldn’t save the live footage post-broadcast.

These new features are now rolling out slowly to Instagram users around the globe. Snapchat or Instagram? You decide..
