How to report (Instagram)
Due to the large amount of reposts on Instagram (and the amount of smartass in that app) I decided to make a post on how to report on Instagram. Be wary, I’m having trouble trying to understand this app as well, but after a good amount of search, it’s safe to say this is enough to get your stolen works down.
PS - This works on Imgrum too! Just type the username of the reposter on Instagram, and file a report from there!
PSS - Please note, beyond this point, I can’t go further. The original creator must file a report themselves. Forgive me for that.
I took these via phone, but if any of you found a way to write a report through laptop/computer, please send us a submit on how to report (computer vers).
1. Go to your stolen work and press the three horizontal dots. A white rectangular box will pop up, along with two options. Click on ‘Report...’
2. Another two options will pop up again. Go with ‘It’s inappropriate’.
3. You will be given a list of choices on what to report. If it’s copyright violation, scroll down and go with the ‘Intellectual property violation’.
4. It’ll bring you to this short summary of how they handle things on IG. Press ‘Learn More’.
From there, you can find questions on how to report on IG and much more. But it’s taking way too long, so I’m just going to save you the trouble.
5. Write ‘Copyright infringement’ on the search bar, and go with ‘How do I report a claim of copyright infringement?’.
6. You will be brought to that one page. And from there, you can file a report through online form that is (like IG said) the fastest and easiest way to report. So please press on ‘online form’.
7. From here, you have to write the form yourself. But I’ve highlighted the ones that you need to click on (just in case).
8. Once that’s all done, you will have to fill in your information. But don’t worry! Your information won’t be leaked, I promise. They need to have a precise confirmation before they take action, so don’t be scared.
And there you have it! How to file a report on Instagram. Good luck!
