Instagram Help Center

Only the person who's being impersonated can file a report, but you can:

• Contact the person being impersonated by email or telephone to encourage them to report it to us.
• Direct message the person being impersonated to encourage them to report it to us.

If the impostor account is impersonating someone you're authorized to represent (example: your child), you can report the account using this form.

If someone is pretending to be you on Instagram, you can report the account with this form.

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.
