Cyberbullying has become an integral part of social networks, especially Facebook. People find it fun to bully or bully someone without revealing their true identity. This is something they cannot do openly in the real world, and Facebook gives them the opportunity to use a false identity and bully, threaten, or abuse someone. But do you think Facebook would encourage this kind of behavior? No, and that’s why you have the ability to report someone on Facebook that you determine has crossed the line.
To start reporting, you need to know what you can report and how. If someone creates a fake account, posts hate speech, threats and abuse, or violates the privacy of others, you can report their profile, posts or comments.

How do I report someone on Facebook?
If you find a fake Facebook profile or someone impersonating someone else without their knowledge, you must report it. You can do it both on your mobile phone and on your computer, and the process is almost the same. Here are the steps:
- Access the person’s profile using the search bar.
- Then click the ‘three dots’ icon located in the lower right corner of the person’s cover photo.
- Click the ‘Send feedback or report this profile’ option.
- Then state the reason for the person’s application. Regardless of the reason you choose, you may need to provide more details.
- When you’re done, click ‘Submit’.
How to report a post on Facebook?
It may also happen that a certain post annoys you, then you can report that particular post instead of reporting the person. This can also be considered evidence that someone has violated Facebook’s guidelines. Here are the steps you need to apply:
- Go to the post and click on the three dots in the top right corner of the post.
- Click the ‘Send feedback on this post’ option.
- Give the reason for reporting the post and enter the relevant details then click ‘Submit’.
How to report a comment on Facebook?
Now, if you find an offensive comment on Facebook, you can also report it.
- If commenting on someone else’s profile or post:
- Go to the comment you want to report and click the three dots next to it.
- Click the ‘Send feedback on this post’ option.
- Give the reason for reporting the post and enter the relevant details then click ‘Submit’.
- If the comment you want to report is on your profile or published:
- Go to comments and click on the icon with three dots next to it.
- You can only delete comments because you can’t report comments on your profile or posts. You can remove it by clicking ‘Delete’ or if you want you can report the person’s Facebook account.
- You can also block people from leaving spam comments on your posts.
How to report a fake Facebook page?
You may also come across some websites created solely to spread distraction. If you find any FB page that promotes negativity or pornography, you can report it to Facebook as follows:

- Click on the icon with three dots that says ‘More’.
- Click on the ‘Register Group’ option.
- Choose the reason for signing up for that page and click ‘Submit’.
In a similar way, you can also report a group on Facebook that you find offensive.
How do I report a photo on Facebook?
Just like you’ve reported fake profiles, comments, and offensive pages, you can also report photos that don’t follow Facebook’s guidelines.
- Open the photo you want to report.
- Scroll down and click ‘Options’.
- Click the ‘Send feedback or photo report’ option.
- Select the reason for submitting the photo including details and click ‘Submit’.
Now that you know how to report someone on Facebook for harassment, it will take some time for Facebook to review and remove the behavior from their platform.
The problem arises when you want to report someone and you don’t have a Facebook account. Don’t worry, here is the solution.
How to register without a Facebook account?
Here’s how you can report a fake Facebook profile without a Facebook account:
- First, visit the “Report a fake account” website. You can use this link to report a fake Facebook account even if you don’t have a Facebook account. This feature is useful when you want to report someone representing you on Facebook but you don’t have a Facebook account.
- In the ‘What’s wrong with you’ drop-down menu, you can choose why you’re reporting the profile. The option that works best for you would be “This person is pretending to be me or a friend”. If you have any other problems, you can choose one of the other available options.
- Enter the required data and answers to the questions and click ‘Submit’.
What happens when you report someone on Facebook?
To keep the platform clean, you should never report something you find inappropriate on Facebook. Once you’ve submitted to Facebook an inappropriate report for people to see or read, Facebook will review the report and take the necessary actions. Facebook removes anything and everything that doesn’t meet their community standards.
No need to worry about your identity as your name and other personal information will be kept completely confidential by Facebook.
Note – Remember that reporting someone on Facebook is a serious matter and as a result the reported account may be disabled or permanently deleted. So only report those accounts that are actually involved in misconduct on Facebook. You can also discuss issues in the Facebook community for help.
