How to Mute X Spaces

If you’ve ever scrolled through X (formerly Twitter) and suddenly heard voices coming from nowhere, you’ve probably stumbled into an X Space. These are live audio chats where users talk about all sorts of topics. While they can be fun, sometimes they’re just… too much. Want to block the noise and keep your feed peaceful? You’re in the right place!

In this guide, we’ll show you how to mute X Spaces so you can browse in bliss. It’s super simple, and yes — kind of satisfying too.

🎧 So, What Are X Spaces?

X Spaces are like digital radio shows hosted by users in real time. If someone you follow joins or hosts a Space, it often shows up at the top of your timeline. Sometimes, those purple bubbles pop up out of nowhere and won’t stop buzzing for your attention.

Not a fan? No worries. Let’s dive into how you can quiet them down.

🔇 Why Mute X Spaces?

Before jumping to the how, let’s talk about the why.

• Distraction: The auto-play or notifications can break your focus.
• Privacy: You may not want others to know you’re “listening in.”
• Annoyance: Not all Spaces are relevant — or interesting.

Okay, now that we’re all aboard the peace-and-quiet train, let’s get into the steps!

🚀 How to Mute X Spaces

There’s no big red “Mute All Spaces Forever” button (sadly), but there are a few workarounds that work well.

1. Turn Off Notifications for Spaces

This is the best way to stop X from alerting you every time someone starts talking.

1. Open your X app on your phone.
2. Tap on your profile icon in the top-left corner.
3. Select Settings and Privacy.
4. Go to Notifications > Preferences.
5. Tap on Push Notifications.
6. Look for Spaces and toggle it off.

Just like that, no more “So-and-so is talking in a Space” popping up to distract you while you’re trying to watch cat videos.

2. Use the ‘Not Interested’ Option

If Spaces show up in your feed and you want fewer of them, let the algorithm know.

1. When you see a Space at the top of your feed, tap the three dots.
2. Select “Not Interested in this”.

That tells X you’re not into the audio life. With consistency, it works!

3. Mute or Unfollow Overactive Hosts

Some folks just can’t stop hosting Spaces. If a user constantly shows up at the top, you’ve got choices:

• Mute them: Tap on their profile > the three dots > Mute.
• Unfollow them: Go to their profile and tap Unfollow.

You don’t have to listen to a 3-hour chat about crypto unless you really want to.

✨ Bonus: Cleaner Feed Vibes

Muting Spaces isn’t just about peace — it’s about a sleek, relevant, and fun timeline. By making a few small tweaks, your X experience becomes way more enjoyable.

Don’t be afraid to play around in the settings. Even though X doesn’t give us a master control switch for Spaces just yet, these methods work surprisingly well.

📌 Final Thoughts

X Spaces can be fun, engaging, and a bit overwhelming. If you’ve had enough of the chatter, take control with these simple steps.

• Turn off notifications to avoid surprise interruptions.
• Signal disinterest to help the algorithm work for you.
• Mute hosts who are too chatty.

Now, your timeline can be that little bubble of internet zen you always wanted.

Happy scrolling! 📱🛋️
