On some Pins, you’ll see View similar products, that you can tap to view the shoppable product categories within the image. People on Pinterest can use this feature to identify and shop for visually similar products by tapping on the labels and dots that appear on the Pin.

If you do not want these labels and white dots, which serve as visual search suggestions, to appear on Pins that you’ve created, you can opt out on individual Pins or all of your published Pins, as well as any Pin associated with your claimed domain. Your settings only apply to Pins that you’ve created, and updating your settings will not stop you from seeing visual search suggestions on Pins that have been created by someone else (this includes your saved Pins).
