5 Ways to Fix Pinterest App Not Working on iPhone

Update the Pinterest App

• 💡 Update the Pinterest app by searching for it in the App Store and checking for an available update, even if it shows 'Open'.

Manage App Permissions

• ⚙️ Navigate to Settings > Apps > Pinterest to review and enable all necessary permissions.
• 📸 Ensure Photos are set to Full Access for optimal app functionality.
• 🌐 Enable Background App Refresh and Mobile Data for timely notifications and proper operation, especially without Wi-Fi.

Restart Your iPhone

• 🔄 A simple restart can resolve many app issues. Press and hold the power button with a volume button, slide to power off, wait 10-15 seconds, then press and hold the power button until the Apple logo appears.

Reinstall Pinterest App

• ⚠️ Before reinstalling, verify your Pinterest account password is saved in your iPhone's Passwords app or that you know it to avoid losing access.
• 🗑️ To reinstall, remove the Pinterest app (Settings > Apps > Pinterest > Remove App > Delete App), then search for and download it again from the App Store.

Free Up iPhone Storage

• 💾 Insufficient storage can cause apps to malfunction. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage to check available space.
• 🧹 Offload or delete unused apps to free up space. Offloading keeps data, while deleting removes the app entirely.
• 🖼️ Consider deleting unneeded photos and videos, especially large video files, to reclaim significant storage.
• 🗑️ To immediately free up space from deleted items, go to Recently Deleted (in Photos or via iPhone Storage settings) and permanently delete them.
• 🔄 If storage was freed up, restart your iPhone again to ensure the changes are recognized.

Last Resort: Server Issues or Updates

• ⏳ If none of the above steps work, the issue might be with Pinterest's servers or a pending app update. Check the App Store for new updates or wait a few hours for potential server issues to resolve.
