Pinterest is giving its users more ways to explore their interests and engage with the community by launching the new Pinterest Shuffles app. As I previously reported for the Deseret News, Shuffles was launched as an invite-only app. Recently, the invite-only was lifted and now anyone can join without needing a code, making it easier than ever to have fun with collective collaging.
What is Pinterest Shuffles, and how does it work?
Shuffles is a collage-making app and mood board tool that allows users to come together and make collages, giving everyone a chance to collaborate on ideas for their virtual collage. Through the app, you can join or create different collages and add your own photos, Pinterest pins or even GIFs from inside the app. You can also comment on collages, like them and remix them to your own collage, or start from scratch and create something unique.
How to join Pinterest Shuffles without needing a code
Now that the Shuffles picture collage app is open to the public, no invitation code is needed. Joining Shuffles is as easy as signing in by using your Pinterest account. If you do not have a Pinterest account, you can easily make one via Pinterest or directly on the Shuffles sign-in page. Signing into the Shuffles mood board app will also work with business accounts.
How people are using Shuffles
People have taken advantage of the collaging opportunities that Pinterest Shuffles has opened up. From creating mood boards to sharing inspirational quotes, collagers worldwide are finding creative ways to use this collage-making app to express themselves.
Some popular themes of collages include color aesthetic mood boards (such as #blueaesthetic or #tanaesthetic), seasonal photo collages (#fallaesthetic, #winteraesthetic or #autumn), holiday mood boards (#christmas or #newyears), fashion mood boards (#outfitinspo, #fashionaesthetic or #ootd) and fangirl mood boards (#TaylorSwift, #TaylorsVersion or #HarryPotter).
