We all know Pinterest is an excellent platform to view and upload photos of multiple genres and branding. But, the platform doesn’t limit itself within that and allows followers to make personal conversations by sending private messages on Pinterest. Due to this, Pinterest users send wrong messages or make typos in professional texts. At such times, they look for the Delete option to remove them, just like how they delete messages on WhatsApp and Instagram. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to delete messages on Pinterest as the developers removed the option. But, still, you can hide a Pinterest message that needs to be confidential or deleted.
