Pinterest 12+

I have LOVED pinterest for years and have used it everyday. It is probably the app that I spend the most time on when I’m on my phone. However, I ran into the problem today. About 40 minutes before this happened, I was on pinterest and there was not a single problem. After the 40 minutes passed, I went to check on how my posts were doing. when I clicked on the app, it brought me straight to the log in or sign up page (I always stay logged in so this was really weird). I didn’t think much of it until I tried to log in. It stated that my account was deactivated. It also stated possible reasons why this may have happened. None of those reasons were something that have happened on my account. Let me remind you how much I have on this app. The thing is, when you are setting up your account, you are supposed to put in your real email (but I did not). I didn’t do this because on my previous account I did use it but it wouldn’t let me log in. so I created a new account which is the one I just had this problem on. The reason I am talking about not using my real email on this account is because pinterest stated that it had emailed me and I could contact that if I needed to. So I did not get an email on my real account. I also tried to create a new account but that did not work. I also tried filling a form out trying to get my account back but so far, I haven’t had much luck. I was completely unaware that this was able to happen.

I’ve been using Pinterest since 2015. I absolutely love every new update y’all create, it makes Pinterest such a wonderful, clean, and creative community. I myself create idea pins, and my tiny creations have reached thousands of people! But this new update it’s getting hard to work with. Me, along with some other Pinterest users, are finding it hard to keep up with the story pins of accounts we follow. When you had the idea pins at the top of the home page, it was great to know which accounts were actively publishing content. I do think that with this update, I have been scrolling a lot more on Pinterest and finding new inspiration but many of my followers can’t find my story pins and same with me! I love Pinterest and I’m going to keep using it however it’s frustrating when I create pins that used to get 1.2k views and now my pins get 196… idk if you’ll even see this or do this but I have a few suggestions. Maybe as we scroll, you can come across the profile of a person you follow as it’s own pin- that way people will know that account has new content. Or go back to have the little circles at the top of the homepage, but only put the accounts with the most recent posts. Then you would have to scroll and come across older posts. Idk if this is even possible, but I thought I might as well try 😁 anyways thank you all for so much you do and always sparking my creativity :)
