Instagram hacked in India: what to do

For people in India. The official routes, plus the India grievance route.

Updated 13 November 2026

If your Instagram was hacked in India, start at instagram.com/hacked on your usual phone. Follow the email, phone or video selfie checks. If money was asked from your followers or you lost money, report at cybercrime.gov.in or call 1930. Instagram makes the final decision.
