CEO Tim Cook's Fake Instagram Account Followed By Several Top Apple Execs

Tim Cook's fake Instagram account came into existence only in July this year.

Apple CEO Tim Cook's fake account on Meta-owned Instagram which top company executives were following has been pulled down by the company. Cook's fake account was first spotted by 9to5Mac and it has been successfully taken down by Instagram. Several top executives at Apple such as Alan Dye of Human Interface Design and Lisa Jackson of Apple VP for Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives were following Cook's fake Instagram account. The Apple CEO's fake Instagram account was operating under the name "tim.d.cook".

It should be noted that Cook has kept his social media presence to X, formerly Twitter. His profile on the micro-blogging platform has existed since 2013 and his social media habits are unlikely to change anytime soon. He is also present on Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo, the report added.

Cook's fake Instagram account came into existence only in July this year.

A profile under the username @tim.d.cook was created in July 2023. The first post on August 20 celebrated World Photography Day with two photos taken with an iPhone. The second post, created on August 23, is a 30-second ad for the campaign in partnership with 3DPets that was launched last week, as spotted by 9to5Mac.

The publication quoted people familiar with the matter that the account on Instagram was not created by Cook. Even so, the account is followed by some Apple VPs, such as Lisa Jackson and Alan Dye. Some other Apple employees are also following Tim Cook’s fake Instagram account.

This comes amid Instagram Thread's dwindling popularity and followers. Threads finally got a web version last week. The most requested feature on Meta's answer to X, Threads, has been a web version where users would be able to post, view feeds and interact with posts. However, the service won't be on par with the Threads app for iOS and Android, a report by TechCrunch said.
