Yes, you can search for friends on Pinterest. If you also use Facebook, you can connect the accounts by choosing the ‘Login with Facebook’ option on the login page. Once logged in, you will see a drop down menu with your name and profile picture in the upper right. Hover over it and then click on ‘Find Friends’. You will then be able to see and follow all of your Facebook friends that currently use Pinterest.

If you don’t use Facebook or want to find friends who don’t, you can try typing their name into the search bar in the upper left. You can then specify whether you were searching for Pins, Boards or People.

You are also able to invite friends to start using Pinterest by clicking the red ‘Invite Friends’ button in the upper right on your Pinterest homepage.

Hope this helps!
