Pinterest is all about creating boards of interests where you pin content that you discover on the site to these boards. Some of these pins have links that you wouldn’t be able to see when you’re offline unless you saved them on apps like Pocket or Instapaper. Now, there is a new update for the iOS app where you can save these Pins with links on the app so that you can view them later.

You may wonder why they took so long in including this right from the start but better late than never. But how will this improve things? Well this Pinterest button will come in handy when you are in the middle of doing something else. In that moment, you will scroll fast checking out pins on the site or if someone shares a certain Pin of interest. Since you are busy, saving these articles on your various boards will be easier unlike the previous process where you save an article on Pocket which doesn’t go to your board.
