If you don’t know how to unmute someone on Instagram, and you accidentally muted your loved ones or relatives. I know, it sounds terrifying. But don’t worry, it’s not as simple as you think. This will be an article of steps to help you achieve your goal of unburdening yourself from that last person who won’t stop spamming your feed with their junk.
Before we get into it, I’ll just quickly explain what is “muting” for everyone that doesn’t know. Muting is a new feature on Instagram that allows you to mute people without unfollowing them.
Unfollowing removes their posts from your feed entirely, but muting simply removes the notifications from your phone. Notifications you can turn back on at any time if you change your mind.
I’ll also preface this by saying that if you’re following someone for a particular reason (dirty memes, to support them in some way, etc.) and you want to stop seeing their posts altogether, then I would recommend unfollowing them.
But if you’re just tired of seeing their face pop up in your feed all the time, well, then this might be the article for you.
