How to add a Pinterest button to your iOS sharing options

If you're one of Pinterest's many users, 80% of whom access the service via a mobile device, you might be interested in getting a 'Pin it' button onto your iOS 8 device's built-in sharing options.
It's simple to do, but you do have to actively set it up yourself, even if you've already downloaded the Pinterest app.
Take a look through our simple walkthrough below for a much smoother mobile Pinterest experience.

Activate the Pin it button.

If you've downloaded the Pinterest app for iOS, you already have the tools for better mobile pinning — you just need to activate them.

To do this, go to Safari, Chrome or the Google app (whichever is your browser of choice) and click the "Share" option. On the icon bar that comes up, swipe left until you see a "More" button and tap it.
Now, on the new list that appears, toggle the Pinterest option to "On," so it shows as a green dot.

If you'd like to move the 'Pin it' button up to the top of your share list options, so you don't have to swipe to see it, you can tap, hold and drag it further along.

From now on, the 'Pin it' button will show up in all your "Share" options, so you can pin straight to whichever Pinterest board you'd like while on the go.
