When did Jupiter's rings disappear and why?

Jupiter's rings are still faintly visible. However, its rings are probably not as prominent as Saturn's or Uranus' because of its massive gravitational pull. Because Jupiter's gravity SUCKED in a ring because of it's massive pressure and gravity. I never thought it was true but then on a NASA station, i guess it is true, and also, they discovered that one of Jupiter's moons has one of the largest rings in the Solar System!
