Hide Pinterst Activity On Facebook and Useful Tips For Pinterst on line



1)      Edit Your Settings

        If you've enabled Facebook to auto-post your Pinterest activity, it's easy to change your Pinterest account settings.
Just hover over your name on the top-right of the screen. Select "Settings" from the menu that appears.

2)   Change Facebook Timeline Settings

Now, scroll down until you see the Facebook settings section.
Where is reads "Add Pinterest to Facebook Timeline," select "Off."
You have now stopped Pinterest from automatically posting to Facebook.

3)    Change the App Settings

Alternatively, you can edit the settings of the Pinterest Facebook app so that it only shows your Pinterest content to certain people -- either individuals or lists you have created.
To set this up, click the drop-down menu at the top-right of your Facebook homepage.
Choose "Account Settings," then "Apps" on the left hand-side of your display.
Scroll down your apps list until you see Pinterest. Once you click it, you'll see the "Posts on your behalf" section.

4)   The Pinterest App

If you now select "Custom," you can manually enter names of people you know would like to see your Pinterest content, or enter the name of a pre-made list.
You can also select people you'd like to hide your Pinterest content from by entering their names in the "Hide this from" box.
A little lower down, next to where it reads "Who can see posts this app makes for you on your Facebook timeline?" click on the "Friends" box.


5) Opt in to Manually Send to Facebook

Even if you have stopped auto-sharing to Facebook from your Pinterest account, you can still send the occasional Pinterest post to Facebook.To do this, simply tick the "Facebook" box as you use the Pinterest bookmarklet tool.


6) Share to Facebook

Or hit the "Share to Facebook" option after you've clicked on the "Pin It" button.
This also gives you more options, such as the ability to create the custom privacy options we outlined in slide four.

7) Mute Certain Facebook Users

If Pinterest isn't a huge issue in your feed in general, but there are a few people who post excessively, you can "mute" those loud few, rather than stop seeing Pinterest content altogether.
To stop seeing Pinterest content from one contact, find a recent Pinterest-related post from that person and click on the small drop-down arrow on the top-right.
Select "Unsubscribe from activity stories/music and videos (this changes dependant on the nature of the content) by NAME" and those kind of posts will not appear in your stream in the future.
