Pinterest Adds More Transparency for Users at Feed and Pin Level

Pinners will get a better understanding of why they see certain content

Pinterest is giving its users a clearer picture of why they are seeing the Pins that show up in their home feeds.

Two features are rolling out Tuesday: a home feed tuner and Pin-level edit options and controls.

Pinterest said in a blog post Tuesday that its top requests from Pinners include more control over what they see in their home feeds and better ways to train its algorithms to understand what they like and don’t like, adding that the two new features will enable them to easily see boards, topics, followed accounts and recent history, all of which contribute to their recommendations.

Early testing of the features resulted in complains declining by over 50%, according to Pinterest.
