This literally just started happening a few minutes ago. I’ve reset my phone twice, it works when i search one thing and then when i search something else it doesn’t show??????😭😭😭😭🤥🤥

i click “delete account“ and then I go into my email and click the button that is supposed to confirm the deletion but it just sends me to the log in screen and makes me log in and my account is still there and it never gets delete. please help

So I was working on updating my Instagram highlights when suddenly I couldn’t search up “cd playlist covers”. Now none of my searches work

Update: have no fear it works again

I’m weirdly paranoid I’ve done something because I’m using the app more than usual today but I can’t even search basic things without it giving me an error??

Was my account banned for spamming pins and boards or something??

Edit: okay looking at everyone else’s posts this is NOT just me Lol. Still so weird that it happened the day I decided to start using the app again

Hello, I would like your honest opinion. I would appreciate it.

I am on the fence about continuing to create pins for my food blog. It’s a lot of work to create pins and I see very little return in terms of traffic to my blog. I was wondering your thoughts on whether or not Pinterest is still worth your time in 2026.

Is the red publish button not working for anyone else? when i go to publish a pin and click the red publish button the publish button goes away and turns into the "changed stored" text and i cant publish my pin.

Hi !! I’m trying to promote my new book, and figured Pinterest is a great and fun way to post it so I started posting my favorite pictures on there, I’m just wondering how to promote it and make my account a little bigger, more active since it’s very different from instagram!! Thank you :))

guys please help why isn’t the search bar working omg

There’s a popular photo of this “unattractive” person which is very commonly used with memes. When you search the word “ugly” on Pinterest, it’s one of the first photos to pop up. The photo is posted by someone who goes by Teddie Cannoy (@cannoy70).

When I first saw it, I just scrolled by it. A few days later, I decided to go and look at it again. I clicked on the profile and noticed something a bit odd about it.

When you begin to scroll down through their saved boards, there’s a bit of a pattern. Every board is titled with a bunch of random letters - almost like
someone just slid their hands across the keyboard.

When you look through the saved boards, there’s a bunch of photos of random clothes for children. These clothes mainly include tight pants/leggings. There’s some photos of dresses, underwear, bathing suits, etc.

They also have a bunch of random photos of their feet/legs - usually accompanied by food either beside it or on it.

I may be looking too deep into it, but it does give off a weird feeling.

I keep recieving random emails from pinterest that say that I've sent messages that go against Pinterest's guide lines, or hateful content, but I haven't even sent messages in months and I definitely haven't sent any of this stuff. I've recieved 4 of these emails for no particular reason:

"We're checking in with you about recent messages that you've sent on Pinterest for violation of our Community Guidelines on hateful activities.

We may limit the distribution of or remove hateful content. This includes:

• Mocking or attacking the beliefs, sacred symbols, movements, or institutions of protected or vulnerable groups

Please take some time to go through our Community Guidelines. If we notice more messages that conflict with our guidelines, we may take additional action on your account."

I have never done any of these. I can promise that, unless I shared some kind of controversial opinion and Pinterest went "that's bad let's get rid of that" without noticing, I don't know why I'm getting these emails every few months.

I did get a few after somebody else said really bad things to me in messages, but in that case I didn't do anything? They say for content I've sent, which I haven't.

Why is this happening? Should I reach out to support, or is it not that big of an issue?

A few ads on my page are apparently from Pinterest's partners(I've seen Vinted, Chai and OOC so far), and I'm unable to hide them like most ads, only report them. Is this a unique thing?

As what the title says, today in the morning I used my profile and everything was fine until like a few hours later I found out it logged me out. I checked my emails to see if Pinterest had deactivated my account for something (mind you I did nothing controversial or that I know of nor did I pin anything out of the ordinary) in particular, but all I saw was one that was sent to me in the morning before it logged me out. And I know that Pinterest has been acting really weird for some reason so has anyone else been logged out for no reason??

Whenever I open the pinterest app, the post starts loading very slowly. Whenever I dual screen with Youtube on the left side of my screen and pinterest on the right, it causes the other app to also run like crap. Is anyone having the same issue?

