So Pope Francis has just made history yet again by being the first church leader to get an Instagram account. 

Welcome to the 21st Century, Francis!

The Pope officially joined Instagram today under the name Franciscus after meeting with the head of the social media app last year and announcing the move earlier this week. 

The popular Pope has already mastered the art of selfie-taking, so it's only natural that he make the mighty leap into photo-sharing himself. 

Francis is no stranger to social media however as he already has a Twitter account on which he announced his Instagram news. 

"I am beginning a new journey, on Instagram, to walk with you along the path of mercy and the tenderness of God," read the tweet. 

His first post is a snap of himself praying with the caption: "Pray for me."

Having only been set up today, the account has already amassed over 298 thousand followers at the time of writing. 

We really hope he gets into emojis at some point soon.

Ever have those moments when you're scrolling through Instagram and you see a pic from your friend's account so you go onto their page and realise you haven't seen the last ten snaps they've posted?

Yep, us too. It's super annoying. But, according to Instagram, we all miss about 70 percent of what's in our feeds everyday. 

So, it has decided to change a few things around which means your IG is going to look a bit different soon.

The photo-sharing app announced that it is going to fix this problem over the next few months by introducing an algorithm-based feed.

This means it will place the photos and videos they think you'll like first so you'll never miss a thing. Sounds good, right? But we're a little suspicious.

The concept behind this means that if you haven't been on the app in a few hours and your BFF shares a photo of their dog, you won't have to scroll back five thousand years to see it. It'll be at the top of your feed.

BUT what if Kim Kardashian shares another nude selfie? The algorithm change could possibly favour the already popular IG accounts and leave us normal beings in the dark with our ten likes.

I guess we'll have to wait to find out.

It seems that Taylor Swift has been trumped in the social media stakes and by a member of her own squad no less. 

That's gotta hurt. 

Yep, pop star and Taylor's BFF Selena Gomez has just pipped Tay to the post this week by stealing her crown of the most-followed person on Instagram.

While Taylor is sitting pretty at 69.2 million followers, Selena just edged up to 69.5 at the time of writing making her the most popular person on the photo-sharing app. 

And we can't say we are super surprised. 

Taylor may have to a large fan-base, but the Hands to Myself singer is much more active on the platform consistently posting a hearty mix of personal and work photos as well as her amazing style. 

Despite winning the social media stakes, Selena has admitted in a recent radio interview that she would love to do a proper collaboration with her pal. 

"The opportunity has always been there and I think she is one of the most talented songwriters I have ever met. I don't know – I would want it to be a moment but we'll see." 

Meanwhile other Instagram queens such as Kim Kardashian remain well behind on 63.6 million followers while sister Kylie is on a respectable 54.3.

Kanye West, the king of Twitter rants, has agreed to join Instagram – but he has one strict condition for his fans, friends and family.

While going on another ramble on social media, the rapper said he was thinking about downloading the photo-sharing app but made it clear that no one can ask him to post anything or tell him what to do.

"No one can ask me or try to tell me what to Instagram… It's my art," he wrote.

"My tweets are a form of contemporary art only compromised by people trying to tell me what to tweet and not to tweet…

"Non artist trying to grab the paint brush…"

We bet his social media savvy wife won't be too happy about that, but sure they seem to be following in each other's footsteps lately so it'll be interesting to see what will happen.

If you're the type to take pictures of your food before you eat it (go on, you know you've done it once or twice) then you're food could actually turn out tastier.

We all know Instagram is filled with #foodporn shots, but science has actually proved that it's better to take a sneaky shot before eating it.

According to the Journal of Consumer Marketing, the time you take to snap your picture provides a momentary pause in consumption which "increases the savouring associated with consumption of pleasurable foods."

So basically, if you take a photo of your food, it (obvs) takes longer to start eating it. Therefore, you'll want it more and your brain will trick you into thinking it's tastier than it actually is. 

New York Magazine reports that the research was revolved around three different studies which involved 120 participants.

Ah, that's good enough for us. Get grammin' people.

Khloe Kardashian's fans are totally hitting out at the reality star as they think she's gone under the knife once again.

Khloe posted one of her daily outfit/hair/make-up shots and not even a minute later Instagram users were blasting her for being fake.

The 31-year-old sported the now infamous cornrows along with bright coral lipstick, but many said her face was looking more "puffy" than normal.

"I thought she was looking great but these past few weeks she's just getting more and more unrecognisable and 'plastic and perfect'," said one user.

While another wrote: "She was my fave cos she was the 'realest' so it's kinda making me sad she's selling out and giving into looking this way."

What do you think? Did she undergo some changes or is it just a good angle? We're not too sure…

We hardly believed it ourselves when rumours started about Liam Payne and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, but they dropped some huge hints over the weekend to 'confirm' their relationship.

And some eagle-eyed fans have even spotted their flirty social media messages to each other online.

Cheryl shared a photo of herself on Instagram ahead of the BRIT awards last week, where she posed in a black and white filter with green eyes photoshopped in.

And while her fans thought she looked smoking hot, they weren't the only ones:

Liam decided to leave a comment and said, "see you there babe," along with a cheeky smiley face.

