Search products with your camera on Pinterest
Pinterest is rolling out a new visual search feature called automatic object detection. It is a new way to search within a Pin to find products. You can now tap a visual search icon on the top right corner of the Pin and it will give you all the searchable items with dots. You can then explore the dots to look for similar Pins. This addition is a huge step forward for the app to attract more users and simplify the way to use it. Another feature Pinterest has added is a new filtering option to find popular products, sale items and shipping deals from your favourite brands.
