Well, there an option and this might hurt some of my close friends! Instagram is adding the option to mute people from appearing in your feed. With an update rolling out “over the coming weeks,” you’ll be able to choose to remove someone’s posts, or both their posts and their stories, from appearing on Instagram’s main screen.

Although, you’ll still be able to view a muted person’s profile; you can unmute them any time you want, and the person won’t be told that they’ve been muted. Cool right? Adding a mute button is far more respectful of our actual relationships than unfollowing them. So don’t be scared to mute your daddies, mummies, uncles and aunties who have been clogging your news feed with some derailing contents! So while we await the update to be rolled out, start compiling a list of accounts to be muted… I’m out!