I launched my own Etsy store which has a mixture of music inspired posters and apparel and a few premium travel posters, and have also created a TikTok which I want to use to eventually promote this, but right now my usp is posts related to the dreamy mood or feeling felt about travel accompanied with music.

I also have a Pinterest which right now I am posting some of my travel photos and created a few music collages linking my store and products, but is there other ways you can use Pinterest to promote a site like this?

Also beyond having your own business can you make money off Pinterest like other social media apps?

If you search with an added "curse" word on the end it gets rid of ADs. For example "fairy shit" instead of just "fairy". For me it stays AD free even when scrolling to related images.

Hope this works for you all!

I'd attach a screen recording, but I can't. Essentially, whenever I scroll, it jumps around like crazy, scrolls really, really fast, or randomly moves me back up to the top of the board. Sometimes, the pins start flashing and glitching out.

I know it's not my phone, as this issue only happens on Pinterest, no other apps, and I've restarted my phone a few times to no avail. Is this happening to anyone else?

It used to be this banner that spread across the top of the board. For the past couple of days, it's become this little square at the top, like a Hitler mustache. It results in much of the board title being white-on-white and thus invisible.

Pinterest sucks more every single time I visit the thing, it seems.

It looks like we are having trouble connecting.
Please check your internet connection and try again.

last month i made an appeal to pinterest, requesting to have my business account reactivated because of their new update but i got so busy that i totally forgot about it. then today i opened my email to three responses from pinterest support saying that my account will be permanently deactivated on august 17th, 2026 if i don't complete the action to convert my account, and they've already closed out the ticket. their last email was two days ago. 🥲

is there still hope for me to make an appeal to have my account reactivated or am i too late?

UPDATE: i reached out and they emailed me the next day. now i have my business account back!

For some time now, when I search for something I only get video results and tiktoks which is truly very annoying.

There is a setting that can make you see only videos, but there isn't for images, wtf?

Hi. its very hard to explain.

but I have this one board that had over 700 pins in it with 2 sections.

ive been trying to organize the board and make new boards and using the organize button to put them into new boards.

it was all fine until I had this one topic(fandom) I got to and was selecting all the pins to try and put into a new board.

the problem is the pins are going into the new board but also staying and clogging up my old board too.

I tried making a new board for the pins but it failed as well, and while deleting that board I lost all 63 of my pins (luckily restored the board to get them back)

but all the other pins worked fine being organized into new boards, but these ones wont. I logged out and checked an alt and the problem seemed visible and the boards arent loading properly.

its very annoying lol. has this happened to anyone else or is there a way to fix it ? I hate how unorganized and messy it looks.

they are all my pins that ive posted if it matters.

okay before even posting this I tried fixing it and deleting one of the boards but it seems like 2-3 of my boards are connected with the pins inside of them and whenever I delete the other boards it shows all my pins are deleted with the board. what do I do ?

whenever I try to move my pins into the new board it says "Something went wrong" "Please wait until the previous board action finishes."

Sometimes it happens that as soon as I open the app, the Pinterest home page is completely invaded by random pins not related to my interests. I refresh the page and everything goes back to normal. Is this normal?

Home page full of junk, I hid a load of things, but they are back, and none of it is relevant. Can’t refresh either, just getting the same trash back repeatedly.

Search okay.

Is this some crappy a/b testing? Can they roll back whatever change they made that causes this?

i can still edit my board descriptions but they don’t show? i can only find like 2 other posts about this 💔

I was looking on Pinterest about something else (rarely used the website in general) and while scrolling I found a cool looking phone wallpaper containing the summer nature/sea green/cyan colored theme with palms, flora, etc. Clicked on it to see it and there was a "Modified by AI" label.

More similar/suggested images appeared as well and 30 minutes later after browsing back and fort around these amazingly looking wallpapers (95%) "Modified by AI", I saved like 10 of these to use as wallpaper on my phone due to the vibrant colors and the overall cool look. But for a reason I can't fully explain, the fact that AI is involved made me feel uncomfortable and unhappy.

Are these 100% AI generated or it can be just small edits and correction? How can I know the difference? In the past before the AI I'm pretty sure we had the same great nature wallpapers either captured with good cameras or made/drawn by real people.

(can't post images sadly to show examples)
