In this post, we’ll see how you can see if someone reported you on Instagram.
Instagram is a great social network, but sometimes you can face some issues with it, like people blocking you or reporting you for no reason (or for a good reason), or having your account temporarily suspended.
If this is the case, you can follow our tips to find who could have possibly reported you.
Can you know if someone reported you on Instagram?
The short answer is no. Instagram doesn’t disclose the list of people who reported you. Simply for privacy matters.
If Instagram keeps the list public, users would be afraid to report bad content and the report feature won’t be usable.
However, there are several ways you could guess that someone reported you on Instagram.
It is pretty rare that someone reports you for no reason.
Before reporting an account, people usually send DMs or give a spicy comment.
How to check if someone reported you on Instagram?
As said earlier, you can’t properly know the list of people who reported you on Instagram. However, we recommend you check your DMs and your latest comments or your list of followers.
Check out your Instagram DMs
Indeed, before reporting you, people might send you some DMs to tell you they will report you for this or that reason.
If you posted someone they didn’t appreciate, they will let you know usually before reporting you.
Check out your latest comments
You posted a picture that someone doesn’t like, and wants to report you for this reason.
The anger needs to be expressed and therefore usually reporters might leave a comment on the content they didn’t appreciate.
So be sure to go through all your latest comments to see if someone didn’t appreciate your content.
Check out your followers
If the person that reported you on Instagram was following you, you can check out your list of followers for “Users not found”.
If the person didn’t unfollow you before reporting, it is possible that this user will be described as “Not found” in your list of followers.
Can anyone report your Instagram account?
Yes, anyone on Instagram can report your account or your post.
However, you don’t have to worry – it won’t affect you except if you did violate Instagram guidelines.
If you did violate their policy, your post might be removed, and/or your account might be closed.
In any way, you’ll be notified by their team if this is the case.
Will your account be deleted if someone reports you on Instagram?
Well, the short answer is – it depends.
If someone reported you, the Instagram team will review carefully your account to check if you violated any Instagram policies (DMs or publications).
If it’s not the case, the Instagram team will just ignore the report.
If you did violate their policy, you might get a temporary suspension for a few days.
However, if your account keeps being reported by other Instagram users and you still violate their policy, Instagram will terminate your account.
So you really have to be careful with what you post and send to people.
Instagram really protects its users from spammy practices or scammers so be sure to follow their guidelines.
