If you need to contact Instagram for account help, there is no phone number or email that will let you talk to a person. However, you can visit Instagram’s Help Center to find guides and answers to common questions. You can also report posts and bugs with the Instagram app.
If you’re having problems with your Instagram account or need to report a problem, you’d probably like to contact Instagram for help. While contacting Instagram isn’t as straightforward as you might hope, you do have a few helpful options.

Does Instagram Have a Customer Service Number?
Unlike many other similar services, Instagram actually has a support number that you can dial. The phone number is:
+1 650-543-4800
Unfortunately, you can’t talk to a real human on this number, or at least not anymore. If you call Instagram’s support number (like we did), you’ll find that it plays a pre-recorded message and asks you to visit Instagram’s Help Center on the web for any help. We’ve not found a way you can get in touch with a real human on that number.

Can You Email Instagram for Support?
Instagram used to have a customer support email inbox at support@instagram.com, but it’s now defunct. This means you can no longer email Instagram to seek any assistance.
Try Instagram’s Help Center
Since it’s difficult to contact Instagram for help with your account directly, the next best way to get help for any Instagram feature is to use the platform’s Help Center. This is a website full of resources on various topics, offering detailed guides and information.
You can access this site with or without an Instagram account from both your desktop and mobile phone.
From iPhone and Android
On an iPhone and Android phone, you can access Help Center from within the Instagram app.
To do that, launch Instagram on your phone.
If you’re logged out of Instagram, access Help Center by tapping “Get Help Logging In” and then “Can’t Reset Your Password?”
If you’re logged into Instagram, first tap your profile icon in the app’s bottom-right corner.
On the following page’s top-right corner, select the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines).
In the open menu, choose “Settings.”
In “Settings,” select “Help.”
On the “Help” page, choose “Help Center.”

To use Help Center from your desktop, launch your preferred web browser on your computer and open Instagram Help Center.
On the site, use the navigation menu on the left to find various topics and get information about them. To find a specific topic, use the search box on the site.
To access the site’s contents in a different language, then in the site’s top-right corner, click the current language. Then, type and choose the language you’d like to see the site’s resources in.
Click “Save Changes” to save your changes.
You’ll find that most articles on Help Center offer detailed information as well as step-by-step instructions for performing various procedures. This makes it easier to learn about or use a feature on the platform.
How to Report a Post on Instagram
If you’re trying to contact Instagram to report a post, you don’t have to speak to a human to be able to do that. You can submit post reports from the post page itself.
To report a post, in that post’s top-right corner, tap the three dots. Then, select “Report.”
Choose why you’re reporting the post and follow the on-screen instructions. Instagram will then review your report and take appropriate action.
You’re done.
How to Report a Bug to Instagram
If you’re facing issues on Instagram, you can submit a bug report by just shaking your phone.
To do that, while you encounter the problem, simply shake your phone. Doing so will trigger a prompt where you need to tap “Report a Problem.”
A “Report a Problem” page will open. Here, tap the text field and type your issue. Instagram automatically attaches a screenshot of the page where you shook your phone. To add additional images, tap “Gallery” or “Take Screenshot.”
Then, in the page’s top-right corner, tap “Next.”
Follow the instructions displayed on your screen, and you’ll successfully report a bug to Instagram. The company will then review your report, and will likely offer a patch to fix the bug.
