#Instagram adds a mute button that lets you ignore people without upsetting them

Instagram has finally added a mute button that lets you ignore people without upsetting them.

The feature lets you remove people's posts from your news feed without the risk of them finding out. A similar feature is available on other social media platforms, including Twitter and Instagram's parent company Facebook. But it has never been available on Instagram, forcing users to unfollow someone and risk offending them if they didn't want to see their photos. The mute button has already rolled out to a 'small number' of iOS users and will expand to all users in the coming weeks, Instagram said.
