Is Pinterest automatically refreshing or reloading the feed?
Pinterest reloads the feed automatically to show you new pins.
However, this may be quite annoying if you wanted to view a good pin that you liked but is no longer available since Pinterest has refreshed the page.
In this article, you’ll discover whether it is possible to stop Pinterest from refreshing. You’ll also learn how to view recently viewed pins on Pinterest.
How to Stop Pinterest From Refreshing?
Unfortunately, you cannot stop Pinterest from refreshing. However, if you have opened a pin and want to view it again, you can access it from your Pinterest history.
You’ll see your home feed when you first open the Pinterest app.
You’ll see various pins suggested to you by Pinterest based on your previous search history and the people you follow on Pinterest in this home feed.
If you scroll to the home feed and then scroll back up, Pinterest will refresh the page.
At the bottom of the page, there is a menu. The “Home” icon is selected by default.
However, if you hit the other option on the bottom menu and return to your home page, Pinterest will immediately refresh the feed.
So, is there a way to stop Pinterest from refreshing the page?
No!
Pinterest does this to keep you on the platform for a longer period of time by showing you new pins.
So, the next time you see a pin you like, simply tap on it to open it. This adds the pin to your Pinterest history.
You may then go to Pinterest history and look for the pin there.
Viewing your Pinterest History
You may revisit a pin that you previously viewed by going to your Pinterest History.
However, if you are using the Pinterest app, you will be unable to open the pins from your Pinterest history. You can only view the pin preview.
If you want to open the pin, you’ll have to use Pinterest on your desktop browser. Read this article.
