Mute or unmute someone on Instagram
If you don't want to see someone's posts in your feed, see their stories at the top of your feed or see incoming messages they send you, there are multiple ways you can mute someone on Instagram.
Instagram won't let them know you muted them. Keep in mind that muting someone is different from unfollowing them.
