How to contact Instagram

Once you are on the Internet, you will likely experience different problems, especially technical ones. When this happens, there is usually a need to contact the relevant persons.

Currently, Instagram records more than 500 million users daily, an impressive average of about 1 billion monthly. If all these people tried to contact Instagram on this or that issue, Instagram would be overwhelmed. There is no way you can reply to 500 million emails. This article will guide you on how to contact Instagram.

Instagram and Customer Help

Instagram’s direct phone number is (650) 543-4800, and its email is support@instagram.com. However, it is almost impossible to get a human response if you use these channels because they are already overwhelmed.

Apart from using their FAQs (Frequently Answered Questions) page to see whether your issue has been addressed, you can use some steps on the app or the web to get help. This can be done by visiting the Help Center page.
