With today’s tutorial, in fact, I will explain how to contact Instagram in order to report technical problems, copyright infringement, unauthorized publication of personal data and other issues to the staff of the famous social network. You will hardly receive a direct answer from who manages the service: the requests that are sent every day by the users are so many that it would be impossible for the staff of Instagram to respond to all but, if founded, your reports will surely be accepted and satisfied in the as short as possible.
