Communicating about a specific pin within Pinterest just got a whole lot easier thanks to a new feature from Pinterest. The new ‘messages’ service allows users to send pins to other users (even multiple users) for private conversations.

To initiate, users can press down on a pin and click the send icon (the paper airplane) to bring this service up on mobile devices or simply use the Send “with message” option on desktop devices. When a new message arrives, a notification will appear for the recipient. Each user can also perform a quick search within Pinterest directly from messages to add additional pins into the conversation.

The ability to share with multiple folks could be a boon for businesses looking for feedback or even marketing teams that are curating content together as a brand.
