What Happens When You Block Someone On Pinterest?
You wouldn’t want to vibe with everyone on Pinterest especially those who are spamming all over the platform or people who are pretending to be someone else.
In this case, Pinterest gives you an option to block people. When you block someone on Pinterest it will prevent the user from following your account.
Now this person will no longer be able to send you any messages or interact with any of your pins.
But wait there are still some things that this person is able to do.
When you block someone on any other social media platform they do not appear in your search results but that is not the case with Pinterest.
A blocked person can be searched and you can see his/her feed. If you have saved any pins from a blocked user they will still appear on your account and in your Pinterest boards.
But if you saved their pins why did you block them?
