Following people on Pinterest

As Pinterest continues to grow, more and more people are creating interesting, beautiful, and inspiring pinboards. It won't be long before you start to find other Pinterest users you'll want to follow, even if you don't know them in real life! It's easy to follow different pinners and individual pinboards.

To follow a pinner:

There are two ways to start following a pinner:

To follow a pinboard:

Pinterest users save a diverse mix of pins on a variety of topics. Sometimes you may find that you only want to follow certain pinboards from a pinner instead of following all of that person's pins.

  • While viewing a pin, locate the Pinned onto the board section at the bottom of the pin, which notes where the pin is saved. Click the Follow button Follow Button to start following pins from this pinboard.
