unpinned

No longer secured

Unpinned means removed from a pinned position.

On digital platforms, to unpin something is to remove it from a fixed spot at the top of a feed or folder: I unpinned the old announcement from the channel.

Physically, unpinned describes something with its pin removed—a grenade, a hinge, a piece of fabric.

Hair that has come loose from pins is unpinned: Her unpinned hair fell around her shoulders.
