Are my shopping lists backed up?
In short, yes, if you have a Listonic account. Your lists are then saved in your account, so they won’t disappear when you change phones, and you’ll see them on every device where you sign in.
Your lists save automatically
You don’t need to save anything yourself. When you’re online, Listonic saves every change to your account right away: new items, quantities, prices, notes and checked-off items. Changes you make offline are saved once your phone reconnects.
A backup isn’t a change history
Your account keeps the current state of your lists, not earlier versions. Deleting an item is saved too, so you can’t roll a list back to how it looked a few days ago. You can only get something back in these cases:
- Deleted list: it goes to Trash first, where you can restore it. It’s only deleted permanently when you delete it from Trash.
- Deleted item: in the phone app, tap Undo in the bar that appears at the bottom of the screen right after you delete it. In the browser, a deleted item can’t be restored.
Lists without an account
If you use Listonic without an account, your lists aren’t linked to an account you can sign in to. That’s why you can’t open them yourself on another phone or after reinstalling the app.
If your lists have already disappeared, contact us. We’ll check whether we can find them, although that isn’t always possible.
