Threads, Mark Zuckerberg’s pet project that is supposed to be the best Twitter alternative, got off to a roaring start with over 100 million signups in less than a week after launch. Although the hype has since died down, Threads hopes to keep users interested by introducing new features to keep them coming back to the platform.

In our last post, How to Block/Unblock Someone on Threads App, we presented several ways you can block a user from interacting with your Threads profile and posting content. In this blog, we’ll show you how to mute/ unmute someone on Threads.

3 Ways to Mute Someone on Threads

In the Threads app, you can mute someone to stop receiving notifications from that user. This is different from blocking, as blocking the user on Threads also blocks them on Instagram. Also, blocking the user will give them a notice when they try to find your account on Threads. However, muting a user in Threads only temporarily suspends that user’s notifications.

Below are some ways you can mute someone in threads.

Method 1: Mute Someone from Threads Post/ Home Feed

Wrapping Up – Muting and Unmuting Users on Threads

Muting or unmuting someone on Threads is a simple and straightforward task. After you mute a user, you will no longer see post updates from that user and you will no longer be notified when they comment on your post. This is better than blocking or unfollowing if you know the user. Also, muting them on Threads does not mute them on Instagram like blocking does.

With the above methods, you can easily mute or un-mute someone on Threads.
