Is it Possible to Recover Deleted Pinterest Board?

If you have manually deleted a Pinterest board, you might have glimpsed the statement, “you won’t be able to get it back.” You would have seen this notice not once but twice before you deleted a Pinterest board.

That statement undoubtedly indicates that you will not be able to recover the deleted Pinterest board.

Additionally, in case you haven’t scanned the Pinterest support center, this is the statement that you’ll find mentioned there “…deleted pins or board cannot be recovered.”

Hence, considering all these clear notes, the answer to your question is no. As of now, it isn’t possible to recover the deleted Pinterest board.

We understand this isn’t the solution or response you desired for. Unfortunately, there is no other option.

However, if you did not delete the Pinterest board manually, and it disappeared automatically from your account, there are some steps you can take from your end to recover those missing boards.

As the Pinterest boards are missing, you might think that you’re the one who deleted them accidentally. But most Pinterest users report saying that their boards are disappearing from their saved section.

Hence, if you deleted a Pinterest board manually, we are sorry to say this; you cannot recover it. However, if a board is missing, some methods could probably help you. In the proceeding sections, we will discuss in detail the ways to recover the missing or lost boards on Pinterest.

How to Recover Deleted Pinterest Board

1. Use Backup

Many Pinterest users share the links of the backups over emails and social media. These links can be your backup for retrieving the missing boards. In order to bring the deleted pins back, check your emails or social media to find the link to the boards.

As you open those links, you will get a message that reads “the board you’re trying to access is deleted”. Just below this message, you will find a restore button. From here, you can restore the Pinterest board.

2. Use Different Pinterest Accounts

If you don’t remember deleting the Pinterest boards, then there is a good chance you have logged into a different Pinterest account. If that’s the reason why your Pinterest board is missing or it looks different, worries not! You can use your email to log into different Pinterest accounts until you find the right one.

3. Get Your Group Board Back

If you had joined a group board and now you can’t find the board anymore on your dashboard, then the group admin must have removed you or you must have removed yourself. You can request the admin to add you again so that you can find the group board.

Here’s how you can:

• Find the board that you’d like to join.
• Tap on the “Request to join” button.
• Once your request gets approved, you’ll receive a push notification.
• Now you can access the group board.

Final Words:

If none of these methods work, then try searching for a cached copy. Your last resort is the data recovery software. They may or may not work, but there’s nothing wrong with giving these software applications a try.

Pinterest has announced a slew of new tools designed to help users organize their pins and boards.

First up, a new archiving option lets you file a board away for posterity. This feature serves a number of purposes — for example, you may wish to revisit an old board you’ve created if it pertains to a meaningful life event, such as a birth or a wedding, but you don’t want it cluttering up your main dashboard.

At the same time, you might get tired of Pinterest recommending items related to the board, such as flowers or dresses. So archiving a board effectively kills two birds with one stone: You can now focus on relevant boards without being inundated with irrelevant alerts and notifications.

You may also remember that Pinterest launched a new “sections” feature back in November that allows you to divide a board into, well, sections based on distinct themes. Now Pinterest will let users switch those sections around. Additionally, Pinterest is expanding this functionality to Pins, which you can now move around the board.

Pinterest announced it had 200 million users back in September, having maintained a growth rate of roughly 50 million new users per year. As with other tech companies, Pinterest has been doubling down on its artificial intelligence efforts, including adding computer vision search tools, Facebook Messenger bots, and deep learning to recommend related Pins. These latest updates feed into Pinterest’s broader AI push, given that it uses the content of boards as one of its main sources for making recommendations.

By affording users new ways to tailor and customize their boards, Pinterest should be able to garner more juicy data to feed back into its machine learning algorithms.

The features are rolling out from tomorrow on Android, iOS, and Pinterest’s web interface.
