If you’ve muted someone and now want to bring their stories and posts back to your News Feed, it’s easy to unmute someone on Instagram. Here’s how to do it on your iPhone or Android phone.
When you mute or unmute a person, Instagram does not notify the user. Later, if you want to deactivate someone again, you can do so easily.
To note: At the time of writing in February 2022, you cannot unmute someone from Instagram’s desktop website.
Reactivate someone’s stories, posts or both on Instagram
To begin the mute process, first launch the Instagram app on your iPhone or Android phone. In the app, find the profile you want to reactivate.
On the profile page, under the user’s name, tap “Next”.
A menu will appear at the bottom of your phone screen. Press “Mute” in this menu.
In the “Mute” menu that opens, to reactivate the user’s messages, deactivate the “Messages” option. To re-enable user stories, turn off the “Stories” option.
You can control both options individually, so you can have one option enabled while the other is disabled.
Instagram will save your changes and you’ll start seeing the selected user’s posts and stories in your News Feed. Enjoy!
