Pinterest outages and problems
In the past 24 hours, 4 user reports came in for Pinterest. Counting only the 15-minute windows with a spike big enough to count as an outage, that comes to 100.00% uptime for the day.
The busiest 15-minute window had 1 report, about 21 hours ago. That stays below our outage threshold, so it doesn't count as downtime.

How to fix Pinterest not working
Pinterest is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Read the live numbers first
The header reads operational with 100.00% uptime over the past 24 hours, and 4 reports landed inside that same window. Anyone asking 'is Pinterest down right now' or checking 'Pinterest server status' can lean on that crowd data, because more than 24 hours ago has passed since the last confirmed incident, which makes a server-side collapse far less likely than a problem on your device. One broken phone is not an outage.
Clear the app cache when boards go blank
Blank boards and an upload frozen at 90 percent are cache problems, and most 'Pinterest not working today' reports trace back to that. On Android, open Settings, tap Apps, pick Pinterest, then Storage, then Clear cache. iOS hides that button. Offload the app under Settings, General, iPhone Storage and reinstall it, since your boards live on Pinterest's servers and nothing on your phone gets erased.
Detectors lie during partial failures
A Pinterest down detector only counts people who file reports, so treat a flat graph with care during a partial failure. Detectors mislead. If the graph stays quiet while your app still hangs, weigh it against our 4 figure and the operational flag; a quiet graph plus a green flag puts the fault on your end. Searches for 'Pinterest outage today 2026' spike in these windows because the feed loads while logins and Pin saves fail, and that gap makes 'is Pinterest down' hard to answer from any single screenshot.
Flush DNS when only the website fails
The app loads on mobile data but pinterest.com refuses to load on Wi-Fi: that pattern points at DNS. Flush it. On Windows, run ipconfig /flushdns from Command Prompt; on a Mac, run sudo dscacheutil -flushcache in Terminal. Switching your router DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 clears the stubborn cases, and if you want a second opinion on 'is Pinterest working' or 'Pinterest network status', load pinterest.com from another device on the same network before you blame your router.

Pinterest on iPhone and iPad
- Fix
- Update the Pinterest app via the App Store and verify your internet connection. If Pinterest keeps crashing, reinstall the app from your iOS settings.
- Check
- Determine if Pinterest is down by opening the Safari browser and trying to load the website. If the site works, the issue is isolated to the iOS app.
What happens when Pinterest goes down
Pinterest is the pinboard app where you collect recipes, room ideas, tattoos, and gift lists on boards you come back to for months. Downtime kills that scroll. If you searched is Pinterest down right now or is Pinterest working, this page answers both from live checks: status is operational, uptime over the last 24 hours sits at 100.00%.
When Pinterest goes down, boards refuse to load, the search grid comes back blank, the save button spins forever, and the app sometimes dumps you back at the login screen. The website and mobile app fail together. Our Pinterest down detector chart has logged 4 reports in the last 24 hours, and the most recent full outage landed more than 24 hours ago.

Checked from our server in Frankfurt, Germany, 3 days ago, for www.pinterest.com. A service behind a CDN answers from many data centres, usually the one nearest to you, so these addresses are where its traffic enters, not where its own servers stand. Visitors elsewhere may see different addresses.
Checked from 12 places around the world
10 of 12 locations got an answer from www.pinterest.com. Los Angeles got no answer (connection timed out). Some sites drop automated checks from particular data-centre servers, so this alone doesn't mean people in Los Angeles can't reach it; the live reports above show what users see. Fastest from Madrid (211 ms), slowest from Frankfurt (8,310 ms). The answers came through 2 networks: Akamai Technologies, Inc. (AS16625) and Fastly, Inc. (AS54113).

How we track Pinterest
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Pinterest, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Pinterest, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Pinterest's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
