Introduction

Do you know that according to the reports of businessbyapps.com, the number of users of this platform in the Q3 of 2021 was 2 billion (active users)? In July 2022, the numbers were reported to be 1.4440 billion (according to DataReportal.com) across the globe. Moreover, the numbers are expected to reach 2.5 billion by 2023.

According to the statistics suggested by DataReportal, the number of active users in the USA of Instagram is 153.6 million. You must note that this figure is as of July 2022.Instagram Icons

The platform, launched in 2010, by co-founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Kreiger has seen massive growth over time. It is not just a suitable medium for sharing personal life but it is a good way to promote the business in the digital world. 

Now that you have an idea about the number of users of this platform, it is very likely that Instagram will have certain guidelines to ensure the safety of Instagram users. This is also important with the rise in spam or fake Instagram accounts and the display of content that is not suitable for everyone. 

Take, for example, pornographic content or pictures which display nudity. The Instagram app is a platform with many young and teen active users. These types of content can negatively impact them.

Before knowing about this topic, let us understand what is reporting and why it is important.

What is Reporting an Account on Instagram?

Instagram allows you to ‘Report an Account’ if you find any account which goes against the Community Guidelines of Instagram. report instagram account

Now, what are Community Guidelines?

As per the latest Community Guidelines of Instagram, this is what the platform has to say – 

As people around the world confront this unprecedented public health emergency, we want to make sure that our Community Guidelines protect people from harmful content and new types of abuse related to COVID-19. We’re working to remove content that has the potential to contribute to real-world harm, including through our policies prohibiting coordination of harm, sale of medical masks and related goods, hate speech, bullying and harassment, and misinformation that contributes to the risk of imminent violence or physical harm. 

These are the reasons as stated by Instagram for which you can report an Instagram account:

  • Fake or spam Instagram accounts
  • Nudity or sexual activity
  • Hate Speech or symbols
  • Violence or dangerous organizations
  • Bullying or harassment
  • Selling illegal or regulated goods
  • Intellectual property violations
  • Suicide or self-injury
  • Eating disorders
  • Scams or fraud
  • False Information
  • Posting Content that one shouldn’t
  • Pretending to be someone else or you
  • Account of a child under 13 years of age

How To Report an Instagram Account?a user reporting an Instagram account

Follow these simple steps in order to report an Instagram Account –

Step 1: Go to the Profile whose account you want to report. 

Step 2: At the right-hand upper corner, you will see three dots. Click on that.

Step 3: There will be a list of options you will get after the above step/ Choose the ‘Report’ option from the list.

Step 4: Instagram will ask you – Why are you reporting this account? Click on the option Report Account.

Step 5: You will have three options here: 

  • It’s posting content that shouldn’t be on Instagram
  • It’s pretending to be someone else
  • They may be under the age of 13

Step 5: Choose the option that best suits you. Next, Choose the reason for the same. Then Click on ‘Submit Report.’

You do not need to worry about reporting an account as your report is anonymous. Instagram protects your privacy and doesn’t allow reported accounts to know about you. So while you can wonder about the required number of reports to delete an Instagram account but you do not need to worry about your personal information being leaked.

Instagram will also ask you if you want to block the account so that they cannot view your profile, send you messages, or comment under your profile. 

Also, understand that Blocking and Reporting are two different things. Some people consider both the same. 

Blocking someone on Instagram means that you are stopping the account from viewing your profile or interacting with you. Reporting an Instagram account, on the other hand, means that you are reporting someone as their content goes against the Instagram Community Guidelines. 

Now that you know the step-by-step procedure to report an Instagram account to delete it, let me tell you the

How Many Reports Are Needed To Permanently Remove Instagram Account?

We do not have an exact answer to this question. Some say it’s 10, while some say it’s 50, and others argue that it’s 100. However, we do not know the exact number of reports that are needed to delete an Instagram account.

Have patience until Instagram analyzes your request and processes to delete the reported account. Instagram doesn’t delete the reported account based on the number of reports. It checks to see whether the reported account breaches its policies or not. Then only the platform takes any action.

Sometimes it takes less than 24 hours for the account to be deleted. While in other cases, it may take 2-3 days or 10-15 days even to delete a reported account.

But don’t worry, if your request is genuine, it will be approved by Instagram. Multiple reports draw attention to the account, perhaps the reason why people often ask their friends/family, too, to report the account.

Conclusion

The Instagram app has been continuously upgrading itself and coming up with new features. And the motive behind it is the security of its users. Instagram even ensures users get to change their usernames safely. 

Did you read about the recent features of Instagram – one is that the videos exceeding 60 seconds in the story will no longer be split, and the other recent one is that meta will now allow its users to switch between Facebook and Instagram.

Phew! Instagram has been trying and testing a lot of features lately. While some people enjoy the latest features, some miss the old version of Instagram, which was more of a photo-sharing platform and nothing more. Now, it is quite easy to contact Instagram for reporting a fake account and get it deleted immediately. 

Never mind, I hope you found this article interesting and helpful.
