1. Is Instagram Customer Service Good?

On PissedConsumer, Instagram has a 2-star rating, GlassDoor gives it 3.6 stars, while BBB grating is 1 star.

The most common Instagram complaints include:

  • Poor customer support, difficulty getting through via Instagram customer service email or phone number.
  • Unexplainable account deactivation or block.
  • Nudity on the platform.
  • Scammers and fraudulent activities by other users.
  • Challenges with Instagram login.

2. How to Call Instagram Support?

You might struggle to find an Instagram support phone number on the app or website. However, there is a phone number provided on various websites including PissedConsumer. Thus, when you search for the Instagram customer service phone number, you will be offered only this number: (650) 543-4800.

According to Instagram review #2850480, the phone number does not go through to a customer service representative. When you call Instagram support number, it diverts to an automated voice system where you are directed to follow certain online instructions to resolve the issue. You can find similar instructions in the Instagram help center.

Instagram makes it impossible to resolve any problems you have. Ive tried calling customer support and leads you to an automated voice system they use.

3. How to Contact Instagram Customer Service via Email?

According to answers on Quora, the Instagram customer service email is support@instagram.com. It was initially open for customers to reach out to support, but it is no longer open. When you send a message to this Instagram customer service email, you receive an automated response referring you back to the help center to resolve the issue.

This is evidenced by the numerous complaints that indicate that users do not get a response to the Instagram customer support emails they send out.

However, Instagram customer support does communicate with users via a no-reply email. Therefore, if you contact Instagram customer service help in-app e.g. by reporting an issue, they might respond by sending you an email. This option might be more helpful than calling the Instagram support phone number.

For instance, Instagram review #2879776 indicates that the customer received an email from Instagram.com after updating their email address.

4. How to Contact Instagram Customer Service via App?

The best method of contacting Instagram customer service help is in-app or on their help center. The Instagram help center provides step-by-step solutions for the most common issues.

For instance, according to Instagram reviews, one of the top issues is how to log in to an account. If the Instagram support phone number didn’t help, you can report such an issue via the app. Here is how to contact Instagram support in-app on Android and iPhone.

Android

  • Go to the Instagram app.
  • On the login screen, find the “get help logging in” tap below the log in button.
  • Provide your username, phone number, or email address, or choose the option to log in with Instagram.
  • Tap on Next. You will be led through a series of on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.

iPhone

  • Go to the Instagram app.
  • On the login screen, find the “forgot password” tap below the log in button.
  • Select “Username” or “phone number”.
  • Provide your username, phone number, or email address, or choose the option to log in with Instagram.
  • Tap on Next. You will be led through a series of on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.

5. How to Report Your Issue to Instagram Support?

  • Copyright infringement.
  • Harassment and bullying.
  • Blackmailing.
  • Someone threatening to share your private content.
  • Children under 13.

Instagram Help Center How to report things

For these issues, reporting through the app is more effective than sending messages to Instagram customer service email or calling a phone number. The easiest way to report abusive or spam content is by tapping on the report option on the content itself.

Conclusion

There is no real person on the other end when you call the support phone number or attempt to find an Instagram customer service live chat. Neither an Instagram customer service email address nor a way to chat with a support representative. This makes it quite difficult for users to contact Instagram customer support for help. Users have to rely on the help center to find answers. You can also login into your Instagram account to report an issue.

Have you attempted to contact Instagram customer support for help? You can share your issue with others by leaving a review.

Hi, on 06.03.2024 I was unsubscribed from my account on Instagram, the phone number is already old and the basic codes I received when creating the two-step verification do not work. My Facebook account works and is merged with the Instagram account. I only have two photos with different hair on my Instagram account. I wrote everywhere, even to support, and no one answered me. When I send the video for renewal, you don't want to approve it. No other answer!
