How to Mute Someone on Twitter!

A few weeks ago, I opened my Twitter feed and immediately felt overwhelmed. My timeline had turned into a chaotic space, with certain accounts tweeting non-stop and burying the content I actually wanted to see.

While I didn’t want to unfollow these accounts right away—perhaps out of curiosity or the occasional useful tweet—I knew I had to do something to regain control. That’s when I decided to mute them.

If your Twitter experience feels similarly cluttered, muting overactive accounts is a great way to clean up your timeline without burning bridges.

Here’s how you can mute someone on Twitter step by step.

How to Mute Someone on Twitter

Muting is a quick, non-permanent way to stop seeing tweets from an account without unfollowing them. Whether you want to mute from a specific tweet or directly from a profile, here’s how to do it:

1. Mute from a Tweet

• Find a tweet from the account you want to mute.
• Tap the more icon (three dots) at the top right of the tweet.
• Select Mute from the dropdown menu.

2. Mute from a Profile

• Visit the profile page of the account you wish to mute.
• Tap the more icon (three dots) near the top of their profile.
• Select Mute from the options.

This feature helped me reduce the noise on my feed significantly. However, as time passed, I started to realize that muting wasn’t enough.

Why Muting Isn’t Always the Best Solution!

After a while, I noticed these muted accounts still appeared in my following list. It felt redundant to follow accounts that I wasn’t engaging with or even seeing on my feed.

That’s when I decided it was time for a more permanent solution: cleaning up my followings.

The problem? Manually finding and unfollowing overactive accounts was incredibly time-consuming. I needed a faster, more efficient way to manage my account.
