# 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 [**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, stream and
|
|
organization settings display muted users' names and other details.
|
|
|

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