You&#8217;re not the only one who&#8217;s questioned the need to do it. Here&#8217;s how to unmute a story from a friend or other user. You can also unmute a video from a friend&#8217;s profile. Follow the steps below to find out how.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmute_a_story_on_Instagram\"><\/span>Unmute a story on Instagram<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve muted an Instagram story, you may be wondering how to unmute it. The truth is that there are a few ways to do so. In older versions of Instagram, you can&#8217;t simply unhide the content by going to the profile and clicking on the mute button. Instead, you&#8217;ll need to go to your profile and locate a note under your user bio or your profile highlights. Tap the &#8220;Unmute&#8221; button next to the note.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve done this, you&#8217;ll be able to unmute stories from any user. In order to unmute a story from another user, open it and go to their profile. Click on the three lines at the top of their profile. Then, select &#8220;Unmute&#8221; and then &#8220;Unfollow&#8221;. If you&#8217;re not sure which to use, you can also click on the sound icon in the system tray and report the story. If the story is spam or contains illicit content, you can also report it to the developer&#8217;s team.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmute_a_video\"><\/span>Unmute a video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You might wonder how to unmute a video on Instagram story. To do so, visit your friend&#8217;s profile and tap the mute button. Or, search for the story and tap the link next to it. Then, you can tap the &#8220;Unmute&#8221; button to make it visible to other users. However, if you don&#8217;t know how to unmute the video, you can find a simple guide here.<\/p>\n<p>First, you&#8217;ll need to click the speaker icon at the bottom right corner of your Instagram story. This will cause sound to play along with the video. If the icon is not there, the video is muted. To play the audio, click the volume button on your device. You can also click the volume icon to adjust the volume. If you&#8217;re experiencing issues with sound, you can follow these steps to fix the problem.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmute_a_friends_story\"><\/span>Unmute a friend&#8217;s story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to unmute a friend&#8217;s story, you&#8217;ll need to sign into your Instagram account first. On the profile page of your friend, look for the icon with a display picture. Tap that icon to unmute the story. Once you&#8217;re done, you can view your friend&#8217;s story without being able to hear it. It can also be used to block certain users or groups.<\/p>\n<p>To unmute a friend&#8217;s story on Instagram, simply log into the app using your username and password. Scroll down the story feed and tap the greyed out profile picture. Once you&#8217;re in the story feed, tap on the story you want to unmute. The story will now appear unmuted, but you must be sure to re-visit your friend&#8217;s story to see it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmute_a_users_story\"><\/span>Unmute a user&#8217;s story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you&#8217;re in a hurry to keep up with your newsfeed, you may accidentally mute a user&#8217;s story. The best way to unmute a user&#8217;s story on Instagram is to navigate to the profile of the person you&#8217;d like to unmute. To do this, open the app or web browser on your device, and swipe left from the homepage. Under the story you want to unmute, you&#8217;ll see a grey ring around it, while the corresponding story is not muted.<\/p>\n<p>To unmute a user&#8217;s story on Instagram, log into your account. Scroll down the stories feed until you see a greyed-out icon. To undo the mute, simply tap the profile picture of the person you want to unmute. If you want to share your story with others, you can unmute them from DMs as well. Once you&#8217;ve unmuted a user&#8217;s story, you can share it with others on social media or embed it on your website.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmute_a_persons_story\"><\/span>Unmute a person&#8217;s story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to hide someone else&#8217;s stories or posts on Instagram, you&#8217;ll need to know how to mute a person&#8217;s story. You can mute someone&#8217;s story by clicking the &#8220;unmute&#8221; button next to their post or story. However, it is important to note that you won&#8217;t receive any notifications when a person mutes your story. Once you&#8217;ve mutated a person&#8217;s story, you&#8217;ll be able to see their posts again in their feed.<\/p>\n<p>To unmute someone&#8217;s story, all you have to do is log in to your Instagram account. Scroll through their story feed and you&#8217;ll notice greyed-out icons. Tap on the icon next to the person&#8217;s profile picture. If you&#8217;ve accidentally muted a person&#8217;s story, you can report it to Instagram&#8217;s developers to delete the content. This is also a good way to delete spam or inappropriate content posted on Instagram.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Unmute a Story on Instagram If you&#8217;ve ever wanted to unmute a story on Instagram, you&#8217;re not alone.
