How to Mute Someone’s Instagram Story
Muting someone’s Instagram Story is one of those simple actions that can dramatically improve your Instagram experience.
You know that feeling when someone’s Instagram Story is constantly the first thing you see day after day about subjects you just don’t care about anymore? I’ve been there, especially when friends go on endless highlight-heavy trips or suddenly post every meal they eat.
It made scrolling through my feed feel repetitive and overwhelming, like their content was taking over the whole experience. Muting their Instagram Story solved that for me. It’s a subtle, private way to give your feed some breathing room without unfollowing them.

Steps to Mute Someone’s Story on Instagram
Step 1: Open the Instagram app, then press and hold the profile picture of the person whose story you want to mute on the Stories row at the top of your feed
Step 2: Following that, click "Mute" at the bottom of the screen
Step 3: Finally, select "Mute stories". Hence, you’ll no longer see the person’s Stories at the top of your Instagram feed

Conclusion
Muting someone’s Story is one of those simple actions that can dramatically improve your Instagram experience. Instead of scrolling past the same Story ring every time, you get cleaner, more meaningful content up top.
And when you’re ready to rewatch their stories again, just unmute and pick up where you left off.
