Open Instagram and locate the Reel you want to report. Tap the three-dot menu at the top or bottom of the Reel.
Select Report
Choose the ‘Report’ option from the menu. Instagram will display different reasons for reporting the content.
Choose a Reason
Select the issue, such as spam, hate speech, bullying, violence or misleading content. You can also report nudity, harmful content or prohibited items.
Add Details
Instagram may allow you to explain the issue in more detail. Provide relevant information to help its moderation team understand your concern.
Submit Your Report
Review your selection and tap ‘Submit’ to send the report. Instagram will review the complaint and take action if the Reel violates its Community Guidelines.
Report the User Too
If the account makes you feel unsafe or threatened, you can report the user as well. Reporting does not guarantee immediate removal; Instagram reviews each complaint before taking action.
