Get inspired with the new Pinterest iOS 14 widget

If you’re an iPhone owner, chances are you’ve had the chance to start customizing your home screen with the new widgets that are part of iOS 14. Now, you can add your very own Pinterest widget so you can enjoy a daily dose of inspiration right from your home screen. This simple step-by-step guide will show you how.

A new way to get inspiration

Imagine waking up everyday to your favorite motivational quote or traveling the world through your travel board. With the new Pinterest iOS 14 widget, you can quickly access your favorite board or pick and choose which board you’d like to be featured to match your new home screen’s aesthetic. You can choose between a small or a large widget, pick your favorite board you follow and select if you’d like the featured Pin to change hourly or daily. Just make sure you’ve updated your Pinterest app to the latest version (8.39 and above), and you’ll be on your way to getting it set up in no time.

Adding the Pinterest iOS 14 widget to your home feed

To add the new Pinterest widget to your home screen, press and hold anywhere on your screen until your apps start to wiggle. If you’ve updated your phone to iOS 14, you should see a “+” icon in the top left corner. Click it and an option to search for widgets should appear. Type “Pinterest” into the search bar and the app should appear. Click the icon and then select the “Add widget” option at the bottom of the screen. Your new widget will automatically appear on your home screen.

How to customize your Pinterest widget

Now that you have the widget on your home screen, it’s time to customize it to your liking. To start, click and hold on the widget until a drop down menu appears. The first option should be “Edit Widget”. Click there, then you’ll be directed to an overview screen that will allow you to customize how your widget looks. You choose from any of your own boards or a board from one of your favorite creators that you follow. Once you’ve chosen the board you’d like to display, you can choose for Pins to alternate hourly or daily depending on your preference. Once you’ve selected your settings, simply click out of the widget and voilà! Your new widget will automatically display the Pins from your favorite Pinterest board.
We hope the new Pinterest iOS 14 widget brings you a little bit of inspiration every time you look at your phone!
