Pinterest is a great place to find inspiration and create a mood board through Pins. The best way for Pinterest users to collect their inspiration is by saving their pins on related boards.
However, there may be instances where you might accidentally hide a pin or decide later that you want to get back something you previously hid.
But luckily, there are various methods for unhiding pins! With that said, here’s a simple, easy-to-follow guide on how to bring back those hidden gems and make sure you keep all your favorite pins visible.

Why Do Pins Get Hidden?
Before you decide to unhide pins, let’s look at why a pin image gets hidden in the first place. There are a few common reasons:
- We accidentally hide them! We all click the wrong button now and then and it could be one of the common reasons.
- You might hide a pin if it doesn’t quite match your taste or aesthetic anymore.
- You may want to hide a type of content that is offensive to you or you do not agree with.
You can hide individual Pins from your home feed or unfollow the board, topic, or account that the Pin came from. This helps Pinterest understand the kinds of Pins you do or don’t want to see.
How to Unhide Hidden Pins
There are several ways to unhide or find your hidden Pinterest Pins.
If you accidentally hide a Pinterest pin from your Pinterest feed, it will not disappear immediately. Just click Undo to see the Pin in your home feed again. This method works on both the desktop version of Pinterest and mobile app.
Another reason why you can’t find your pins is that they may be saved to secret boards. Your secret boards and pins can be found at the bottom of your profile – specifically on your Pinterest boards tab.
Another way to find your hidden pins is by searching the keywords you are looking for in the search bar and going through the search results until you see the hidden pin appear.
If all else fails, you can always reach out to Pinterest’s support team for help. They’re there to assist with issues like these, especially if the pin is important and you can’t seem to get it back any other way.
Just make sure that you have not deleted the pins!
Helpful Tips to Avoid Accidentally Hiding Pins
Now that you know how to unhide pins, here are some tips to avoid hiding them by mistake in the future.
- Always be sure you want to hide a pin before doing it, so you don’t lose anything important.
- Instead of hiding pins as a way to clean up, create specific boards for things you’re unsure about or want to revisit later. For example, a “Maybe Later” board is a perfect spot for pins you’re not ready to delete but don’t need front and center.
- If you come across a pin that’s especially valuable, consider bookmarking it in your browser, so you have another way to get back to it even if it’s hidden or deleted on Pinterest.
Hide a Pin in your home feed
If you are curious about how you can manually hide pins for content that you do not want to see, then here is how you can do it:

- From your home feed, click the ellipsis icon in the bottom-right corner of the Pin you want to hide
