Secret boards

Only you (and anyone you invite) can see your secret boards. On your home feed you may see suggestions for Pins based on your secret boards. These are only visible to you and can be used for inspiration to find more ideas. You must have at least one secret board for these suggested pins to appear.

If you want to make a new secret board, create a board and toggle Keep this board secret when you name the board.

When you save Pins to a secret board, the person you saved from will not get a notification and the Pin’s count will not increase.

When you save Pins from a secret board, we will not show the name of the person you saved it from on your new Pin.

If you want to share a secret board, you can invite friends to collaborate or make the board public.
