How to report an Instagram story: A quick guide

Introduction
Instagram allows users to report a post if they find it offensive or unacceptable to be shared on social media. Social media platforms, including Instagram, offer multiple ways to report offensive content, which could be a message, post, story or account. However, it is up to the social media platform to judge whether the content is against their community guidelines or not.
Reporting Instagram Story
The Meta-owned social media platform allows users to report someone’s story that they might find inappropriate. Users can also report posts and messages.

Conclusion
If Instagram discovers that a story violates their Community Guidelines, reporting it can help them take action to remove that content from the platform. Further, the company will use your report to ensure that you don’t see content similar to what you reported in your feed or in the recommendations like Suggested Posts and Explore, even if it doesn’t remove the content or profile you reported.
