Pinterest is looking to keep its users engaged in the site with a new private messaging feature integrated into the service. To access private messaging on Pinterest, users have to start a conversation by sending a Pin to another user that also comes with a message. You can then continue your conversation without using Pins after that. It is also possible to send group messages this way.
Pinterest is hoping this would help users plan events or other things in the future. “This is different from other messaging platforms because conversations are around a Pin and are focused on planning something for the future,” a spokesperson wrote in an email to press. It doesn’t really matter how you plan on using this feature but it would seem Pinterest just wants to make sure you stay engaged on their platform longer.

If you have been putting off migrating to Facebook’s Messenger app on your mobile device, you won’t be able to put it off much longer. Facebook is already cutting off access to messaging section on the main app. You are in the minority if you are still able to see the “Never mind” button on your app. Once you get completely cut off though, you will be able to see that you have messages but you will only be able to view them once you are in Messenger app or using the Web version of Facebook.
