Get the Scoop: How to Unmute Someone on Instagram.
Have you ever muted someone on Instagram and then regretted it later?
Maybe you wanted to take a break from their posts or stories, but now you miss seeing their updates.
Or maybe you muted them by mistake and didn’t realize it until much later.
Whatever the reason, you can easily unmute someone on Instagram and restore their content to your feed.
In this blog post, I will show you how to do that in a few simple steps.
What Does Muting Someone on Instagram Do?
Muting someone on Instagram means that you will no longer see their posts or stories in your feed. However, you will still be following them and they will not know that you have muted them.
You can still view their profile, like and comment on their posts, and watch their stories if you visit their profile page.
Muting someone on Instagram is different from blocking them, which means that you will unfollow them, they will not be able to see your profile or content, and they will not be able to contact you.
Muting someone on Instagram can be useful if you want to reduce the clutter in your feed, avoid seeing content that you don’t like, or take a break from someone without unfollowing them.
However, sometimes you may want to unmute someone on Instagram and see their content again.
For example, you may have muted someone because they were posting too much, but now they have reduced their frequency.
Or you may have muted someone because they were sharing spoilers of a show that you were watching, but now you have finished the show.
Or you may have muted someone because you were annoyed with them, but now you have made up with them.
