How many reports to delete an Instagram account in 2022?

It takes a minimum of 4 different reports to delete an Instagram account in 2022 (from experience).

Note that this figure varies according to :

• The reason for the alert The more serious the subject (harassment, nudity, hacking, etc.), the more likely it is that the account will be deleted quickly. The number of reports does not matter.
• The popularity and seriousness of the reporting account If your Instagram profile is well filled in (identity, contact, photo...) and has a large number of followers (popular), then Instagram will give importance to your report.
• The number of alerts The greater the number of reports from different Instagram accounts, the greater the likelihood of the targeted account being deleted.

In any case there is no no official communication of Instagram (Meta) in the Instagram community rules  regarding a minimum number of reports to delete an Insta account.

This is normal as it would be risky for Instagram to give an exact figure of the necessary reports.

Abuse would be widespread and anyone could shut down an Insta account with a few Instagram accounts.
