The Pinterest widget is currently available for iOS devices. To add a Pinterest widget, your device must be updated to iOS 14 or newer.

Add a Pinterest widget to your iOS device to stay inspired and see your favorite Pins at a glance, without needing to open the Pinterest app. 

You can add two different types of Pinterest widgets to your home screen:

  • A boards widget displays Pins saved to a particular board. You can choose to display Pins from your own board or from a board created by a Pinner you follow.
  • An interests widget displays Pins based on a topic you’re interested in. You can choose from interests including home decor, inspirational quotes, beauty, food and fashion.
