The answer is yes, you can. Pinterest gives users the option to take a break from Pinterest without shutting down their accounts permanently. Essentially, this action ensure that nobody can see your Pins and your profile. You also lose any links to YouTube, Etsy, Instagram, and every other associated platform. Conveniently, the “Deactivate Account” option sits right above the “Delete account” no matter the device. Pinterest will prompt you to leave a reason why you’re deactivating your account, and that’s it. You can go lower back and activate your account at any time by by simply signing in with your information.
