How to contact Instagram

Are you having several problems with Instagram, would you like to report it to the app developers but you don’t know how to do it? Have you found content that infringes your copyright or that contains your private information on Instagram and you don’t know how to bring it to the attention of the well-known social platform? Don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place at the right time!

With today’s tutorial, in fact, I will explain how to contact Instagram in order to report technical problems, copyright violations, unauthorized publication of personal data and other common problems. You will hardly receive a direct response from those who manage the service: the requests that are sent every day by users are so many that it would be impossible for the Instagram staff to respond to all but, if well-founded, your reports will certainly be accepted and satisfied as soon as possible time.

Is everything clear so far? Well, then now take a few minutes of free time, read the instructions you find below and put them into practice to report to Instagram all the critical issues that you detect at this moment on your account (or on the accounts of other users). I am convinced that, even if you will not be able to speak “face to face” with a technician “in flesh and blood”, you will be able to solve all your problems with this famous social network. Happy reading and good luck for everything!

How to contact Instagram for account recovery

Let’s first see how to contact Instagram for account recovery. Whether you want to recover an account blocked by Instagram, an account that you have temporarily disabled or an account of a loved one who has passed away, so as to make their profile commemorative, below you will find out how to proceed.

How to contact Instagram for blocked account

If for some reason Instagram has blocked your account for an alleged violation of community guidelines or terms of use of the service, I’m sorry to tell you but it is not possible to recover the account. However, if it is actually a mistake there is some chance of success.

To proceed, grab your smartphone, launch the Instagram app on your Android or iOS device and log into your account. You should then see a message that the profile has been blocked/deactivated.

Then select the More information option and, in the new page opened, click on the word  Contact us. Now follow the instructions that are provided to you on the screen, answer the questions proposed to provide as much information as possible, indicate the required data in the fields Name and surname and Your username on Instagram and press the Send button to send your report.

Within a few hours, you will receive an email from Instagram with all the information necessary to verify your identity, which serves to prove that you are the owner of the blocked account. At this point, you just have to cross your fingers: Instagram will carefully evaluate your report and decide whether to “unblock” the account it had blocked.

How to contact Instagram for disabled account

Would you like to contact Instagram for a disabled account? If you have not deleted the profile (action from which you cannot go back), but you have only temporarily deactivated it of your own free will, there is no need to contact Instagram: just log in to your account again and it will rehabilitated, thus becoming visible again on the platform.

To proceed from smartphone and tablet, start the Instagram app on your Android or iOS device, enter your login data in the text fields Phone number, email address or username and Password and press the Login button.

From a computer, on the other hand, after opening the Instagram application for Windows 10 or after going to the main page of the Web version of Instagram, enter the data associated with your account in the fields Phone number, username or e-mail and Password and click on the Login button.

If you have registered on Instagram through your Facebook account, to reactivate your profile, simply press the Login with a Facebook button to log in. For more information on how to reactivate disabled Instagram account, I refer you to reading the tutorial I published on the subject.

If, on the other hand, the profile has been deactivated by Instagram without your color, for alleged violations of the rules of the social network, follow the instructions I gave you in the previous chapter.

How to contact Instagram for commemorative accounts

If you want to get in touch with Instagram to report a commemorative account, i.e. accounts belonging to deceased people, know that this is feasible using a special form made available by the platform.

I remind you that, once an account is made commemorative, no one will be able to access it, the “In memory of” label will be added next to the person’s name on the profile, the shared contents will remain visible on Instagram and no one will be able to edit them later.

To proceed, go to this page on the Instagram Help Center and fill out the proposed form indicating your name and surname, your e-mail address, name and surname of the deceased person, Instagram username through the appropriate text fields and menu of the deceased person, certification of death, when the death occurred and any additional information. When you are ready to do so, click the Submit button to submit your report.

If you want to remove the profile of a deceased person in the future, instead, you will have to contact Instagram through this other form, fill it in all its parts and send it.

How to contact Instagram with a problem

Have you noticed inappropriate or offensive content on Instagram? Have you been a victim of spam? If so, let me tell you how to contact Instagram about a problem.

How to contact Instagram to report inappropriate/offensive content

In this part of the article I want to explain how to contact Instagram to report inappropriate and/or offensive content, using the special function made available by the platform. However, I invite you to use it only if you believe that there is an actual violation of the community guidelines and/or the conditions of use of the service. Understood?

• To report a photo or video– access Instagram from the official app of the service for Android or iOS, from its web version or from the official application for Windows 10, locate the photo or video to report to the social network staff (also in the stories) and presses the icon of the three dots which is located at the top right of the post in question. Then select the Report item from the menu that opens, presses the word It is inappropriate and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the report, specifying the reason for which you are reporting the photo or video you have chosen (eg.Nude or sexual acts, Speeches or symbols inciting hatred, Violence or dangerous organizations, Sale of illegal or regulated goods, etc.). Depending on the type of motivation you have selected, you may need to go even more specific by selecting a sub-category to refer to.
• To report a profile– go to the latter, tap on the three dots icon at the top right, select the Report item from the menu that appears and press the Report account item. Then indicate why you are reporting the account (eg Post content that shouldn’t be on Instagram, Pretend to be someone else, etc.) and follow the instructions that appear on the screen to send the report.
• To report a comment you received on Instagram– after opening the post containing the “offending” comment, tap on the View N comments item located under the post itself, select the comment in question, press the [!] Symbol that appears at screen. Then select the wording Report this comment, press the item Is inappropriate, indicate the specific reason why you deem it inappropriate (eg. Suicide, self-harm or eating disorders ) and follow the instructions that appear on the screen to complete the report.

If you want to file a copyright infringement report, for an account that has assumed someone else’s identity on Instagram, for violation of Instagram guidelines (such as photos, videos, profiles or comments with explicit or violent content ), for violation of your privacy rights, for bullying or other intimidating behavior, reporting a user under 13 on Instagram, reporting a person convicted of sexual assault on Instagram or for other content reports, make use of the specific modules available in the Social Network Help Center, which I have just linked to you.

Once your report is received, the Instagram staff will evaluate it and decide whether to intervene on the content or let it go. Unfortunately, there is no way to track the status of the practice.

How to contact Instagram for spam

Would you like to contact Instagram for spam? If so, let me tell you how to do this in regards to content, accounts and comments.
