Twitter mute bars unwanted posts

People will still be able to see, “re-tweet,” or comment on Twitter posts of those who have muted them, but the person doing the muting will not be looped into the activity.

“Mute gives you even more control over the content you see on Twitter by letting you remove a user’s content from key parts of your Twitter experience,” Twitter added.

In order to mute a user, tap more and then mute @username. To mute someone from their profile page, one has to tap the gear icon and then choose mute @username.  You may not be able to use the mute button immediately as Twitter will start rolling out the new mute feature in the coming days.
