How to Get a Pinterest Look on Facebook

Facebook is no doubt the leading social media platform, but when Pinterest captured the attention of the social masses, it challenged the popularity of the social media empire like no other entity could. One of the coolest features of Pinterest is its attractive interface that lets users organize and share mind blowing images with others. On the other hand, Facebook Timeline is one feature that has not been well received by many users. If you want to get away from the Facebook timeline look, and instead view your Facebook profile like a Pinterest profile, then this tutorial shows you how to get a Pinterest look on Facebook.

2. Click the green Click to Get Started button.

3. Then click Go to App.

4. Click Allow to grant permission to the app to access your data.
