Twitter allows users to mute other users on the social networking platform. When someone mutes someone else, they won’t see that account’s content on their timeline. If the user is following the account they muted, they won’t unfollow it.

Our guide will show you how to mute someone in the Twitter mobile application.

Note: These screenshots were captured in the Twitter app on iOS.

Step 1: Tap the three dots in the top-right corner of a tweet posted by the user you want to mute. Note: You can also mute someone by going to their Twitter profile and tapping the three dots in the top-right corner of their profile.

Step 2: Tap “Mute @[username].”

If you ever want to unmute the user, you can repeat these steps and tap “Unmute @[username].”
