Can someone still see my story if I mute them?

Answered by Michael Wilson

When you choose to mute an Instagram user, it means that you no longer want to see their posts or Stories on your feed. It’s a way to control the content you see and curate your Instagram experience. So, if you mute someone, you won’t be able to see anything they post, whether it’s a regular post or a Story.

Similarly, if someone mutes you, your content will not appear on their feed either. This means that they won’t see your posts or Stories. It’s important to remember that muting someone is a personal choice, and it doesn’t notify the person that they have been muted. So, if you mute someone, they won’t know that you’re no longer seeing their content.

Muting can be useful in various scenarios. For example, if you have a person in your Instagram network who constantly posts content that you find uninteresting or irrelevant, muting them can help declutter your feed. You can also mute someone if you want to take a break from seeing their content without unfollowing them completely.

It’s worth noting that muting is different from blocking or unfollowing someone. When you block someone on Instagram, they won’t be able to see your profile, posts, or Stories. On the other hand, when you unfollow someone, you will still be able to see their content if you visit their profile, but it won’t appear on your main feed.

To mute someone on Instagram, you can go to their profile, tap the three dots (the options menu), and select the “Mute” option. From there, you can choose whether to mute their posts, Stories, or both. You can also unmute them at any time if you decide you want to start seeing their content again.

If you mute someone on Instagram, you won’t see their posts or Stories on your feed. Similarly, if someone mutes you, your content won’t appear on their feed. Muting is a way to control the content you see and create a more personalized Instagram experience.
