    How to Delete Pinterest Messages on PC

    As mentioned above, the option to delete messages on Pinterest is no longer available and you can only delete messages if you are using an older version of the mobile app. Since on PC, you can only have the updated version, you will have the option to hide the messages instead of deleting them.

    1. Visit the Pinterest website and log in using your credentials.
    2. Navigate to your inbox and then hover your mouse on the message you wish to delete. A small “X” will appear.

    How to Hide Pinterest Messages (PC and Mobile App)

    If you are using the new, upgraded version of Pinterest, you will have the option to hide the messages instead of deleting them. The method to hide the messages differs for PC and mobile app.

    Here are the instructions to hide Pinterest messages on a PC:

    1. Visit the Pinterest website and log in using your credentials.
    2. Look for the message icon on the top right corner and click on Inbox.

    Can I Delete Message Conversation on Pinterest 2022

    No. You can no longer delete message conversations on Pinterest. This is because Pinterest has removed this option with an update. This means if you are using the latest/upgraded version of Pinterest on your phone, you won’t be able to delete message conversations.

    On PC, you always have the latest version so deleting a message conversation from there is not possible either. The only way you can delete messages on Pinterest 2022 is if you are using an older version of the mobile app.

    How to Delete Conversations on Pinterest in Previous Version

    As mentioned above, you can now only delete conversations on Pinterest if you are using an older/previous version. Pinterest removed the message delete functionality with an update in March 2022. So, if you wish to delete messages, you will have to install a version that was released before this date. On the older version, the method to delete conversations is as follows:

    1. Launch the Pinterest app on your smartphone and open the Messages section.
    2. Find and open the conversation that you wish to delete.
    3. Tap the three dots icon to open a drop-down menu.
    4. From that menu, tap on the Delete option to delete the conversation.
