To remove pins from your Pinterest home feed, you need to hide them individually as they appear. This action tells Pinterest you're not interested in that specific pin or similar content, helping to refine your future recommendations.
Step-by-Step Guide to Hiding a Pin
Hiding a pin is the primary way to remove it from your view on the home feed. Follow these simple steps:
- Open the Pinterest app on your mobile device and ensure you are logged into your Pinterest account.
- Browse your home feed until you find the Pin you wish to remove (hide).
- Tap the ellipsis icon (...) located in the bottom-right corner of the specific Pin you want to hide.
- From the options that appear, tap Hide Pin.
- Pinterest will then ask you to select a reason for hiding the Pin. Choose the reason that best explains why you don't want to see it (e.g., "This isn't relevant," "I've already seen this," "I don't like this Pin," etc.). Selecting a reason helps Pinterest improve your feed suggestions.
What Happens When You Hide a Pin?
When you hide a Pin using this method:
- The Pin is immediately removed from your current view on the home feed.
- Pinterest uses your feedback (the reason you selected) to understand your preferences better and potentially show you less of similar content in the future.
- This action does not delete the Pin from Pinterest entirely; it simply removes it from your personalized feed.
Hiding pins is an effective way to curate your home feed and ensure the content you see is more relevant and interesting to you.
