How to Stop Pinterest Emails (2026)

Stop Pinterest emails with one toggle: Pinterest's official steps for desktop, iPhone, and Android, plus how to unsubscribe from a single email type.

Pinterest sends ideas, "Pins you might love," board activity, and account updates. Unlike many sites, Pinterest has a single Email toggle that turns off email notifications in one go.

How to stop Pinterest emails on desktop

From Pinterest's Help Center:

Log in to your Pinterest account and click the more options icon at the bottom left of the screen.
Select Settings.
Click Notifications in the left-side navigation.
Open How you get notifications (the down arrow next to it).
Click the toggle next to Email to turn email notifications off.
Click Save.

How to stop Pinterest emails on iPhone

Open the Pinterest app and tap your profile picture at the bottom right.
Tap Notifications.
Under How you get notifications, tap the down arrow.
Tap the toggle next to Email, then tap Turn off all.

How to stop Pinterest emails on Android

Tap your profile picture at the bottom right, then the more options icon at the top right.
Tap Notifications.
Under How you get notifications, tap the down arrow.
Tap the toggle next to Email, then Turn off all.

(On a business account, tap the ellipsis icon at the top right of your profile to reach notification settings.)

Unsubscribe from one email type

Open a Pinterest email, scroll to the bottom, click Unsubscribe, then Confirm. To unsubscribe from everything from that page, deselect the email types you're currently receiving.

Pinterest says it may take a day or two for settings to update. If emails are for an account you didn't create, Pinterest asks you to contact them.

Block or filter Pinterest emails in Gmail or Outlook

If some Pinterest emails still get through, filter them in your email app so they skip your inbox:

Gmail: open a Pinterest email, click the three dots (More) at the top, and choose Filter messages like these. Click Create filter, then pick Skip the Inbox (Archive it) or Delete it.
Outlook: right-click a Pinterest email and choose Rules → Create rule to move messages from that sender to a folder. Or choose Block sender if you never want to see them. Blocking sends future messages to Junk.

A filter is better than blocking if some of the emails (receipts, security alerts) are ones you may need later.

Pinterest is rarely the only sender filling your inbox. Inbox Zero's Bulk Unsubscribe finds every newsletter and marketing sender in your Gmail or Outlook account and lets you deal with them together:

See every sender in one list. Newsletters and marketing emails are grouped by sender, with how many each one sends and how often you actually open them.
Unsubscribe in one click. Inbox Zero uses each sender's own unsubscribe mechanism, and you can select several senders at once. Select suggested picks out high-volume senders you rarely read.
Auto Archive what won't stop. For senders that keep emailing (like emails from a second Pinterest account using the same address), Auto Archive files future emails out of your inbox automatically, optionally with a label, so they're there if you need them.
Clean up the backlog. Archive or delete old emails from a sender in bulk instead of scrolling through them.

For account notifications like Pinterest's, the settings above are still the most complete fix, because they stop the emails at the source. Inbox Zero covers everything else, and it's open source.
