Why can I not save pictures from Pinterest
Sometimes there can be problems downloading images from Pinterest. Among the most common reasons:
- unsatisfactory internet speed;
- lack of access of the photo service to the directories where the uploaded files are saved (the user could not give permission);
- old version of the official app.
Before downloading images, check the speed of your internet connection. If it's low, it's better to wait for it to normalize or look for another network access point. If the speed is sufficient and there are no freezes, you can try to completely exit Pinterest and enter it again. As a last resort, you can restart your phone and change the way you access the Internet from Wi-Fi to Mobile Data.
