Pinterest Announces Themed Programming To Celebrate Pride Month

In recent news, Pinterest has announced that it will be implementing a new slate of themed programming for the upcoming Pride Month.

This theme will incorporate a number of exciting features, such as shopping spotlights, dedicated live streams, and a new collaboration with Sasha Colby, the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

It has been decided that Colby will be sharing exclusive content on the platform, along with a personalized and curated board, which will consist of a number of beauty-related advice and important tips.

The winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race is a long-time user of the platform and will be using Pride Month to highlight how the platform can ensure expression and positivity for all users.

The platform has also revealed that it will be joining hands with Tastemade for a number of new series. These will include creating videos to highlight LGBTQ+ businesses, drag artists, creators, and a lot more.

In addition, a range of relevant promotions will be hosted by Pinterest as well.

In an announcement made by the app, it talked about how it will be using its Today’s Inspirations section to allow users to discover ideas for wellness and self-expression.

Moreover, it will also be doing a separate feature on destinations that are friendly to people belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community.

Pinners can further explore the products being sold by brands that are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community in Canada, the US, the UK, Germany, Brazil, France, Italy, Mexico, Spain, and Australia.

Pinterest added that user interest in topics related to queer beauty and fashion, as well as gender expression, is exponentially rising.

Thus, the platform has revealed that people have been frequently searching for terms such as non-binary outfits, understanding gender, non-binary haircuts, etc.

Since the app hopes to be a home for inclusion and positivity, Pinterest announced it will be doing its best to showcase, highlight, and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community in many creative ways.

In other news, WhatsApp has come up with a new mini-site for its Security Hub, which will offer a complete overview of the many security and safety tools that are available in the app.

This has been done to allow users to better manage the safety of their WhatsApp experience.

As revealed, the security hub will also include a guide to inform users of the several user control options that the app provides. These have been specially designed to help people boost security when messaging.

The mini-site will further consist of tips on how users can avoid scammers, spammers, as well as unwanted attention. In addition, links to the various usage policies of the platform will also be provided.

WhatsApp has made a name for itself for its advanced security measures, and it hopes to enhance them even more, to make sure that private chats are not leaked in any way.

As a result, it is constantly working to boost tools that offer greater trust and security to users of the messaging app.
