If you are in need of fashion, hairstyle, accessories, and other inspirations, Pinterest is the app for you!
Pinterest is an amazing app that is available on iOS and Android devices. It allows people to share and create pictures and videos called “Pins” to inspire others and get inspired by other pins.
On October 8, 2008, Pinterest was founded by Ben Silbermann, Evan Sharp, and Paul Sciarra, but was not launched until March 2010. It was a remake of a previous and similar app called “Tote”, by the same founders. Tote was a virtual replacement for paper catalogs, but it struggled due to malfunctions with making mobile payments.
Following its launch, Pinterest broke a record at the time when it reached 10 million users, due to the hype of the app on the widely used iPhone. As of April 2023, Pinterest has a grand total of 463 million monthly active users around the world.
Pinterest is for everyone as it allows creators of many different aesthetics and ethnicities to share pins about themselves, for others like them. You can find indie, cottage-core, fairy-core, grunge, goth, coquette, and so many more aesthetics on the app.
The most popular social media platforms are Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok but the common issue amongst these platforms is the way they are misused. Facebook and Instagram were intended to be used for people to connect with friends and family along with making new connections. TikTok is also very similar but instead, it was mainly intended for children, but gained wide popularity during the quarantine in 2020, bringing many together through funny videos and creative dances. The apps instead are heavily used to bully others, spread false information, and sometimes spread violence and gore. There are many opinions and ideals shared amongst everyone about the dangers of using social media, but on Pinterest, those worries are not needed.
The app allows its users to create boards that can help them visually plan for their future or upcoming milestones happening in their life like prom, starting high school or college, dorm room setups, going to concerts, and just whatever. That is the beauty of Pinterest, the fact that you can find whatever it is you want inspiration for. The app does have its violence and sexual content filterings, meaning you cannot search for inappropriate things, although if you dig far enough you will probably be able to.
Pinterest is an app I believe everyone should check out, just to get inspiration and connect with others who share the same interests. On Pinterest you can find and create a community with others to spread your passion for fashion, cars, music, hair, and so much more!
The app’s average age group of users is 25 to 34 but can be used by ages as young as 9. As stated before the only violence or sexual violence that can be found on the app is if you are looking for it. Pinterest is a fun and interactive app that allows its users to create and share pins to inspire and get inspired. Pinterest is a wonderful app that is very safe to use and is intended to give people a safe platform where they can express their creativity with others. It may sound like an exaggeration, but when you find that specific pin or community of like-minded people, you will understand. Get Pinterest and relieve your stress!
