The Discover section on Snapchat is a great way to find and watch new content. However, if Snapchat keeps suggesting content that you don’t enjoy, it can quickly become an annoyance. Luckily, we have the option to hide and mute stories. This guide will walk you through the simple steps of hiding and muting stories on Snapchat’s story page.
The story page on Snapchat holds all of the stories that your friends have posted, as well as new content that Snapchat is suggesting in the Discover section. Perhaps you don’t want an ex-friend’s story popping up all the time, or you dislike some of the videos being suggested in your Discover. By using Snapchat’s mute and hide features, you’ll never have to see that content pop up again.
Quick Answer
Go to your Stories page > Discover section > Press and hold on Story > Select ‘Hide this content’. Or, go to your Stories page > Press and hold on a friend’s story > Select ‘Story Settings’ > Press ‘Mute Story’ > Press ‘Mute’.
