You follow a lot of people on Twitter. Some of them, like your weird Uncle Mo, you follow because you’re kind of obligated to.
But
that doesn’t mean you have to clutter your timeline with Uncle Mo’s
theories about how red meat contains secret government-sanctioned
mind-control chemicals designed to keep you from questioning “the Man.”
So to mute people in your Twitter feed without unfollowing them, you first pull up on your phone the profile of the person you want to mute.
Next,
find the Mute button. On an iPhone, you tap the gear icon next to the
Following button to find it; on the Android Twitter app, the Mute is
behind the button in the top right corner of the screen that looks like
an all-white traffic light.

Android Twitter app, left, and iPhone Twitter app. |
In either case, select Mute from the drop-down menu that appears

If you’re using the iPhone Twitter app, you’ll have to confirm that you want to mute the person; Android users don’t have to.
And
that’s it. You can now live guilt-free, knowing that Uncle Mo thinks
you’re still following him without having to see what he thinks about
vaccines and chemtrails.
