FAQ

Are there limits to the number of Feedly AI Mute Filters a user or team can create?

The number of Mute Filters you can use is determined by the plan you are on:

• Pro+ plan – 25 terms per Feed
• Business plan – 200 terms per Feed

Note: The “All Personal Feeds” option counts as 1 Feed in terms of these limits. You can have 25 or 200 terms on this feed, depending on your plan.

Can a Mute Filter target a specific source?

No. Mute filters can target a list of sources (what we call a Feed) or all your Feeds.
