# Ghost Mode & One-Time View

Conversations that leave no trace: messages that clear themselves, and media that opens exactly once.

Not every conversation needs to live forever. mssgs has two privacy tools for that.

## Ghost mode

When ghost mode is on for a DM, **messages disappear after everyone has read them and left the chat**. Come back later and the slate is clean - nothing left behind. Toggle it per conversation from the chat bar: for one message, for this session, or until you turn it off. Both sides can see when it's active.

## One-time view

Sending a photo or video that's meant for one look only?
