You can now hide posts on Instagram instead of unfollowing the accounts with the new “mute” feature

Instagram has now introduced a new feature which allows you to hide posts on Instagram instead of unfollowing the accounts. It is the “mute” feature.

With this feature you can now control the posts you see on Instagram.

When you mute an account, you can still see posts on their profile page and get notified about comments or posts you’re tagged in. The accounts you mute will not be aware that you’ve muted them. You can always unmute an account to get their posts back in your feed.

To mute an account, tap the … menu in the corner of the post. From there, you can choose whether to mute posts, or mute posts and stories from an account. You can also mute posts and stories by pressing and holding on a story in your tray, or from a profile.

Now you can unfollow friends or frenemies without offending them. Ha ha ha ……..
