How do I mute or unmute someone on Instagram?
To mute or unmute someone, log into the Instagram app for Android or iPhone or the Instagram Lite app for Android and follow the instructions below.
If you don't want to see someone's posts in your feed, you can mute them:
Mute or unmute an account through their profile
- Go to their profile by tapping
at the bottom.
- Type their name into the search at the top and select their profile when it appears.
- Tap Following below their profile info.
- Tap Mute.
- Tap
next to Posts.
To unmute them, tap 
Mute or unmute an account through Feed
- Tap
(iPhone)
(Android) next to their post.
- Select Mute, then tap Mute Posts.
Instagram won't let them know you muted them. Muting someone's posts is different from unfollowing them and from muting their stories.
