How To Contact Instagram Support

Are you in search of Instagram’s help to resolve issues with your account? Did you get shadowbanned, and you are now looking for a way to resolve the issue?

Here are the ways to contact Instagram support in 2021 to seek assistance with any Instagram you are experiencing with the app.

However, keep in mind that due to the extremely high volume of Instagram users (909.8 million users in 2021, according to statista.com) and support requests, the chances are that you will never get a direct response back. That is unless you report a security vulnerability, are an influencer or own a verified IG account. I had never received a response directly, even when my issues were resolved.

To submit a support ticket on Instagram you can follow these steps. This is the only way to contact Instagram support from the web in 2021:

1. Go to Instagram’s support website help.instagram.com
2. On the left-hand side, click Privacy and Safety Center
3. Click Report Something
4. Select the type of issue you’re experiencing
5. When the issue-related text appears look for a “report it” link.
6. Click the “report it” link
7. Follow the steps to fill out the form and hit send

You can also contact IG support through the mobile app, although it will be less flexible:

1. Go to your Instagram profile
2. Tap “Settings” at the top right corner
3. Scroll down to Support > Report a Problem
4. Follow the instructions there

Once again, the chances of getting a response back are minimal, as in most cases the issue will not be a top priority for Instagram. Combine that with the amount of issues being report from such a large user base and you can figure out why Instagram support falls short, to say the least.

The best place to find potential answers to your issues is Instagram’s help center at help.instagram.com. Don’t expect anything from their Facebook page or Twitter account.
