Instagram Will Finally Let You Mute That School Friend You Don’t Give A Fuck About
About damn time.
Oh thank God. After years of you putting up with the boring-ass life story of that one guy you used to know in high school, or that annoying co-worker you just followed because you wanted to be polite, Instagram has finally stepped up its game and introduced a mute button.
Up until now, the only way to get those baby pics and gym selfies out of your timeline has been to hit the unfollow button. But now you can cut someone out of your life without them knowing that you’ve cut them out of your life. A perfect solution!
According to BuzzFeed, the mute function will be rolled out in the next few weeks. You’ll still be able to DM someone you’ve muted, and you’ll still be able to see their photos and videos if you chose to visit their profile.
You just won’t have to put up with their bullshit in your feed.
