I blocked my cousin by mistake. It doesn’t allow me to search for her profile to unblock her.
Can you help?
Hi, try these methods below, hopefully it should work:
1. If you have a direct link to her Pinterest profile, you can try accessing it directly. Ask her to share her Pinterest profile link with you, and click on it to go directly to her profile.
2. Clear your browser’s cache and cookies, or try using a different browser. Sometimes, browser issues can affect the functionality of certain features on websites.
3. If you’re using the Pinterest mobile app, try uninstalling and reinstalling it. This can sometimes resolve glitches or issues with app functionality.
