When you report something, your information isn’t shared with the person whose post or profile you’re reporting. Keep in mind that the number of times something is reported doesn’t affect whether it’s removed from Instagram.
If you don’t have an Instagram account, you can report someone using this form. If you’re trying to report a post or profile you can’t see, ask a friend who can see the content to report it.
