India, Feb. 18 -- Pinterest is down for thousands of users in the United States on Tuesday afternoon. As of this writing, more than 4000 Pinterest users are reporting receiving an error message saying "user experience data retrieval failure" on Down Detector, a platform that tracks such outages based on users' data.

When Pinterest shows a "user experience data retrieval failure" error, it generally means the app or site failed to fetch your account or feed data from Pinterest's servers. A backend outage or connection glitch is usually behind the outage.
