You can also block certain users or accounts from appearing in your stream. In this article, we will go over how to do so. To start, you should have a Twitter account. Once you&#8217;ve created an account, sign in to your account and then click the &#8216;Settings&#8217; menu at the top.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"muting_words\"><\/span>muting words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One way to prevent people from spamming you on Twitter is to mute certain words and phrases. You can mute words and phrases on your Home timeline and your notifications. You can choose to mute items forever or for a specified period of time, for example 24 hours, seven days, or 30 days. Once you&#8217;ve muted words or phrases, you can unmute them again when you&#8217;re ready to read them again.<\/p>\n<p>Another way to mute words and hashtags on Twitter is to edit them. You can change the duration of the mute as well as delete the muted words or hashtags. The mute option is available for both desktop and mobile platforms, and is available on both platforms. When using an Android device, you can select a word to mute from a list of options. For instance, you can mute a tweet or a hashtag from a contact by tapping on its corresponding box. If you wish to unmute a conversation, simply click on the word to edit and click &#8220;confirm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"muting_hashtags\"><\/span>muting hashtags<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re tired of hearing the same words being tweeted over, try muting hashtags on Twitter. The muting feature allows you to block a single word or phrase from being tweeted by anyone you don&#8217;t follow. You can mute hashtags for one day, seven days, or forever. To mute a hashtag, simply type the hashtag in the search bar at the top of your Twitter feed.<\/p>\n<p>When you click the mute button, the word or hashtag will no longer appear in your notifications or search results. This feature is case-insensitive, so you can mute a word even if it contains a hashtag. Once you&#8217;ve mutated a word, you can also choose to allow certain usage of that term. To unmute a word, go to the search bar on Twitter and type in the word or hashtag you want to block. A list will appear.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"muting_certain_users\"><\/span>muting certain users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are not comfortable with an ongoing conversation, you may want to consider muting certain users on Twitter. While not as drastic as unfollowing or blocking someone, it will not affect your timeline. It&#8217;s similar to unfollowing someone on Facebook without unfriending them. To mute someone, simply go to their profile page and click the three-dot menu icon. In the same way, you can unmute the person from your timeline by clicking the speaker icon at the top of the screen.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have decided to mute an account, you can then see a confirmation banner that confirms your action. There is an undo button that lets you undo the action. You can click this option to undo the muting. The &#8220;unmute&#8221; icon resembles a horn, so that you can go back and unmute the user again at any time. Muting someone&#8217;s account is a great way to avoid a lot of annoying interactions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"muting_certain_accounts\"><\/span>muting certain accounts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In 2014, muting certain accounts on Twitter was introduced as a way to limit their visibility. However, muting accounts doesn&#8217;t actually remove them from your feed, because you can follow them just as before. If you want to prevent unwanted notifications, muting is a great way to do it. Although your followers won&#8217;t know that you&#8217;ve muted them, they&#8217;ll still be able to see your tweets and profile page.<\/p>\n<p>The process of blocking or muting certain accounts on Twitter is relatively simple. Firstly, you need to visit the Twitter profile of the person you&#8217;d like to block or report. If you&#8217;re using a mobile device, select the &#8220;mute&#8221; option. After selecting this option, you&#8217;ll see a confirmation banner. To reverse this action, click on the &#8220;undo&#8221; button. Alternatively, you can also click on the &#8220;unmute&#8221; icon shaped like a horn.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"muting_specific_words\"><\/span>muting specific words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re tired of being bothered by people on Twitter, you can muffle words and hashtags. You can even edit the rules so that you can only see certain uses of the terms you&#8217;ve muted. To mute a word, you need to go to the search bar and type the word you&#8217;d like to stop receiving notifications for. Once you&#8217;ve found a word that you&#8217;d like to stop receiving notifications for, click the &#8220;mute&#8221; button in the bottom right hand corner.<\/p>\n<p>After clicking the &#8220;mute&#8221; button, you&#8217;ll have the choice of muting words or phrases, from tweets, notifications, or specific users. You can also select how long the word or hashtag will remain muted. To undo the mute, simply click the red crossed out volume symbol and choose &#8220;Unmute.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"222\" width=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2jvOHTye8BQ\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Block Hashtags on Twitter If you don&#8217;t want to be bothered by a particular tweet or phrase, you can mute it with one of many Twitter tools.
