Do you need to contact Instagram? How to do it

como contactar con instagram

Whatever the problem you have on Instagram, here we will help you solve it by explaining how to contact the application directly. Keep in mind that Instagram has more than 1 billion active users per month and they surely receive millions of complaints and inquiries per day that their human team cannot attend to. That is the reason why they do not respond quickly and often do not even respond.

In fact, the majority of queries on Instagram are served by algorithms and functions that try to solve users’ concerns with predefined actions . The probabilities that your problem will be solved by one of these functions depend on whether you have chosen the correct way to make the claim.

And it is not the same to contact Instagram to recover a stolen or hacked account than to report insults or harassment. Depending on the type of problem you have, you will have to resort to one contact channel or another to get Instagram to listen to you . In the following lines, we will show you all the possible ways to contact Instagram so that you can solve your problems in the best way.

Instagram has an email and a phone number to contact them: support@instagram.com and +1 650 543 480 0 . However, it is practically impossible for them to respond to you in these ways that the Instagram customer service team only uses in very special cases.
