How do you ask questions, raise issues, and/or report something?

Sometimes things don't really work as they are supposed to, or you just want to understand some things better, right? 

Well, first, to get a better grip on how Wattpad works you can either go to How Wattpad Works or you can check out the help center. There is also a nifty place to keep track of glitches or outages called Wattpad Status.

As for how you report things: There are three main reasons why you would report something on Wattpad.
    1) You have an issue with something being funky on Wattpad. (E.g. glitches, bugs, etc.)
    2) You have an issue with another user. (E.g. harassment, poaching, spam, etc.)
    3) You find content that doesn't abide by Wattpad's guidelines. (E.g. banned content, copyright infringements, etc.)

To understand what copyright is, check this copyright F&Q. 

Here's some help with the reporting process:

If the issue is about something wonky happening on Wattpad, we recommend first checking out the Known Issues, because often Wattpad is already aware of the problem.

If you cannot find the issue mentioned there, it is always a good idea to troubleshoot. By far, most issues will resolve themselves, if you restart either your device or log in and out of your account.

If the issue is about another user who is a meanie or is spamming you, you might want to consider using Watpad's mute feature. You can see how the mute feature works HERE.

Should any of the above not solve your problem or answer your questions, you can see how to report your issue with the following guides:
   - How to report a story.
   - How to report a user.
   - How to report a bug.
   - How to report an underage user.
   - How to report copyright infringements.
