Hello,
I need help with the new Pinterest statistics. I`m confused with monthly viewers.
@tanjaopacic Hi there, can you be more specific about what you're confused about with the monthly viewers? As I understand it... monthly viewers is simply how many times your pins are shown all around Pinterest & of course there's a lot of reasons why they're shown. Also that number can fluctuate wildly from time to time.

@PinterestGabby did I get that right?
Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I`ve followed you. I do like your account.
I`m confused because when Pinterest update statistics my computer showed 8 million viewers, but mobile showed 5,1 million. Main statistic for my account today 7,3 million.
This is my account https://www.pinterest.com/tanjaopacic/_created/
I`m just not sure what`s a real statistic.
@tanjaopacic Thanks for the compliment Tanja & for following me, I followed you back 😊
What you're asking is above my pay grade (lol) & I think only a manager can answer your question... so I'm tagging a couple of them to help you @PinterestJanice @PinterestGabby
Anyway, thanks. I`ll follow your ideas on your account.
One thing that's different is that they seem to have changed the stats from counting VIEWERS to VIEWS. So if a viewer had 4 of your pins on screen, that would show up as 4 instead of 1, I think? And therefore it would all add up to more than when it was "viewers."
And I'm not sure but I think a lot of the time, mobile vs desktop apps are often not updated all the same way at the same time, so maybe -- I'm just guessing here -- the mobile still shows viewers like the "old" way. I haven't looked at mobile yet. But that's what it could be, maybe.
But I'm not an expert and not part of the crew, just making some observations.
Thank you for your observation.
