If you haven’t pinpointed the reason as to why Pinterest is not working on your iPhone, I recommend deleting the app and reinstalling it fresh from the App Store.
5. Turn off Background App Refresh
Even when you close Pinterest (among other apps), it continues to refresh in the background to ensure it remains stocked with the latest data for you to browse. Turning off Background App Refresh can help you fix this problem. Disabling this feature can also help extend the battery life of your device and reduce data consumption. With that said, you may notice a slight delay when your iPhone or iPad loads new media like photos or videos in apps.
6. Disable Location Services
Try turning off Location Services as well. It’s yet another power-hungry feature that puts a lot of pressure on the battery. This is more of a niche fix, but some users have reported success using it: Open Settings → Privacy → Location Services → Turn off the toggle. Note: Location Services are essential for many useful apps like Uber, Weather, etc. So, once your Pinterest app starts working, follow the same steps to re-enable location services.
7. Update your iPhone or iPad
