Pope Francis Joins Instagram

Pope Francis recently decided to create his own Instagram account to reach his many followers. He is now known as the world’s most influential leader on Twitter. Pope Francis has nine different Twitter accounts with over 27 million followers. His first photo he posted on Instagram was of him praying and a caption that read pray for me. Pope Francis makes his captions in different languages to accommodate his followers. He has since then posted five different times, with one of his posts being a video of him speaking. Pope Francis so far has 1.9 million followers and his account goes by the name “Franciscus,” which is the Latin name for Francis. He had met with the CEO of Instagram, Kevin Systrom, at the Vatican less than a month ago where they discussed the power of images and how it unites people of different cultures and languages.
