How to Mute X Spaces
Ever scrolled through your X (formerly Twitter) feed and suddenly a random live audio chat blares through your speakers? Yep, that’s an X Space. Sure, some are interesting. But others? Not so much. If you’re here, chances are you’re wondering how to keep those Spaces quiet. Good news — it’s super simple!
Let’s jump into the easy steps to mute X Spaces so you can scroll in peace.
So, What Are X Spaces Anyway?
If you’re new to X Spaces, here’s the scoop. They’re live audio chats where people talk — kind of like a podcast but live and sometimes chaotic. You can host, speak, or just listen. Sometimes, they auto-play as you scroll the timeline. That’s when things get annoying.
Why Muting X Spaces Can Save Your Sanity
Maybe you’re at work. Maybe it’s 3 a.m. and you’re doomscrolling in bed. Suddenly, voices. From strangers. Loudly. Yikes. Thankfully, muting them is a few taps away.
How to Mute X Spaces
Let’s break it down into quick, clear steps:
- Open the X app on your phone (Android or iOS — doesn’t matter).
- Tap your profile picture in the top left corner to open the menu.
- Scroll down and find “Settings and privacy.” Tap it.
- Go to “Notifications.” It’s the section that controls how noisy your app gets.
- Select “Preferences.”
- Tap on “Push notifications.”
- Scroll until you find an option labeled “Broadcasts” or “Spaces.”
- Turn it off! That toggle switch is your magic mute button.
Bam! No more surprise Spaces popping up while you’re minding your own business.
But Wait, There’s More!
If you’re getting Space invites from followers or people you’ve never spoken to, you can stop those too.
Here’s how to stop Space invites:
- Follow steps 1 to 5 from above to reach the notification settings.
- Find the section called “Spaces.”
- Uncheck “Allow invitations to speak in Spaces.” Simple as that.
Now you’re not only silent, you’re invisible to Space invites. Stealth mode activated.
Some Extra Tips to Keep Things Chill
You’re not limited to muting — X lets you customize even more. Want to stay zen? Try these:
- Mute specific users who are always hosting Spaces at odd hours.
- Mute keywords like “join my Space” or “live now.”
- Use Do Not Disturb on your phone during relaxing hours.
Sometimes silence is golden — especially after a long day online.
Enjoy a Quieter Timeline
There you have it. X Spaces might be fun for some, but you’re in control of what you hear. Now that you know how to mute them, you’re the boss of your notification world.
Just remember, if you ever feel curious and want to hop into a Space, you can always turn the notifications back on. It’s not a forever decision — just a peace-of-mind one.
Happy scrolling, friend. And may your feed be ever quiet and peaceful.
