Pinterest has changed its interface multiple times, and many users are confused because the Likes section is no longer obvious—especially on mobile.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

  • How to see your liked Pins
  • How to see likes on your own Pins
  • Why can’t I see likes sometimes
  • Differences between desktop and mobile
  • What changed in Pinterest’s latest updates

All solutions below work right now.


Quick Answer

If you’re wondering how to see likes on Pinterest:

  • ✔️ Go to Profile → Saved → All Pins → Liked Pins
  • ✔️ Open your own Pin to see like counts
  • ✔️ Use Analytics for detailed engagement
  • ❌ You cannot see who liked your Pins

Likes still exist — Pinterest just made them harder to find.

Can You Still See Likes on Pinterest?

Yes, but Pinterest moved and renamed features, which is why users think likes are gone.

Pinterest now focuses more on:

  • Saved Pins
  • Boards
  • Engagement insights

Likes still exist, but where you find them depends on what you’re trying to see.


Method: How to See Pins You’ve Liked (Desktop)

This is the most common meaning of “likes.”

Steps (Desktop Browser)

  1. Go to Pinterest.com
  2. Log in to your account
  3. Click your profile photo (top-right)
  4. Click Saved
  5. Select All Pins
  6. Use the filter → choose Liked Pins

If you don’t see “Liked Pins” immediately, scroll down — Pinterest sometimes loads it lower in the list.

Method: How to See Liked Pins on the Pinterest Mobile App

Pinterest’s mobile app hides this more than its desktop.

Steps (iOS & Android)

  1. Open the Pinterest app
  2. Tap your profile icon (bottom-right)
  3. Tap Saved
  4. Tap All Pins
  5. Scroll until you see Liked Pins

If you don’t see “Liked Pins,” make sure your app is fully updated.

Method: How to See Likes on Your Own Pins (Creator View)

If you want to see how many likes your Pins received, do this:

Steps

  2. Click or tap one of your Pins
  3. Look below the Pin image

You’ll see:

Method: How to See Likes Using Pinterest Analytics (Best for Creators)

If you’re a creator or business, analytics gives clearer data.

Steps

  1. Go to Pinterest Analytics
  2. Select Overview or Content
  3. Click a Pin
  4. View engagement metrics

You’ll see:

  • Likes
  • Saves
  • Outbound clicks

⚠️ Note:
Analytics only shows your own Pins, not Pins you liked.

Why Can’t I See Likes on Pinterest?

This is one of the most searched follow-up questions.

Reason: Pinterest UI Changes

Pinterest removed the Likes tab from the main navigation. Likes now live under Saved → All Pins.

Reason: App or Browser Is Outdated

Older versions hide or break the Likes filter.

Fix: Update the Pinterest app or browser.

Reason: You’re Using a Business Account

Pinterest prioritizes Saves and Clicks over Likes in business accounts.

Likes still exist — they’re just less visible.

Reason: Pinterest Is Testing New Layouts

Pinterest runs A/B tests, so features may appear or disappear temporarily.


Can You See Who Liked Your Pins?

Short answer: ❌ No

Pinterest does not show a list of users who liked your Pin.

You can only see:

  • Total like count
  • Total saves
  • Comments (if enabled)

This is a privacy design decision by Pinterest.


Difference Between Likes and Saves (Important)

Many users confuse these two.

Likes

  • Indicate appreciation
  • Personal reference
  • Less important for reach

Saves

Pinterest now treats Saves as more valuable than Likes, which is why Likes are less emphasized.


How to Like a Pin (Quick Reminder)

If you’re new to Pinterest:

Desktop

  • Hover over a Pin
  • Click the ❤️ icon

Mobile

  • Tap the ❤️ under the Pin

Liked Pins are automatically added to your Liked Pins collection.


Troubleshooting: Likes Not Showing

If likes don’t appear:

Try this checklist:

  • Hard refresh the page
  • Log out & back in
  • Update app
  • Clear browser cache
  • Try another device

If likes still don’t appear, Pinterest may be experiencing a temporary UI issue.


Do Likes Affect Pinterest Algorithm?

Yes — but less than Saves.

Likes:

  • Signal engagement
  • Help initial distribution

Saves:

  • Drive long-term reach
  • Increase visibility across feeds

If you’re a creator, focus on Saves, not Likes.


Conclusion

Pinterest hasn’t removed likes, but it changed where and how they’re displayed. Whether you’re a casual user or a creator, the methods above let you view likes reliably using current Pinterest features.If you don’t see Likes immediately, update your app and check under Saved Pins.
