Now, a “mute” on Twitter isn’t quite the same as learning how to block a user on the platform. Not least of all, because a mute just puts a stop to an account showing up in your feed. As opposed to silencing them entirely. And, of course, you won’t get notifications from the user either. Which can be useful. Particularly if you don’t want to remove somebody entirely or clue them in about having been silenced. Since a mute also won’t notify the fellow Twitter user that they’ve been silenced. An outright block will. Blocking, of course, is easy enough too. And if you want to accomplish that, you can follow the steps below. We’ll include a note in the steps for how to block since the process is so similar. But, as with all of our how-to guides for services and apps, there are a few differences between desktop and mobile platforms. And to that end, this guide will include steps for both. With that said, without further ado, let’s take a look at how to mute an account entirely on Twitter.

So you want to mute a fellow user’s account on Twitter? Here’s how

Now, it bears noting again what, precisely, a mute on Twitter is, before we continue on to how exactly one is implemented. As defined by Twitter, the difference between a block and a mute is fairly straightforward. Namely, a blocked user can’t see your profile at all while logged into their account. And, depending on your privacy settings, they can’t see when they’re logged out either. Although they may be able to still if they log in with a different account. Muting, conversely, allows the muted user to follow you and see everything you tweet or retweet. They’ll still be able to message, retweet, favorite, and quote you. But you won’t see them in your Twitter feed. Just as with words and phrases you’ve muted.

Mute an account on mobile

…or on desktop

To un-mute — or unblock — a user

Simply follow the steps above for your preferred platform. Then, in step xx (for the mobile platform) or step xx (for desktop), select Unmute or Unblock instead. Those options should be in place in exactly the same place as the mute or block button were prior to following this guide.
