Instagram has billions of users worldwide, making it one of the most popular social media platforms. However, with so many users, cases of losing access to their accounts, disabled ads, and policy violations are widespread. That’s why we decided to share how to contact Instagram Support in 2025 through email. The main hurdle for users is reaching out to Instagram’s support team via email. Previously, Instagram users used support@instagram.com, but this email no longer works for support in 2025. Check out this article: How to Get Your Music Featured on Spotify Playlists in 2025

Here’s how to reach Instagram support via email or other means in 2025, broken down step by step.

Does Instagram Have an Email Support?

Many users search for Instagram’s official email to fix their issues, but Instagram no longer offers direct email support for general inquiries. The old Support@instagram.com email is unmonitored and unresponsive.

Still, Instagram does have dedicated email addresses that you can try if your issue falls into one of those categories. These include media and press inquiries: Press@instagram.com. Copyright@instagram.com—Copyrights are for copyright and intellectual property disputes. Help@instagram.com—Used at times for support but will not always respond. Advertising@instagram.com—For business and advertisement-related inquiries. Check out this article Why Artists Should Submit Their Music Directly to Honk Magazine

Contact Instagram’s Help Center

Email support doesn’t work reliably, so going to Instagram’s Help Center at https://help.instagram.com is your best bet. Official forms to make inquiries in the following areas can be found here:

Account recovery (for hacked or disabled accounts)

Ad appeal requests

Policy violations

Impersonation issues

Technical bugs

To reach Instagram through the Help Center:

Visit https://help.instagram.com

Find the solution to your issue using the search bar

Complete a formal support request form if it’s needed

Contact Instagram through In-App Support

Instagram offers in-app support to contact for help. Here’s how:

Log on to Instagram. Open the app and visit your profile

Click on the top right three-line menu (☰)

Select Settings and Privacy.

Scroll down to Help and tap Report a Problem.

Provide details about your issue and submit the request.

This may be the quickest way to elicit a response from Instagram’s support team.

How to Appeal for a Disabled Instagram Account

If your account has been disabled, you won’t be able to log in. But you can appeal by completing an Instagram account recovery form instead:

Go to https://help.instagram.com/368191326593075

My Instagram Account Was Disabled Fine.

Enter your full name, email, and username, and explain why your account should be restored.

[NOTE: You may be asked to send a photo of yourself holding a verification code.]

Please wait for a response to your email (it could be several days or weeks).

Reach Instagram Support Via Social Media

Instagram lacks email support but responds on official social media handles. A lot of users have had success by contacting Instagram’s official accounts on Twitter and Facebook:

Twitter: @Instagram (Twitter generally deals well with customer complaints.)

Facebook: You can also message Instagram on its official Facebook page.

Instagram: If you haven’t another account, comment on their posts and tag them to get noticed.

A few users have suggested that commenting on Instagram’s official posts from another account is more likely to get you a response.

How to Contact Instagram for Ad Problems

If you receive disabled or rejected Instagram ads, you can appeal directly to the Facebook Business Manager.

You can visit https://www.facebook.com/business/help.

Select Get Support, then Ads.

Choose your problem (ad rejection, payment issues, etc.).

You fill out an appeal, and Instagram’s ad team reviews it.

If you have a business account and go through Facebook Business Manager, you can also have live chat support (this can also lead to a quicker response).

Be Careful Of Scams And Phishing Emails

Since most users are desperate to contact Instagram support, scammers benefit from it by sending fake emails. Here’s what to do to protect yourself:

Never respond to emails claiming to be from Instagram if you did not request these emails.

Pay close attention to the email address of the person contacting you. All legitimate Instagram emails will be from an address ending with @instagram. com or @facebook. com.

Avoid sharing sensitive details like passwords. Instagram will never send you an email asking for your password.

As of 2025, the email option to contact Instagram support is no longer the best choice. Instead, users should contact Instagram through the Help Center, in-app support, and social media.

However, the official portal provides the proper steps to take, and if your account has been disabled, the only way back is to fill out that form. If ads are your issue, using Facebook Business Manager is your best friend.

If Instagram doesn’t offer a resolution, these methods can give you a better chance of getting a solution to your Instagram-related issues. If your problems are resolved, please come back to this article and drop a comment on how you went about it. So other people will learn from it.

Today, we will share the best music streaming platforms for independent artists in 2025. The music industry has evolved dramatically, with streaming platforms now being the primary way for artists to release their music globally. This dependence on platforms is particularly important for independent artists, who need to be able to access audiences, monetize their work, and build careers without the help of major record labels. So many streaming services exist that it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. In 2025, more indie musicians will use them than ever before. This guide ranks the music streaming platforms available to artists today based on payouts to artists, audience reach, promotional tools, and ease of use. Check out this article: How to Get Your Music Featured on Spotify Playlists in 2025

Spotify – The Industry Giant

Pros:

Potentially sizeable global audience (630 million+ users)

Analytics on Spotify for Artists dashboard

Opportunities for playlist placements

Discovery features driven by algorithms

Cons:

Low per-stream payouts ($0.003 – $0.005 per stream)

Intense pressure for placements on playlists

For independent artists seeking exposure, Spotify is still the one to beat. Offering algorithmic playlists (Discover Weekly, Release Radar) and editorial playlists, Spotify provides artists with access to millions of listeners. Spotify for Artists offers advanced analytics, allowing musicians to better understand their audience and refine their promotional strategies. However, its low per-stream payouts mean that artists need huge streaming numbers to generate substantial revenue.

