Many of us are those who, at some point, have had a problem with our Instagram account. From technical failures or even worse ones such as spam or harassment. If at any time you have tried to contact Instagram, you will have realized that it is not an easy task. Therefore, today we want to show you the best way to get in touch with Instagram and, in addition, we will show you the solution to the main problems that you may have in this social network.
How to contact Instagram
We have already told you on other occasions that trying to locate a phone or email from companies such as Facebook or Twitter is an impossible task. But, in the case of Instagram it is different. If we search the internet we can find a phone number (+1 650 543 4800) and an email (support@instagram.com) direct with the technical support of this company. But we put you on notice from now on: it is more than likely that you will not receive any response through these channels.
As with the rest of social networks, responding to the problems of more than 1,000 million active users in a month that Instagram has would be impossible having a direct access point with them.
For this reason, and to help those users who have any failure or inconvenience in their service, this company has set up a help center that you can access from its website. This has the typical system of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) or frequently asked questions where they provide solutions through “tutorials” or simple explanations to all those common problems that its users usually have.
