How to see muted accounts on Twitter
Muting an account on Twitter helps reduce clutter in your feed by preventing that account's tweets from appearing, while still allowing you to interact with them. But if you’ve muted several accounts and now want to review or unmute them, you might be wondering how to see muted accounts on Twitter.
How to see your muted accounts on Twitter
Twitter makes it easy for users to see which accounts they’ve muted through the settings menu. Here's how to see your muted accounts on Twitter:
- Open the X (Twitter) app or website: Start by logging into your Twitter account either via the app or web browser.
- Navigate to settings: Click on "More" in the bottom left corner (web) or tap the profile icon (app) to open the menu.
- Go to “Privacy and safety”: Select “Settings and privacy,” and choose “Privacy and safety.”
- Find “Muted Accounts”: Go to "Mute and block". Then you'll see “Muted accounts” along with "Muted words", "Muted notifications", and "Blocked accounts".
From there, you can click or tap the “Unmute” button next to the respective account if you want to unmute them.
You can also add more muted words, hashtags, and phrases from the same place.
FAQ about muted accounts on Twitter
Can muted accounts see my posts on Twitter?
Yes, muted Twitter accounts can still see your tweets. Muting an account only means that their tweets will no longer show up in your feed. It doesn’t hide your tweets from them.
If you want to prevent someone from seeing or interacting with your tweets, blocking is the better option.
You may also want to turn your profile into private so that people who don't follow you won't see your tweets.
Or, you can simply delete your tweets so that nobody will ever be able to see them again.
Can other people see that I muted them on Twitter?
No, people on Twitter cannot see if you’ve muted them. Muting is a private action, and there's no visible indicator to the muted user that they’ve been muted.
Unlike blocking, which removes an account from your followers and restricts interactions, muting is subtle and doesn't affect the visibility of your account to others.
Can you see who muted you on Twitter?
No, there is no direct way to find out who muted you on Twitter. This means that Twitter doesn't provide an official way to find out who muted you on Twitter, as they indicate on their official help page.
However, there are some indicators and runarounds for that. For more information, see this article: Can you find out who muted you on Twitter
But let me tell you this: You can actually see who "unfollowed" you on Twitter. How? By using Circleboom Twitter, of course.
Bonus: How to see blocked accounts on Twitter
The above steps for seeing muted accounts also holds here. The only difference is that you should be going for "Blocked accounts" instead of "Muted accounts" and you'll see the list of people that you've blocked.
Alternatively, you can use a third-party tool like Circleboom Twitter to view the accounts you've blocked as a list.
Just hover over the "Search" tab from the left menu on your dashboard and choose "Accounts I've Blocked". Then you'll see the full list before you.
