RELATED: What Are Instagram "Stories," and How Do I Use Them?

Tap and hold on the thumbnail for the account you want to mute and then tap Mute [AccountName]ās Story. Iām muting brosbeingbasic.
Muting moves their Story to the far right of the feed and greys it out so you donāt see when theyāve posted a new image. This makes it way easier to keep on top of the people you do want to follow.
