An impersonator blocked me on Instagram. How do I report it?

Short answer: You can still report. Instagram's impersonation form works without logging in, and a friend can send you the profile link and screenshots. Evidence captured from another person's account is fine.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Does blocking stop a report?

Can a friend report for me?

Anyone can report, but a report from the person impersonated is the strongest.
