All my friends and board collaborators on Pinterest are all over 16 as well, yet our shared boards are lost. This is ridiculous, I am now 16 turning 17 and have had over half my boards, most I use for school, disabled.

But they recently put in place a new policy meaning that all users under the age of 16’s account is made private and all boards shared with under 16’s will be disabled until all collaborators are 16. I have been using Pinterest since I was 12 and absolutely love it.

I will continue to support the app but this change is disappointing.

I urge to you remove the update and keep private account and option. The update may have had good intentions but the functionality of Pinterest is now broken. I also have looked up to see if anyone else is having difficulties and are unimpressed, there is quite a lot. My girlfriend and I have board for each other that we can look at but now she is no longer able to view my account! This is really heartbreaking as our first way of communicating our feelings was through our pins we had saved and sent to each other. I am particularly annoyed with the restriction and the accounts being made private as some people are no longer able to see my acc at all. This is not necessary for Pinterest to do as I believe it is such a safe space already. recently there is a new update for accounts under 16 years old are to be made private and some boards disabled. Pinterest is perfect! However I have one problem. It is my favourite app and I just love finding exactly what I am looking for whenever I need it.
