# 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:
* All messages 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.
* All messages 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 [**Private
messages**](/help/private-messages) in the left sidebar and the list
of users in the right sidebar. Private messages between you and a
muted user are excluded from all views, including search, unless you
[explicitly search](/help/search-for-messages) for `pm-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 private messages.
* Muted users are excluded from the autocomplete for composing a
private 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, stream and
organization settings display muted users' names and other details.

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