Pinterest Tests New Look with Bigger Pins, More Image Details
Pinterest has said it is testing a new
design of its website among a small number of users. The new design is
said to make things easier to find on the site.
Pinterest
is also working to improve a few key elements including making
navigation intuitive and faster. Pins will appear larger and feature
more image details. The new design will also bring a new related pins
side bar, which is supposed to make user stay longer on the site and
click through other boards. There will be a new grey gradient background
behind all the pins.
“We’ll preview the update with a small
group of people over the coming weeks. Once we work out the kinks, we’ll
share it more broadly. In the meantime, if you’re interested in being
one of the first to see the new look, send us your information,” says Vy
Phan, Software Engineer at Pinterest in a blog post.
Pinterest Updates its Android App, Now Shows Bigger Images
Pinterest on Friday released an update to its Android app on Google Play store. The update shows tall images bigger, and includes new boards that show where a pin has been repinned, simplifies pining content from external sites, and adds a number of fixes.
Pinterest's update to its Android app comes shortly after the company updated its iOS app, adding support for the latest iPhone 5 and new features such as support for pinning directly from the camera or Photo library on the iPad. The company had released its iPad and Android apps in August this year, alongside an updated v2.0 for the iPhone. Pinterest also opened up its service to the public, after keeping it as 'invite-only' for a while.
