How to Unmute Someone on Instagram

How to unmute someone on Instagram

If you’ve muted someone on Instagram, it’s easy to unmute them later on.

Here’s how to unmute someone on Instagram:

  1. Open Instagram on your smartphone or tablet.
  2. Go to your Instagram profile by tapping the profile picture icon (bottom right corner of the screen).
  3. Look to the top right corner of the screen, and tap the three horizontal lines to access your options.
  4. Scroll down and tap “Settings” at the bottom of the screen.
  5. In the “Account” section, tap “Push Notifications.”
  6. Under the “Mute” section, you’ll see a list of accounts that you’ve muted. Tap on the Instagram account that you want to unmute.
  7. You’ll see a screen with the option to “Unmute” the account. Tap “Unmute.”
  8. A pop-up window asks you to confirm that you want to unmute the account. Tap “Unmute” to confirm.

That’s it! You’ve successfully unmuted the Instagram account and will start receiving notifications from that user again.

There are several benefits to muting someone on Instagram:

  1. You can control the number of notifications you receive: If someone is posting a lot of content or interacting with you frequently, you might start to feel overwhelmed with notifications. Muting them can help you control the number of notifications you receive.
  2. You can take a break from seeing someone’s content: If you follow someone on Instagram but you’re not really interested in their content, you might want to mute them, so you don’t see their posts in your feed.
  3. When you need to take a break from social media: If you need to step away from social media for a while but don’t want to unfollow or block anyone, you can mute them instead. This way, you won’t see their posts or receive notifications from them, but you can still interact with muted accounts when you’re ready to return to Instagram.
  4. You can have a break from a disagreement: If you’re having a disagreement or argument with someone on Instagram, muting them can help you take a break from the situation and give you time to cool down.

Muting is Different Than Blocking

It’s worth noting that muting someone on Instagram is different from blocking them. When you mute someone, you’ll still be able to see their posts and interact with them, but you won’t receive notifications when they post or interact with you. Conversely, when you block someone, they will be unable to see your posts or interact with you at all. If you are looking to block someone, you can do so by going to their profile and tapping the 3 dots in the top right corner of the device, then tapping “Block” in the pop-up menu.

Muting is a useful feature if you want to temporarily stop receiving notifications from someone but you don’t want to completely cut them off. For example, you might mute someone’s posts if they’re posting a lot of content that you’re not interested in or if you’re getting too many notifications from them.

It’s easy to forget about muted accounts on Instagram, especially if you’ve muted a lot of accounts. To see a list of the accounts you’ve muted, just follow the steps above and go to the “Mute” section under “Push Notifications.” You’ll see a list of all the accounts, and you can easily unmute someone by following the steps outlined above.

If you want to mute someone again after you’ve unmuted them, just go to their profile and tap the three dots in the top right corner of the device. Then, tap Mute from the pop-up menu and choose how long you want to mute them (1 day, 1 week, or forever).

Muted Stories on your Instagram Story Feed

Muted stories are Instagram stories that you have chosen not to see. When you mute someone’s stories, their stories will not appear in your Instagram story feed, which is the list of stories that appears at the top of the home screen of your Instagram stories.

You can mute someone’s stories by going to their Instagram profile page, tapping the three dots in the top right corner of the screen, and selecting “Mute Stories.” You can unmute someone’s Instagram story at any time by going to the “Mute story” section under “Push Notifications” in your settings and tapping the “Unmute story” button. When you mute stories, it does not count as viewed in Instagram’s “Seen by” list, which shows who has viewed a particular Instagram story. Muting stories are a useful feature if you want to temporarily stop seeing someone’s stories without completely unfollowing the person’s profile.

Summary of How to Unmute Posts

In conclusion, muting someone on Instagram is a simple process that can help you control the notifications you receive in your Instagram feed from certain accounts. To unmute people, just go to your account settings, access the “Mute option” section under “Push Notifications,” and tap the “Unmute” button. Remember, muting someone is different from blocking them, and you can always see a list of the accounts that you’ve muted by following the steps outlined above.

To unmute posts is just as easy as muting them, and it allows you to start receiving notifications from them again and seeing their content in your feed. Muting can be a useful tool if you want to temporarily stop receiving notifications or seeing someone’s content, but it’s important to remember that you can always mute or unmute them whenever you want.
