How to Remove Myself from a Shared Pinterest Board
If you’re a member of a shared Pinterest board and no longer wish to be part of it, there are several steps you can follow to remove yourself. Whether you’ve changed your interests, prefer to have your own boards, or simply want to declutter your Pinterest experience, this guide will walk you through the process of removing yourself from a shared Pinterest board. Let’s dive in.
Step 1: Log in to Pinterest
The first step is to log in to your Pinterest account. If you haven’t already, visit the Pinterest website or open the Pinterest app on your device. Enter your username and password to access your account.
Step 2: Navigate to the Shared Board
Once you’re logged in, locate the shared board you want to leave. This can be done by clicking on the “Boards” tab at the top of the page or the “Boards” icon in the app. Scroll through your boards or use the search bar to find the shared board you wish to remove yourself from.
Step 3: Access Board Settings
To remove yourself from the shared board, you need to access the board settings. On the web, hover over the shared board and click on the three dots (also known as the “More” option) that appear next to the board’s name. On the app, tap on the board’s name and then select “Board Settings” from the menu.
Step 4: Leave the Board
In the board settings, you will find an option to leave the board. On the web, it’s typically labeled “Leave board.” Click on this option to remove yourself from the shared board. In the app, you may need to scroll down to find the “Leave board” option.
Step 5: Confirm Your Decision
After selecting “Leave board,” you may be prompted to confirm your decision. Click “Yes” or “Confirm” to proceed. This will finalize your removal from the shared board.
Step 6: Review Your Changes
Once you’ve left the board, take a moment to review your Pinterest profile. You should no longer see the shared board in your list of boards, and any pins you contributed to the board should be removed from your profile.
By following these steps, you can successfully remove yourself from a shared Pinterest board. Remember, if you decide to rejoin the board in the future, you can always navigate back to the board settings and select “Join board” to become a member again.
