Conclusion
Muting friends on Snapchat provides a simple way to take a break from seeing someone's content in your feed temporarily. Just remember that muting is not the same as blocking - your friends will not know if you've muted them. The mute settings allow you to tailor what you want to mute specifically, whether it's messages, calls, or stories. So if you ever feel the need to take a break from someone's snaps, you can easily mute them on Snapchat and adjust the settings at any time.
