    How do I pin photos from my iPhone?
    Community Answer
    Open the Pinterest app and go to your profile. From there you should be able to see a plus sign in the top right corner. Click on it and it should say add a board or pin. Select photo under pin, and choose the photo from your camera roll that you want to use.

    Try logging out and logging back in - you may just need to refresh the page. If that doesn't work, I would contact the Pinterest support team.
