The good news is that you can do so by using one of two simple features: the block button and the mute in feed feature. In this article, we&#8217;ll explain how to do both. You can also unmute someone from your feed if you&#8217;d like to keep them from distracting you on your feed. But first, let&#8217;s talk about what it means to mute someone on Instagram.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_block_button\"><\/span>Using the block button<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several reasons why you might want to mute people on Instagram. If someone constantly spams your inbox or sends you annoying direct messages, muting them is a softer approach. It might cause the person to be more aware of your actions, so you might want to consider muting them instead. But you should always remember to be gentle with them! The following tips will help you choose the right approach to muting someone on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>To mute a person&#8217;s posts and stories, simply click their username. After clicking their username, choose&#8217;mute&#8217;. It will not block the user, but will prevent them from seeing your posts and stories. You can toggle the mute option and un-mute it whenever you like. This way, you can mute people on Instagram without having to worry about their activity.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve found a problematic contact, you can mute them. It&#8217;s easy to do, too. First, swipe through all of their accounts in the Stories tab. Next, press the profile picture of the person you&#8217;d like to mute. Next, select&#8217;mute story&#8217; in the menu that appears. After that, repeat the process until the user removes their muted story.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_the_mute_in_feed_feature\"><\/span>Using the mute in feed feature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can mute content on Instagram in a number of ways. First, open the Instagram app and search for the profile of the person you&#8217;d like to mute. Tap the ellipses that appear in the upper right corner next to their username. Next, toggle the slider to the right of their stories or posts. The content that you&#8217;ve muted will no longer be visible to your followers.<\/p>\n<p>The mute feature on Instagram is similar to those that are found on Facebook and Twitter. Users can mute their feeds without affecting their followers. By default, users don&#8217;t receive notifications when someone posts or comments on their posts. Once you&#8217;ve muted a person, you can always unmute them at a later time, so you can avoid annoying them by not responding. The mute feature on Instagram is similar to Facebook&#8217;s unfollow and follow\/unfollow features, so you can unmute your followers whenever you want.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Instagram has also introduced the mute feature for Instagram Stories. This allows users to block certain accounts from appearing in their feeds without unfollowing them. Unlike the old days, muted accounts are not aware of the fact that they&#8217;re being muted, which is a handy feature for users who want to have more control over their feeds. And while this feature is a useful tool for those who want to keep a closer eye on their feeds, it&#8217;s still important to remember that it&#8217;s not a substitute for good content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unmuting_someone_from_your_feed\"><\/span>Unmuting someone from your feed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first thing you need to know about unmuting someone from your feed on Instagram is that you can&#8217;t just click a button and they&#8217;ll immediately stop showing up in your feed. Instead, you will see the person&#8217;s stories on the bottom of your feed. If you want to unmute someone from your feed, you can follow the steps below. These tips can help you find people you&#8217;ve muted, too.<\/p>\n<p>First, you can unmute people&#8217;s stories by going to their profiles. This is similar to unmuting posts, but you&#8217;ll have to find their stories and turn off the toggle next to them. Next, find the person&#8217;s profile image (it will be grayed out). To unmute a story, simply tap on it and choose the option &#8220;Unmute Story.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You can also mute people&#8217;s Instagram stories by going to their profile page. You can click on the three dots at the top right of the post to find this option. Then, tap the button that says &#8220;Hide.&#8221; Note that this won&#8217;t mute the user&#8217;s entire account. Instead, it will only hide a single post from that user. Stories will be visible to other users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Mute People on Instagram You may be wondering how to mute people on Instagram.
