How to Mute People on Instagram in 3 Different Ways?
Instagram is a great platform for sharing photos and videos with friends, but sometimes you may not want to see all the posts from certain people. Maybe you don’t want to be disturbed by their posts during work, or maybe their posts are just really irrelevant to you. In this article, we will show you how to mute people on Instagram.
Muting someone on Instagram is very easy. All you have to do is open that person’s profile and tap the three dots in the top right corner of the post. Then select “Mute this account”.
When you mute someone on Instagram, they will still be able to see your posts, but they will no longer be able to comment on them or send you direct messages. You can also unmute an account at any time by following the same steps.
Whether it be a colleague, family member, or friend, there is likely someone that you’re reluctantly following on Instagram.
If you’re not a fan of what they post to their feed or in their stories, but don’t want to unfollow them at the risk of hurting their feelings, the app provides you with options to mute their content.
Here are three different ways that you can mute someone on Instagram.