Apple Music – Better Royalties, Consistent Fanbase

Pros:

$0.01 per stream Higher per-stream payouts

Loyal subscriber base

Insights in Apple Music for Artists

Cons:

Smaller user base as compared to Spotify

Fewer Playlist discovery features

Apple Music is a solid alternative to Spotify, particularly for artists who value earnings over reach. With a per-stream payout nearly double that of Spotify, it’s a more financially rewarding platform for independent musicians. Apple Music’s loyal user base prefers a top-notch music experience that also comes with exclusive and high-fidelity audio content. However, it does not have Spotify’s sophisticated algorithmic discovery tools. Apple also has its data that it provides via the Apple Music for Artists tool, which gives musicians insights into the demographics of their listeners and streaming data.

SoundCloud — Paradise For Promise

Pros:

Direct-to-fan monetization (SoundCloud Premier / Repost by SoundCloud)

Uploading music directly with no distributor (free platform)

Oodles of indie and underground scene

Cons:

Smaller user base compared to Spotify and Apple Music

Free users have limited monetizationⒸ David Martynowski

SoundCloud has always been known as an outlet for independent and underground artists. What are the benefits of using SoundCloud? Unlike Spotify and Apple Music, artists can upload their songs directly without a distributor. With monetization options like SoundCloud Premier and Repost by SoundCloud, artists can get paid to get played to a perfect, engaged audience. The platform’s open ecosystem encourages a natural discovery of music, making it ideal for new artists looking to establish a small fanbase.

YouTube Music — The Video Effect

Pros:

Acclimatisation to YouTube videos

Monetization through ad-based and subscription

Huge global audience

Cons:

More Spotify and Apple Music payouts

My Music discovery is related to the YouTube algorithm

YouTube Music uses YouTube’s enormous reach to offer artists a different way of connecting with fans. Because music videos are a core segment of artist branding, YouTube Music allows indie musicians to access visual and audio content strategies. Although YouTube also pays less per stream (compared to other primary streaming services), the possibility of monetizing ads, YouTube’s Content ID system, and the YouTube Music Premium option make it a widely used platform by independent artists.

Tidal – Best Audio Quality and Payouts

Pros:

Top industry per-stream payout ($0.0125/stream)

Audio option (FLAC, MQA) for high fidelity

Artist-friendly revenue model

Cons:

Fewer users than on Spotify and Apple Music

For less powerful discovery algorithms

If artists want fair payouts and the highest-quality audio, Tidal is the best platform for them. Partially owned by artists, Tidal pays some of the highest per-stream rates in the business. Although its customer base is far smaller than its competitors, Spotify or Apple Music, Tidal’s unique revenue-distribution model means that artists get a fairer share of what they’re making. The service is a favorite among audiophiles who prefer lossless sound quality.

Bandcamp — The Best Platform for Supporting Artists Directly

Pros:

Artists earn 85%+ of revenue (direct sales model)

No limits on streaming payouts

We are limited to independent and DIY artisan types

Cons:

No traditional streaming features

Not as many people like the big platforms

Unlike traditional streaming services, Bandcamp is a marketplace where artists sell directly to fans. The events are called Bandcamp Fridays (the day the platform gives up its share of revenue), allowing indie artists to take full advantage. In addition to digital sales, Bandcamp also allows physical sales (vinyl, CDs, merch), so it’s a great choice for any musicians who want maximum control over their income streams.

Audiomack – A Global Rising Star in Emerging Markets

Pros:

Upload free music without a distributor

Increased popularity in Africa and Latin America

Monetizing using Audiomack Premier

Cons:

– Smaller than the competitive payout of big platforms

Data is being aggregated up to October 2023

Audiomack has caught on among independent musicians, especially in developing music markets. It allows free uploads while monetizing via Audiomack Premier. Audiomack is not the highest payer (see you, Apple Music and Tidal), but it offers a blossoming fanbase, especially for hip-hop, Afrobeats, and reggaeton styles.

Deezer – A Global Alternative

Pros:

Orgenesis’s strengths are in Europe and Latin America

Deezer Backstage: Artist-centric programs

Higher payouts than Spotify

Cons:

20 Limited North American market share

Less powerful discovery tools

Deezer enables artists to expand their fanbase internationally. The company targets European and Latin American audiences, pays more than Spotify per stream, and has special tools for artists, like Deezer Backstage, which lets artists customize their profiles and easily access data.

In conclusion, the best Platforms for Indie Artists in 2025.

The best streaming services for independent artists depend on what they want to do. For exposure and audience growth, Spotify and YouTube Music provide the broadest reach and best discovery tools. Best payouts for streams: Tidal and Apple Music. For more direct-to-fan engagement, Bandcamp and SoundCloud offer more control over monetization. For emerging markets, Audiomack and Deezer are great options.

In a world where streaming alone is often not enough, independent artists should be willing to leverage multiple platforms to capture the most value and ensure their music reaches as broad an audience as possible. This allows indie musicians to create successful careers, while allowing creative control over their music via streaming and allowing them to harness the strength of a multitude of streaming services.
