Currently, to mute the status of anyone, all you have to do is long-press on the status update and select an option called mute it which will make the status update by that specific contact appear in a greyed-out state at the bottom of the stories window.

By using the new “hide” option next to the muted updates header, it will make a list of the muted stories and you won’t see any statues at the bottom of the status window that will also offer you a cleaner Status view.

After muting, if you decide to unmute any contact, all you have to do is to tap the ‘show’ option in the header of the window and use the unmute feature.

According to the details, this feature is currently in the development phase and start rolling out in the coming weeks.
