You can do this either for posts or stories, or both. To unmute an account, go to the profile of the person and tap the Following tab. Under &#8220;Mute,&#8221; turn off the toggle for either Stories or posts. Once unmuted, the person&#8217;s post or story will no longer be visible to other users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmute_a_conversation_to_avoid_a_person\"><\/span>Unmute a conversation to avoid a person<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a friend on Instagram, you may want to mute a conversation to avoid them bothering you. This can be done through the settings menu or by navigating to the chat itself. To mute a conversation on Instagram, tap the three dots in the top right corner and select &#8220;Mute this conversation.&#8221; After doing this, you can read all the messages in the conversation but will not receive notifications for new ones.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a muted conversation on Instagram, you&#8217;ll not receive any notifications. But you can still see the messages in your inbox, and reply to them. You can even mute video chats. While unfollowing is more noticeable, unmuting a conversation is a subtle way to avoid someone. And it doesn&#8217;t have to be hard to do.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmute_a_story_to_avoid_inappropriate_content\"><\/span>Unmute a story to avoid inappropriate content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to protect your kids from inappropriate content posted on Instagram, you can unmute a story by clicking on the mute button. This feature will allow you to see the user&#8217;s story, but it also lets you skip the stories from people you don&#8217;t know. You can unmute a story without knowing the user&#8217;s username. If you don&#8217;t have their username, you can unmute a story by clicking on the gray profile icon.<\/p>\n<p>If you have accidentally muted someone&#8217;s story, you can unmute it later to see what they&#8217;ve posted. Once you&#8217;ve unmuted a story, you can still view photos and comments from other users. To mute an account, click on the arrow icon at the top-right of the story. Once you have selected the mute button, you can turn the toggle on or off.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmute_a_conversation_to_report_inappropriate_content\"><\/span>Unmute a conversation to report inappropriate content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you find inappropriate content on Instagram, you can unmute a conversation and report the post or message. All you have to do is follow a simple process. To report an inappropriate post or message, you need to view the story or image in question. Then, click on the three-dot icon on the right side. Follow the instructions on the screen that appears. If the person you are reporting is someone you don&#8217;t know, you can click the three-dot icon in the top right corner of their profile.<\/p>\n<p>You can also block a user and unmute a conversation on Instagram if you don&#8217;t want to engage with the person. If the conversation continues to be inappropriate, you can always report the account or message. Once the report has been processed, you&#8217;ll get a &#8220;Thank You&#8221; message. If the person you reported does not reply to you, the conversation is muted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmute_a_story_to_report_inappropriate_content\"><\/span>Unmute a story to report inappropriate content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you come across content that you feel is offensive, you can easily unmute that story and report it to Instagram. To do this, open the Instagram app and look for the profile or following icons. Tap on the one you want to unmute. After that, simply fill out a short survey to report the content. Instagram will remove any content related to harassment or bullying. Once you report the content, you can rest assured that the story will be deleted.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not sure who you want to unmute on Instagram, here&#8217;s how. If you&#8217;ve recently seen something that&#8217;s not appropriate, you can unmute that story by clicking the arrow icon on the person&#8217;s profile. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you can click on the toggle to make the person&#8217;s story visible. However, you shouldn&#8217;t mute someone who posts inappropriate content in a public space.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"277\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Xfr-npst1sw\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Unmute Someone Story on Instagram If you have recently muted someone&#8217;s story or posts, you may want to know how to unmute them.
