Are you looking for ways to limit who can see your Snapchat stories? Is there someone in particular whose notifications and messages are clogging up your inbox?
If so, learning how to mute and unmute someone on Snapchat is key! In this article, I’m going to show you the step-by-step process of doing just that.
Understanding Muting and Unmuting on Snapchat: Key Differences
When using Snapchat, it’s important to understand the differences between muting and unmuting.
Muting a user means that you will no longer receive notifications from them, but you can still see their Snaps and stories in your feed.
Unmuting will revert these changes and allow notifications from this user once again.
Muting is useful when someone is constantly sending you snaps or stories that are not relevant or interesting to you.
By muting them, you can avoid being bombarded with notifications and focus on the people who matter most to you.
However, if you want to catch up on what they’ve been posting lately, simply go into their profile and view their content as normal.
On the other hand, unmuting is great for when someone starts sharing content that catches your eye again.
It’s also good for those times when someone sends something really important or pressing – such as an event invitation – which might have otherwise gone unnoticed if muted.
In summary, muting allows users to silence unwanted notifications without cutting off all communication entirely; while unmuting restores those channels of contact once more should users decide they want them back in their lives after all.
How to Mute Someone on Snapchat
Muting someone on Snapchat means that you won’t receive notifications from them, but you’ll still be friends and you can still view each other’s stories.
Here’s how to do it:
How to Mute Story Notifications:
- Open Snapchat: Unlock your phone and open the Snapchat app.
- Go to Stories: Swipe left from the camera screen to access the Stories page.
- Find the Friend’s Story: Scroll down to find the story from the friend that you want to mute.
- Mute the Story:
- Android: Tap and hold on the friend’s story, then select ‘Mute Story’.
- iOS: Swipe left on the friend’s story, and tap ‘Mute Story’.
How to Mute Message Notifications:
- Open Snapchat: Unlock your phone and open the Snapchat app.
- Go to Chat: Swipe right from the camera screen to access the Chat page.
- Find the Friend’s Chat: Scroll to find the chat with the friend that you want to mute.
- Mute the Chat:
- Android: Tap and hold on the friend’s chat, then select ‘Message Notifications’ > ‘Mute’.
- iOS: Swipe left on the friend’s chat, tap ‘More’ > ‘Message Notifications’ > ‘Mute’.
How to Mute Story and Chat Together:
- Go to Friend’s Profile: From the camera screen, swipe down to access the search bar, type the friend’s name, and select their profile.
- Access Settings: On their profile, tap on the settings icon (three vertical dots or a gear icon).
- Mute: Select ‘Mute Story’ to mute their story notifications and ‘Message Notifications’ > ‘Mute’ to mute chat notifications.
Notes:
- When you mute someone’s story, you won’t see their story in your regular story feed, but you can still view it by going to their profile.
- Muting someone’s message notifications means you won’t get alerted when they send you a snap or a message, but you can still receive and view their messages.
- You can unmute someone at any time by following the same steps and selecting ‘Unmute’ or ‘Unmute Story’ instead.
Now you have muted the person on Snapchat. Remember that muting is different from blocking; when you mute someone, you are still friends and can interact with each other, but you just won’t receive notifications from them.
