Social networks allow anyone express your thoughts in a limited way, since all of these have a series of rules that we cannot skip, if we do not want to see how our account is banned or temporarily suspended in the best of cases.
Instagram, like other social networks, allows users to create private accounts, accounts that can only be followed by people who have previously been authorized by its owner. This is the best method to prevent any user from reporting our account for posting content that breaks the guidelines of the social network.
Who reports me on Instagram
However, it is not always life insurance, and it is likely that, if we have a private account, with a very small number of followers, we will meet someone who does not like our type of content and has started a crusade against us to get banned from the platform.
Faced with this situation, the question that many users ask is whether it is possible to know who reports us on Instagram. The quick answer is DO NOT.
Social networks need the collaboration of users so that it offers healthy content, without discrimination of any kind, without violent content or that incites violence, without sexual content ...
These platforms have a series of moderators who, in theory, they review all the content. In addition, they rely on an algorithm that gives them a hand. However, it is not infallible. Thanks to the help of users, filtering content that violates the platform's usage guidelines is much faster and easier.
Indeed, there is no method to know who has reported to usHowever, we can limit the number of people who may be to blame for the ban we have received on Instagram or the reason why a publication has been removed by the platform.
We can find out, more or less, and depending on the number of followers we have, who could have been the complainant following these steps:
Check your number of followers
If you have seen how in the last, you number of followers has been reducedIf you more or less remember who was following you, you can get an idea of who is being bothered by your posts or a specific post.
Check the comments
The comments of your publications are not meant to fill the egoInstead, they allow users to know if a publication has been successful among their followers or has caused a controversy that they did not expect.
Check your private messages
The most normal thing, before one of your followers reports one of your publications, is that get in touch with you through a private message. Continually check this platform to see who may have been upset and try to talk to them.
