Instagram now lets you mute accounts without unfollowing them

Instagram is adding a small but important new feature: The ability to mute posts from an account you follow, without actually unfollowing it … When the new feature goes live, you’ll be able to mute sans unfollow by tapping the three dots next to the account handle, selecting「Mute Posts,」and tapping「Mute.」From now on, you will no longer see the posts from that account on your feed … The new feature will likely be of use to people who run their Instagram accounts like a business but still want to enjoy the service as much as possible.
