If you’re an avid sharer on Pinterest, you’ll probably be happy to know that the interest-based social network just made it easier to save stuff when on your iPhone. Starting today, every iOS user will be able to use the Pinterest button for the iPhone to save pins to the site.

If you have an iOS device, you can add a Pinterest button by modifying your share options. Find something you want to pin, activate the share button, and that’s it — just like sending a text, flipping something to Flipboard, or tweeting a link. Pinterest says you can edit descriptions of pins, create new boards, and choose from multiple images in a new grid format.
