# Mute a user
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
!!! tip ""
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    This feature mutes a user from your personal perspective, and does not
 | 
						|
    automatically notify anyone.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can mute any user you do not wish to interact with. Muting someone will
 | 
						|
have the following effects:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Combined feed sent by a muted user will automatically be [marked as
 | 
						|
  read](/help/marking-messages-as-read) for you, and will never
 | 
						|
  generate any desktop, email, or mobile push notifications.
 | 
						|
* Combined feed sent by muted users, including the name, profile
 | 
						|
  picture, and message content, are hidden behind a **Click here to
 | 
						|
  reveal** banner. A revealed message can later be
 | 
						|
  [re-hidden](/help/mute-a-user#re-hide-a-message-that-has-been-revealed).
 | 
						|
* Muted users are hidden from [**direct messages**](/help/direct-messages)
 | 
						|
  in the left sidebar and the list of users in the right sidebar. Direct
 | 
						|
  messages between you and a muted user are excluded from all views,
 | 
						|
  including search, unless you
 | 
						|
  [explicitly search](/help/search-for-messages) for `dm-with:<that
 | 
						|
  user>`.
 | 
						|
* Muted users have their name displayed as "Muted user" for [emoji
 | 
						|
  reactions][view-emoji-reactions], [polls](/help/create-a-poll), and
 | 
						|
  when displaying the recipients of group direct messages.
 | 
						|
* Muted users are excluded from the autocomplete for composing a
 | 
						|
  direct message or [mentioning a user](/help/mention-a-user-or-group).
 | 
						|
* Muted users are excluded from [read receipts](/help/read-receipts)
 | 
						|
  for all messages. Zulip never shares whether or not you have read
 | 
						|
  a message with a user you've muted.
 | 
						|
* **Recent conversations** and other features that display avatars will
 | 
						|
  show a generic user symbol in place of a muted user's profile picture.
 | 
						|
* To avoid interfering with administration tasks, channel and
 | 
						|
  organization settings display muted users' names and other details.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Muting someone does not affect their Zulip experience in any way.

!!! Tip ""
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    You can also click on a user's profile picture or name on a
 | 
						|
    message they sent to open their **user card**, and skip to
 | 
						|
    step 3.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{end_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Re-hide a message that has been revealed
 | 
						|

						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{!message-actions-menu.md!}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
1. Click **Hide muted message again**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{start_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{settings_tab|muted-users}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
{end_tabs}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
From there, you can also search for and **unmute** users.
