How to find saved Pins on Pinterest
On Pinterest, tap Saved in the bottom right corner: that's where your Pins and boards are, with the sections inside each board. Archived boards appear at the end of the list. A Pin's full step-by-step guide is usually on the original site.
Step by step
- On Pinterest, tap Saved, in the bottom right corner.
- Open the Boards tab and the project's board; its sections are inside it.
- Can't find the board? Scroll to the end: archived boards appear last.
Think about the project, not the object
A lamp might be in the “Living room renovation” board, not in a “Lighting” board. Remember what you were planning when you saved it: what you meant to do back then is usually the best clue.
In the Pins tab, you see all your saved Pins together, from newest to oldest. Use it when you don't remember the board.
The Pin and the original site
The Pin is the image you saved; the full step-by-step guide is usually on the site it links to. For measurements, ingredients or instructions, tap the Pin and open the site. If the site goes offline, the Pin stays, but the recipe doesn't come back with it.
Did the board disappear?
- Archived: it's at the end of the list of boards.
- Secret: only you and collaborators can see it; check that you're on the right account.
- Group board: if someone removed you from the board, it disappears from your profile.
To find it faster next time
When you save, write what it's for: “narrow shelf for the hallway”. The guide to boards and sections shows how to organize a project. For travel spots, sorting by city, neighborhood and reason also helps.
