How do I report a comment on Instagram?
If you see comments that aren't following our Community Guidelines, you can report them. This may include comments like spam, hate speech and false information. To report a comment:
- Tap
below the post.
- Swipe left over the comment (iPhone) or tap the comment (Android) you'd like to report.
- Tap
(iPhone) or
(Android).
- Tap Report this comment (iPhone) or Report this comment (Android).
- Select an option for why the comment is abusive, then follow the on-screen instructions. Note: After you report a comment you'll no longer see it, but this doesn't mean the comment was removed by Instagram.
After you report a comment, you can also choose to restrict or block the person whose comment you reported.
Keep in mind that your report is anonymous, except if you’re reporting an intellectual property infringement. The account you reported won’t see who reported them.
If someone leaves an inappropriate comment on your post, you can delete it.
