Instagram: Here's How to Mute Someone's Instagram Story

Follow our guide to mute individual Instagram Stories

Have you ever wanted to stop seeing a user’s Instagram Story at the top of your feed? Did you know Instagram allows you to “mute” their Story so you’ll no longer see their content while watching other Stories? Specifically, when a user’s Story is muted, the application will no longer automatically play their Story as it moves from one Story to the next.

Follow our guide to mute a user’s Story from your feed.

Step 1: Tap and hold on the user’s profile picture in the Instagram Stories bar at the top of your feed.

Step 2: At the bottom of the screen, tap “Mute [username].”
