Updates tab.

2. Click the contact.


3. Click

scroll down
to find the Muted section.

Unmute contact’s status updates

Note:
Muting or unmuting someone on status doesn't impact their ability to see your
status
updates. To exclude someone from seeing your status updates, adjust your status
audience settings. Learn more about changing your status privacy.
The Muted section won’t appear if your muted contacts haven’t shared a recent
status
update. When a contact shares a status, you'll see it here and can unmute them.
Status updates disappear after 24 hours.
If you mute someone’s status updates, they can send you statuses in chats with a
Help Center
mention.
To stop their status mentions, block the person or archive your shared chat.
