All About Pinterest

Anyone who visits Pinterest can quickly see that it is different from other social media apps. Instead of focusing on other people’s likes, this app allows users to celebrate their own interests. Created in 2010 by a man with a fondness for collecting, the app is now available to anyone over the age of thirteen. In 2022, Pinterest became the third most popular social media app in the United States, with 40 percent of teens using it to organize and display photos, artwork, and more. Part of the All About Social Media series, All About Pinterest shares the history, uses, and features of this interest-based social media platform.
