On Instagram, X and Facebook the Vatican has not yet activated the official accounts of Pope Leo XIV. The problem is that in the meantime, dozens of accounts are being born who pretend to be Robert Francis Prevost. These profiles are accumulating followers with the risk that users are then scammed or in any case affected by marketing strategies.
Hidden requests. The account Robert Francis Prevost He sent a message. The effect is strange. It is okay that Pope Francis made sudden phone calls but perhaps pass immediately to Direct messages on Instagram It’s a bit too much. Then just open the profile and read in the biography To understand what was not back.
Robert Francis Prevost has 14,900 followers On Instagram and is one Official Fanpage. What makes it Official It is not very clear. This at least is one Untered -declared fan page But since Leone XIV was elected, dozens of fake accounts have appeared on several social networks, especially on Instagram and X. They are all harmless profiles for now. Publish the right Photo of the new Pope And at most some sentences.
The problem is quite evident: They are pages for now they do nothing but that in the future could begin to send messages of spam, advertising of scams or other. In short, it would always be better to follow Only the official accounts of the Churchpity that they are still stopped at the death of Pope Francis.

The account on X and the problem of the vacant office
Pope Francis’ official account on Instagram had as a username @Franciscus. Difficult to replace. It is therefore likely that this account remains firm and remain like Digital footprint of his pontificate. Just like the one left by the account @drprevostthe personal account connected to Robert Prevost used until April 15th.
Yet on X the Vatican has a series of neutral accounts, which exploit it Pontifex username accompanied by the acronyms of the languages used to publish the posts. None of these were touched. On the contrary. In all these accounts, only the Latin apostolic formula Sites Vacans appears in the periods in which The pontiff is missing.
The only movement here is in the username. Up toelection of Pope Leo XIV The main username dedicated to the Pope was @Pontifex. Now if we are looking for this username on X we find only a page with the written “This account does not exist”. The official profile has not disappeared. All the chronology of images and posts can also be found on what looks like a digital archive: @Pontifexarchive. Too bad that all the tags made with @pontifex now refer to empty pages.
