HushPinterest: Patches for Pinterest That Hide Ads and AI Labels

⚡ The Gist in 5 Seconds - The point: HushPinterest is a set of Morphe patches for Android that removes promoted pins and hides pins that Pinterest has marked as created or modified by AI. - Where it's available: the patches are installed via Morphe Manager 1.34.0+; the latest release, v0.0.4, contains 20 patches. - Limitation: the patched Pinterest cannot be installed over the stock version — you need to remove the original, and Google sign-in is unavailable (only Pinterest email and password). ### 🔍 What Was Found The SysAdminDoc/HushPinterest project is published on GitHub. The latest release is v0.0.4. The patches target Pinterest 14.38.0 (version code 14388010) for Android 10 and newer, and 14.25.0 (version code 14258020) for Android 9. A universal APK (the "nodpi" variant) or a split.apkm/.xapk build is used, provided Morphe Manager can merge it. The release declares 20 patches, while the description section mentions 23 patches in total. Besides hiding promoted pins and AI-labeled pins, the patches add pin downloads (original images and MP4), analytics blocking (AppsFlyer, Bugsnag, Firebase, Google Analytics), and hiding of comments, navigation buttons, search history, product pins, ad panels, and save notifications. Each patch has a separate toggle in the HushPinterest settings — you can enable only what you need, for example, remove ads but keep AI labels. ### 💡 Why It Matters The user gets flexible feed customization: ads and AI-labeled pins disappear independently of each other, and privacy and convenience features appear as well. However, there are caveats: Google sign-in doesn't work because the app's signing certificate is verified — you must use Pinterest email and password. To update the patched app, you need to keep the signing key that Morphe Manager generates on the phone; without it, updating over the existing installation becomes impossible. ### 🧩 Context Morphe Manager signs the patched APK with a key created on the device. Android only accepts updates signed with the same key, so the stock Pinterest cannot be updated with the patched one — it must be removed manually, with local data preserved. The signing key is exported to a Morphe.keystore file, which should be kept in a private place: anyone who obtains this file can sign an APK that the device will accept as an update.
