Ever scrolled through your Instagram feed and felt a pang of “wait, where are the Notes?” Maybe you muted someone’s Notes accidentally, or perhaps the feature just flew under your radar. No worries, because getting those Notes back in your feed is a breeze! In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps on how to unmute Notes on Instagram, whether you’re on an Android phone or an iPhone.
Unmuting Notes from a Specific Profile
This method is perfect if you only muted Notes from one particular account. Here’s how to do it:
-
Open the Instagram app and log in if you haven’t already.
-
Head to the profile of the person whose Notes you want to unmute. You can find them by searching for their username in the search bar at the top of the app.
-
Tap the “Following” button located just below their bio and profile picture. This button will change depending on whether you follow them or not.
-
A small menu will pop up. Look for the “Mute” option and tap on it.
-
Now you’ll see separate options for muting Posts, Stories, and Notes. Toggle the switch next to “Notes” to unmute them. The switch will turn grey when it’s off, indicating that Notes from this account are no longer muted.
Pro Tip: If you ever mute someone’s Notes again in the future, you can unmute them using the same method.
Unmuting Notes from Your Direct Messages
Did you accidentally mute Notes while browsing your DMs? Here’s how to unmute them directly from your message history:
-
Open the Instagram app and swipe left to access your Direct Messages.
-
Find the conversation with the person whose Notes you muted.
-
Tap and hold on their profile picture in the chat window.
-
A pop-up menu will appear with various options. Look for “Mute Notes” and tap on it.
-
You’ll see a confirmation message asking you if you want to unmute Notes. Tap “Unmute” to see their Notes in your DMs again.
Checking Your Muted List (For the Extra Cautious)
For those who like to be extra sure, you can also check your muted list to see if any accounts have their Notes muted. Here’s how:
-
Open the Instagram app and tap on your profile picture in the bottom right corner.
-
Tap the three horizontal lines in the top right corner to open the menu.
-
Select “Settings” and then navigate to “Privacy.”
-
Scroll down and tap on “Muted Accounts.”
-
Here, you’ll see a list of accounts you’ve muted for posts, stories, and live videos. If you see the account you want to unmute Notes for, simply tap on their name and toggle the switch next to “Notes” to unmute them.
That’s All, Folks!
Now you’re ready to see all the Notes from your favorite accounts again. Remember, Instagram allows you to mute and unmute Notes as often as you like, so don’t hesitate to adjust your settings based on your preferences. Happy scrolling!
