Pinterest experiments with a News feed in its iOS app

Pinterest is experimenting with a ‘News‘ feed in its iOS app. This list is a feed of Facebook friends’ activity, as well as the Pinners and boards you follow.

The idea behind the News feed is to let you see what other people are pinning, and perhaps allow you to discover more through the app. While this means that your activity may appear on friends’ news feeds, the things you pin to secret boards will of course not. Only the things you pin publicly will be available in the News feed.

Pinterest is testing this feature, which is why it hasn’t been rolled out to other platforms yet, and will continue to do so for the next few weeks. The company is asking for feedback from users during this time.
