In the vast digital realm of Pinterest, where visual inspiration abounds, you may occasionally encounter pins you no longer wish to keep. Whether it’s an outdated recipe, a design that no longer aligns with your aesthetic, or a simple change of heart, unpinning an item from your Pinterest boards can be a breeze.
Unsaving a pin is a quick and convenient way to declutter your Pinterest experience and keep your boards organized. It allows you to refine your collection, ensuring that it reflects your current interests and aspirations. By removing pins that no longer hold your attention, you make it easier to focus on the content that truly inspires and resonates with you.
Furthermore, unpinning also frees up valuable space on your boards. Pinterest’s algorithms favor boards with diverse content, which means that removing old or irrelevant pins can help boost the visibility of your remaining pins. Additionally, a well-curated board with high-quality pins is more likely to attract followers and engagement, enhancing your presence on the platform.
Access the “…” Menu
To access the “…” menu, simply hover your cursor over the Pin you want to unsave. A small gray menu will appear, with three dots (…) in the bottom right corner. Click on the dots to open the menu, and then select “Unsave” from the options that appear. The Pin will then be removed from your saved Pins.
Hover your cursor over the Pin you want to unsave
To begin, navigate to the Pinterest website or open the Pinterest app on your mobile device. Once you’re logged into your account, locate the Pin you wish to remove from your saved collection. Position your cursor directly over the Pin’s image, taking care not to touch any of the interactive elements such as the Pin title or description.
Click the “…” icon
As you hover over the Pin, a small menu bar will emerge. This menu bar contains various options for interacting with the Pin, including adding it to a board, editing it, or reporting it for inappropriate content. At the far right end of this menu bar, you will notice three vertically aligned dots, commonly known as the “more” or “ellipsis” icon. Click on this icon to reveal a drop-down menu.
Select “Unsave” from the drop-down menu
Upon clicking the ellipsis icon, a drop-down menu will appear. This menu offers additional actions you can perform on the Pin, including the option to unsave it. Scroll down the menu until you locate the “Unsave” option, typically near the bottom of the list. Click on “Unsave” to remove the Pin from your saved collection.
