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 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.
-
Muted users are hidden from 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 for
pm-with:<that user>. -
Muted users have their name displayed as "Muted user" for emoji reactions, polls, 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.
-
Recent topics 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.
!!! tip "" Zulip offers no way to distinguish a user who has muted you from a user who is ignoring you.
