Instagram has started to roll out a mute feature to its users starting today. While many may feel like the feature has been a long time coming. it’s great to see an alternative to unfollowing.
Detailed in a blog post, Instagram says the new mute feature will be rolling out over the coming weeks and will offer the options to Mute Posts or Mute Posts and story.
Users will still be able to view profiles of friends and family you’ve done so. you can also unmute users at any time. You’ll also still get alerts from muted users who tag you in posts.
There are 2 ways to access the future(When it’s available to you):
- To mute an account, tap the ..menu in the corner of the post. From there, you can choose whether to mute posts or mute posts and stories from an account
- You can also mute posts and stories by pressing and holding on a story in your tray or from a profile.
The new mute feature will be useful with situations(like friends or family you spend time with regularly) but still, want to clean up your feed.
How about you, do you plan on making use of the new mute feature? or do prefer to use the unfollow options? share your thoughts in the comments below!
