Pinterest is one of the most widely used social networking sites for sharing and discovering new ideas. It has about 175 million monthly active users and legions of devoted followers who pin their favorite outfits, recipes, homewares, and other products. However, it is not anything like anyone else.

It’s also a massive opportunity for companies and brands looking to create a loyal following and drive targeted traffic to their website. As a result, using Pinterest for business can be a fantastic idea for marketers.

However, the majority of people are likely unaware of Pinterest’s secret features and cool tricks. Pinterest has made a variety of improvements and updates in the last few months – no big redesigns or ad implementations that we anticipated, but five that are worth noting.

Top Features Of Pinterest

People might be acquainted with the basic components that Pinterest provides us. However, some of the features of this social networking site still might not be clear to many. Well, in the below-mentioned list, we are going to uphold some of the best and unique features that you should definitely be aware of this year.

1.   Duplicate Pin Notifications

If you manage several boards, pages, and brands and can’t remember which cat picture you already pinned to one, this can be a lifesaver. Instead of opening another tab and digging through your previous pins, Pinterest will now give you a fast two-word time-saver about having already pinned that.

2.   Analytics

I’m hoping for more from this in the near future, but for now, Pinterest’s latest analytics are better than nothing. The number of pins and pinners are allowed to be monitored by the site owners, collecting material from their web pages, despite their simplicity. It also keeps track of those pins’ repinned and repins. Total impressions, distance, and referral traffic are all easily measured and displayed. Although this is useful for webmasters, you’ll still need to use third-party analytic tools to find powerful pinners, prominent boards, and highly engaged pins.

3.   Sharable Pins

Have you come across something on Pinterest that you think a friend or colleague would enjoy? You’ve struck it rich. You will now be able to share it with your Facebook friends, other Pinterest users, or email contacts by tapping the “send” button. Anything can be done through this, whether you want to share a lock, a board, or a profile.

4.   Mobile Notifications, Friend Mentions & Suggested Search Terms

Pinterest’s mobile features have been updated to include push alerts so you can monitor when you get replies or comments, which is useful if you’re handling pages in real-time. Additionally, you can now use the suggested search term function that was previously only available on the web edition, as well as mention friends from your computer. Pinterest seems to be a firm believer in the use of smartphones.

5.   Chrome Extension

As a frequent user of the Chrome browser, I appreciate that these chrome-specific buttons free up room on the bookmark bar, which is still crowded.

Final Thoughts

Well, now you have an entire overview of all features Pinterest has to offer. It is one of the most visited, exciting, and entertaining platforms present in the social media world today. When opposed to posts on other social media sites, Pinterest pins are virtually timeless. Pinterest outlasts all other social media sites in terms of longevity. Thus, you can understand the fact that the longest life for a piece of content is available only on Pinterest.
