I'm just going on the announcements.
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/

Thanks, I do know Benedict was on twitter. Reportedly, his tweets have now been taken down and archived.

Thank you, @Irshgrl31201
I'm surprised people aren't aware of that.
lol! What is surprising is that I know that!!! I am not a computer or techie person at all! I figured if I knew it, surely everyone else knew it years before I did!

LOL, well I have a techie daughter and part of her job includes PR and the use of social media, so I get the scoop from her.
I really love Instagram, we keep in touch with all the relatives that way, including pix of the kids and their travels in Europe... and it's all FREE.
It took me awhile to get into twitter, but I like the news updates and notifications if anything is happening in the city.

That's correct! This is old news. Must be a slow day on google.
************************************
You're wrong.
It is not old news that Pope Francis is now on Instagram. And a happy day to you, too
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.
Once again, you are correct. He has been on Twitter for some time now.

@Noel7 Well, here the Pope is well entrenched in 21'st century technology /social media & I'm only just now coming in "kicking & screaming" & still avoiding most social media! LOL. 😊

Saying he is now on Instagram and Twitter means now on both.
I am sorry this has all been so confusing to you, but I am grateful to Irshgirl for letting you know they are two different things.

Hi @3cupcakes
I know! I like it that this Pope is so advanced. I see it also as reaching out to the younger generation, which is really nice.

My daughter and son in law are really good with that stuff too. Even my grandson who will be 2 in July, knows how to swipe an Iphone to get to his flash cards on there. It amazes me.
My daughter put her business (and Etsy Store) on Instagram and it really took off after that. She got several mentions on Buzz Feed, which I am not entirely sure what that is yet, and that really brought in a lot of traffic. I do have an Instagram and Twitter account that she set up for me, but only started using them recently. I do like it though.
