As of now the pope has over four million followers on Instagram: one of the most popular social media platforms in the world.<\/p>\n
The pope's account was created on March 19, 2016, following a meeting with Instagram co-founder, Kevin Systrom. Systrom convinced him of the power images have to create ties between people of different cultures and languages.<\/p>\n
This was his first post, with the text in nine different languages, and it still is his most successful one to date with over 327,000 likes.<\/p>\n
This photo of Pope Francis visiting an infant ward, was also very well-received by viewers on Instagram, with over 254,000 likes.<\/p>\n
Out of the many that have been posted, one especially powerful image shows his visit to Auschwitz.<\/p>\n
Occasionally, the pope publishes videos with short stories of his travels and encounters, such as this one here. ;
\nIn a little over a year the pope has become the third most-viewed Head of State on Instagram, behind the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, and the President of the United States, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
