Pinterest new camera feature to aid online shopping addicts


Just when you thought online shopping couldn’t become anymore addictive, another app comes up with yet another feature to rob you of your bank account (but who’s complaining? TAKE MY MONEY 🤑🤑)

Pinterest last Monday, the 1st of June, launched a new ‘shop’ tab for pinners when taking snaps. This feature allows users to take a pic of their old and beloved pair of sneakers and shop for identical or similar pairs available online for purchase.

Whether you’re walking down the street and spot a lad wearing a decent pair of GAA shorts or you’re in your friend’s house and admire their artwork- this feature will provide you with the opportunity to get the things you like for yourself.

Pinterest will take you directly to the retailer’s checkout once your satisfied with your pin, which means all the hard work is already done for you! 🛍

The Pinterest Lens will also allow you to upload photos already stored on your camera roll or screenshots from other apps. Shopping has never been made easier?😍

So what are you waiting for? Get snapping and get shopping 😁
