What to do if someone you know is being impersonated on Instagram
There are two ways to report an account impersonating someone you know on Instagram.
- You can report the account from their profile. When you report the account, you’ll be able to let us know which account the imposter is pretending to be.
- You can also contact the person being impersonated by email, telephone, or Direct message 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 it to us from within the Instagram app or 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.
