How to Share WhatsApp Messages on Pinterest Boards

Pinterest is a popular social media platform that allows users to share and discover visual content. While it primarily focuses on images, you can also share WhatsApp messages on Pinterest boards. This can be a useful feature for sharing funny conversations, important reminders, or any other WhatsApp messages you want to showcase with a wider audience.

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of sharing WhatsApp messages on Pinterest boards. Follow the steps below to get started:

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • A smartphone or tablet with WhatsApp installed
  • An active Pinterest account

Step 1: Take a Screenshot of the WhatsApp Message

To share a WhatsApp message on Pinterest, you first need to take a screenshot of the message you want to share. Here's how you can do it on different devices:

iPhone or iPad

  1. Open WhatsApp and navigate to the conversation containing the message you want to share.
  2. Press the Sleep/Wake button (located on the side or top of your device) simultaneously with the Home button.

Android

  1. Open WhatsApp and go to the conversation you wish to share.
  2. Press the Power button and the Volume Down button simultaneously until you hear a shutter sound or see a visual indication.

Step 2: Save the Screenshot

After taking a screenshot, you need to save it to your device. The process may vary slightly depending on your device's operating system. Here are the general steps:

iPhone or iPad

  1. After taking the screenshot, it will appear as a thumbnail preview in the bottom left corner of the screen. Tap on it.
  2. From the preview screen, tap the "Done" button in the upper-right corner.
  3. Select "Save to Photos" to save the screenshot to your device's photo library.

Android

  1. After taking the screenshot, you may receive a notification with a preview. Tap on it.
  2. If no notification appears, go to your device's Gallery or Photos app.
  3. Find the screenshot and tap the "Save" or "Download" button to save it to your device.

Step 3: Open Pinterest and Create a New Board

Now that you have the screenshot saved, let's move on to Pinterest. If you already have a relevant board, you can skip this step and proceed to Step 4. Otherwise, follow these instructions to create a new board:

  1. Open the Pinterest app on your smartphone or tablet.
  2. Tap on your profile icon, usually located at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
  3. Tap the "Add" button represented by a plus icon (+).
  4. Choose "Create board" from the options.
  5. Enter a name for your board and select a category (optional).
  6. Tap "Done" to create the board.

Step 4: Upload the Screenshot to Pinterest

With your board ready, it's time to upload the WhatsApp message screenshot to Pinterest. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Pinterest app and go to your profile.
  2. Tap on the board you want to upload the screenshot to.
  3. Tap the "+" button located at the bottom-center of the screen.
  4. Choose "Upload a Pin" from the options.
  5. Select the screenshot you saved earlier from your device's photo library.
  6. Crop or edit the screenshot (if desired), and tap "Next" to proceed.
  7. Add a title or description to the pin. You can also include relevant tags if you wish to make it more discoverable.
  8. Tap "Save" to upload the screenshot to your board.

Step 5: Customize the Pin (Optional)

Once the WhatsApp message screenshot is uploaded, you may want to customize the pin to make it more appealing. Pinterest provides several customization options. Here's how you can explore them:

  1. Open the Pinterest app and go to your profile.
  2. Tap on the board where you uploaded the screenshot.
  3. Tap the pin containing the WhatsApp message.
  4. Tap the three-dot icon (⋮) located in the top-right corner of the screen.
  5. From the options, choose "Edit" to access customization settings.
  6. You can change the pin's description, add relevant links, or even change the pin's cover image.
  7. Once you're satisfied with the changes, tap "Save" to update the pin.

And that's it! You have successfully shared a WhatsApp message on Pinterest. Now, anyone visiting your board will be able to view and engage with the WhatsApp message. Remember to respect privacy and get permission from others before sharing their messages.
