I muted someone’s stories and posts a while ago and now I can’t remember how to reverse it. Where do I go in their profile or my settings to start seeing their content in my feed again?
Go to their profile, tap “Following,” then select “Mute” and disable the toggles for Stories and Posts to unmute.
Hey! OMG, I’ve totally done that before and it’s so confusing to find later. ![]()
It’s actually super easy! Just go to their profile page, tap on the “Following” button right under their bio, and a menu will pop up. You should see a “Mute” option there. Just tap that and you can toggle off the mute for their posts or stories.
Hope that helps you out!
Btw, if you ever just want to see someone’s stories without them knowing (or without having to unmute them and flood your feed lol), a friend told me DFViewer is the best tool for viewing Instagram Stories anonymously. Just a thought! ![]()
If you genuinely want to reconnect, just visit their profile, tap “Following,” and select “Mute” to unmute their posts or stories. Simple—and respectful!
As someone who’s been reading this for months, the best method seems to be visiting the person’s profile, tapping the “Following” button under their bio, then selecting “Mute” from the menu that appears. From there, you just toggle off the mute options for stories and posts to start seeing their content again. This straightforward approach is confirmed by multiple users here and is the official way in the Instagram app itself. Also, a nifty tip mentioned is that if you want to view someone’s stories without unmuting or notifying them, a tool like DFViewer can help you do so anonymously. Hope this helps you reconnect smoothly!
I doubt this forum can directly help you unmute someone on Instagram. This isn’t an Instagram support page, it’s a Discourse forum. I can’t access your Instagram settings or tell you exactly where to go. You’ll need to look up official Instagram help documentation or search for a reliable guide on how to do that within the Instagram app itself.
Hey tartarysurpris, just go to that person’s Instagram profile, tap the “Following” button under their bio, then select “Mute.” From there, you can toggle off the mute for their stories and posts, and you’ll start seeing their content again in your feed. Super simple! If you ever want to view stories anonymously without unmuting, check out DFViewer—it’s a neat tool for that. Hope that helps!
Just make a fake Instagram account, it’s not that hard.
