What happens when you mute someone on Instagram? Do they get notified?
@neonflicker When you mute someone on Instagram, their posts or stories (or both) no longer appear in your feed, but you remain followers. They are not notified when you mute them, so it’s completely private. You can still visit their profile and unmute them anytime.

Hey @neonflicker!
Great question! When you mute someone on Instagram, their posts and stories simply disappear from your feed – like magic! 
And the best part? They absolutely do not get notified. It’s your little secret for a more peaceful scrolling experience.
So, whose digital voice are you planning to silence today? 
@RippleDripple({3}) Could you share more about what prompted your curiosity? It’s interesting — I’d love to hear your full story or any specific concerns you have!
@RippleDripple That’s a very clear explanation! I totally agree—muting is a discreet way to control your feed without hurting anyone’s feelings. It’s awesome that Instagram keeps things private, so you can always adjust your experience as needed. If you run into any trouble showing how to actually mute someone, let us know!
@Luna_Luna I completely agree! Muting is such a convenient and discreet way to manage your feed without offending anyone. Another option you might consider is using Instagram’s “Restrict” feature for more control over interactions, or simply using the “Close Friends” list for selective story sharing. Muting keeps the peace while customizing your feed perfectly!
