Read on to discover how. Instagram allows you to mute posts and stories, but you can also unmute your own account. Using the&#8217;mute&#8217; feature on Facebook, you can make your profile visible to anyone, but if you want your story to remain private, you can turn it off. The next step is to unfollow the person you&#8217;re unfollowing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmuting_a_users_story\"><\/span>Unmuting a user&#8217;s story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To unmute a user&#8217;s Instagram story, follow this process. Log in to your Instagram account and then scroll through the story feed. If you notice any stories that are grayed out, tap on the icon that indicates the story has been muted. You can also report the story to the Instagram developers, if you find it contains inappropriate content. Unmuting a story is an option that is available to all users.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to view a user&#8217;s stories again, unmuting them is an easy way to do so. To unmute a user&#8217;s story, you need to open their Instagram account. After that, you&#8217;ll need to go to the Settings tab. You&#8217;ll find the Edit Profile option at the top-right corner. Here, you&#8217;ll need to enter the username of the user you want to unmute.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve muted someone&#8217;s story, you can view their other stories by visiting their profile page. If you mute someone&#8217;s Instagram story, you won&#8217;t be able to view it in your story feed, but you can still view it by visiting the user&#8217;s profile page. However, the story won&#8217;t be visible in your stories feed. If you want to view a user&#8217;s stories again, make sure you follow them first.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmuting_a_friends_story\"><\/span>Unmuting a friend&#8217;s story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step to unmuting a friend&#8217;s Instagram story is to open their profile. You&#8217;ll notice a &#8220;muted&#8221; note below the user&#8217;s bio and highlights. Next, tap on the &#8220;unmute&#8221; button to unhide the content. This will remove the muted status from their story. If you don&#8217;t wish to see the story, you can mute it yourself.<\/p>\n<p>To unmute a friend&#8217;s Instagram story, visit their profile and tap on the blue circle next to the story. Then, tap on the &#8220;Mute&#8221; button and toggle it to &#8220;Off&#8221;. This will remove your friend&#8217;s story from your feed. You can now view it again. Hopefully, you will no longer be bothered by their posts and stories. In the future, you can share your stories with friends and family!<\/p>\n<p>In order to unmute a friend&#8217;s Instagram story, you have to log in to the account. To do this, simply enter your username and password. A muted story will appear in grey colour. You can then tap the story to see it in its full glory. This process is quick and easy. Unlike unmuting a friend&#8217;s post, unmuting their story will not affect their profile page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmuting_a_users_post\"><\/span>Unmuting a user&#8217;s post<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve accidentally muted a user&#8217;s story on Instagram, you can view their story again. To do this, visit their profile and click the three lines that indicate their profile. You can also visit the profile of a user by tapping the transparent picture on their profile. Unmuting a user&#8217;s story will allow you to view the story again without disturbing the other user. Here&#8217;s how.<\/p>\n<p>In older versions of Instagram, there&#8217;s no option for unmuting. To unhide the user&#8217;s story, visit their profile and look for the note that says, &#8220;Unmuting account.&#8221; You can click the &#8220;Unmute&#8221; button that appears next to the muted note. This will remove the muted note. Once you&#8217;ve clicked the unmute button, you can see the person&#8217;s profile again.<\/p>\n<p>If the user continues to post stories on their profile, you can unmute them again by going to their profile and clicking on the &#8220;Unmute&#8221; button. Then, they won&#8217;t be notified that you&#8217;ve unmuted them. Then, you can view their Stories without worrying about them appearing in your feed again. In this way, unmuting a user&#8217;s story on Instagram will allow you to view their posts whenever you wish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Unmute an Instagram Story Want to unmute an Instagram story, or just a friend&#8217;s post?