He also left a string of kissy faces, which have since been deleted – but not before fans took screenshots of the comments first.

This comes after a weekend together where they went shopping in Tesco and Liam changed his IG profile to that of him and his new love looking mighty cosy.

And as we've all come to understand now, the minute things heat up in the love section for a One Direction boy, the fans aren't too happy about it.

Cheryl has obviously been receiving a lot of hate so to slam the online trolls, she changed her IG bio.

"When people hate on you, it's because you've got something they want," reports The Mirror and shortly followed it with, "All love, good vibes only." 

We get it Cheryl, he's your man. What do you think of their new relationship? We're still undecided.

Kesha has endured a lot in the past few years, but in recent weeks her high profile case has made a media frenzie.

The singer has been enduring a long legal battle with producer Dr Luke who she accuses of sexual and mental abuse. But unfortunately, the court ruled against Kesha and she has to remain with Dr Luke's label, Sony.

The 28-year-old, who hasn't produced music in years because of the contract, has taken to Instagram to thank her friends and fans for their support.

"I am beyond words in gratitude. Thank you is not enough but it is all I have. A million times over and forever thank you. The support I have received has left my face swollen from tears. I love you all so much. A statement too large for this format is coming…"

We just hope she gets through all of it.

Often clad in designer attire (not to mention totally OTT fur coats) there's little doubt that two-and-a-half year North West is already one serious fashionista.

Now it seems that the daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West is also experimenting with make-up.

And while most toddlers manage to raid a make-up bag at some point – Miss West has gone one better: creating the killer contour effect that her mum is famous for. 

In a revealing snap shared by the Kardashian's famed cosmetics guru Mario Dedivanovic (who along with Kim is definitely responsible for popularising the contouring trend), the little girl shows off an array of light and dark foundation stripes. 

 

When #North steals your contour palette omg

"When North steals your makeup palette," Mario wrote to his more than 2million followers.

The image, which has now notched up some 55,000 likes, went down a storm with his fans too, with many of them commenting on her cuteness. 

North turns three this summer and has now been joined by a baby brother, Saint, whom the Kardashian-West family welcomed in December.

Khloé Kardashian, Christian Bale and Taylor Swift – they're just some of the people Amy Schumer has been poking fun at of late, but one jibe in particular didn't go down too well.

The comedienne and actress has forged her career on taking the idea of female beauty and femininity and turning it on its head, and she attempted to do just that with a recent Instagram post directed at Taylor. Now though, she's been forced to apologise for it.

Amy's brand of humour didn't go down too well with the legions of Swift fans who accused her of "skinny shaming" the singer with a photo captioned, "Taylor that's not a thigh gap. This is a thigh gap," posted on Monday night.

The photo, which shows Amy and fellow comedy star Bridget Everett in their bikinis, seems to have been a dig at Taylor's Grammy ensemble, a two-piece dress with a thigh-high slit.

Taking to Instagram again today, Amy made an attempt at an apology, though she certainly didn't seem too happy to be doing it.

"That's not a beard this is a beard," she wrote alongside a snap of herself with a blonde wig and a face full of fake stubble. 

"So sorry to anyone with a beard this may offend. I am a comic and should never make fun of myself at the expense of anyone else that I wasn't making fun of in the first place #relax #beard."

She referenced the drama again later on, posting a meme showing the famous Simpsons "That's not a knife, this is a knife," quote with the caption, "So sorry to anyone with a different size knife too."

As for Taylor, she's been dealing with drama from several different sources this week – in her Grammys Album Of The Year acceptance speech she made a thinly veiled dig at Kanye West for his claim that he "made that b*tch [Taylor] famous."

Speaking to the audience on Monday night, Taylor said, "There are going to be people along the way who are going to try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame… you'll look around and you will know that it was you and the people who love you who put you there."

He's the king of the chat show; the guy who's on first-name terms with just about every A-lister going. 

And yesterday Corkonian Graham Norton sent the internet wild with a snap posted from New York, where he is currently enjoying some down-time. 

 

@giopionyc I said yes! #Valentine's #newyork…. to another drink! Calm down peeps!!

A photo posted by grahnort (@grahnort) on

Sharing a loved-up Valentine's Day snap, the presenter is seen with his arms wrapped warmly around handsome lawyer, George Sapio.

With the accompanying caption declaring 'I said yes!' along with the inclusion of an engagement ring emoji fans were quick to offer congratulations to the 52-year-old.

However, on further inspection, it seems that Graham was merely enjoying a spot of light-hearted banter: asking everyone to "calm down," he subsequently declared that he had only agreed to another drink… rather than a proposal of marriage.

Nevertheless, several folk were caught up in the moment, with one fan on Instagram declaring: "Ahhhh graham is engaged!!" And another excited individual said: "Omg!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!! So happy for you two! Love, love your show!" 

Others excitedly shared chapel, wedding, and celebration emojis in response. 

Late last year it was reported that Graham had split from his boyfriend, music marketing consultant Andrew Smith. It is believed that Mr Norton is currently single.
