Want to share your shopping list with a friend? When shared, you will both have access to the same shopping list, giving you a better way to coordinate your weekly shopping.
*NEW* Sharing Your Shopping List is Back!
Shopping list sharing is back and ready for you to use! We took some time to make updates to the feature to improve your experience and make collaborating on your weekly shopping list a breeze.
In version 61.0.0, you will be able to share your shopping list with another user. To improve your shopping list-sharing experience, changes that have been made include:
- Improved icons, so you can see whether your shopping list is currently being shared at a glance.
- You can view and manage who your shopping list is shared with from the Lists tab by clicking on the “Shared List” icon.
Note: At the moment, a list can only be shared between two different accounts. If you wish to be able to view your list on another device, please check out this article on syncing your account across multiple devices by logging into the same account.
You Want to Share Your Shopping List
Note: Both you and your friend must be on version 61.0.0 or above to use the share shopping list feature.
- Select the Lists tab and select the “Invite” icon (one person with a ‘+’) in the top right corner. If you aren’t already signed in, you will be prompted to sign into your account to share your list.
- Choose “Send Invitation Link”. If you no longer wish to send the invitation to share your list, select “No thanks”.
- You will be prompted to select the method you want to use to share the list (such as a text message, email, etc.). Once you select a method of sharing, a unique URL for the shopping list will be sent to your friend.
- When your friend accepts the invitation, you will be notified within the app. Your Shopping List is now shared! Your shopping lists will be merged and both you and your friend can edit the shopping list. Note: Once the invitation has been accepted the link will no longer be valid.
