Twitter and Instagram aren't the same thing.

Franciscus, is the instagram account, but Pontifex which is the official twitter account for the papal office has been around since 2012. It was used by Pope Benedict and then when he stepped down it was labeled sede vacante in the interim and during the conclave. 

Here's an article about it http://www.cbsnews.com/news/vatican-deletes-pope-benedict-xvi-tweets-from-pontifex/

Well your OP does say, "The Pope is now on Instagram and Twitter" which is why some of us are pointing out that the Pope has been on Twitter for years.
