Pinterest is a social media platform that lets you pin your ideas. The posts on Pinterest include pictures, recipes, fashion and styling tips, and other ideas. Each post on Pinterest is known as a Pin, and there are over billions of pins on Pinterest. With a Pinterest account, you can see pins and save them on your boards. The app lets you choose the contents of your taste and recommends them to you as well. Furthermore, you can search for pins on the search bar to view more pins. The Pins may be images, videos, or products. If you are a Roku user and planning to view Pinterest on Roku, then here are the ways.
How to Get Pinterest on Roku
Pinterest has apps for Android and iOS devices. You can always access Pinterest without an app on your browser. In other words, we can access Pinterest on the web browsers of phones and PCs. However, when it comes to Roku, Pinterest doesn’t have an app. So we need to mirror our PCs and smartphones with Roku. Let’s learn more about the same.
