You probably know that if you don’t want to see someone’s posts in your feed, Instagram allows you to “mute” them. But what if after a while you want to see back the content they post? Or perhaps you muted someone by accident?

Don’t worry. You can easily unmute an account on Instagram with just a few clicks.

Here’s how to unmute an Instagram account

1. Open the search menu

Search a profile you want to unmute by tapping the search button at the bottom of the screen - it looks like a magnifying glass.

Search for the profile you want to unmute by clicking the search icon

2. Find the person to unmute

Type their username in the search bar at the top and select the profile once the account you’re looking for appears.
