Note: I have used the screenshots from the Android app but iOS users won’t face any issue while following.
Open the Instagram app and go to Explore by tapping on the search icon at the bottom.
Under Explore, you will see the channels personalized for you. Long press on the channel you wish to remove until you see a Menu.
Select Mute [Channel Name]. That’s it! The topic channel will move to the end of the tray and will be grayed out. Similarly, you can mute other channels if desired. It is possible to unmute the channel by going at the end of the channel tray at the top and selecting the muted channel. After that, tap on Unmute.
Alternatively, you can also press and hold on the muted channel and select Unmute [Channel Name] to make it show up again in your channel tray.
