Someone made a fake account pretending to be you.
Shield gets your friends reporting it within minutes, preserves the evidence properly, and drafts your cybercrime complaint. Free, no signup, works on any phone.
I'm being impersonatedCreate a case
Four questions, under two minutes. You get a link.
Verify it's you
We confirm the real account is yours before your link goes live — usually a person checking it within a few hours. This is what stops Shield being used against innocent people.
Send the link
Friends tap once, follow four steps, and the counter goes up. Meanwhile your evidence pack and complaint drafts are ready to download.
What this does not do
Shield cannot delete an account. No tool can — Instagram has no takedown API, and anyone promising otherwise is lying to you. What decides the outcome is how fast a real cluster of people reports the account, how well the official report is written, and whether you escalate properly. Shield does those three things.
