How to create, rename and delete a shopping list

To create a shopping list, tap New list on the Lists tab and give it a name. You can rename it later from the list menu, and delete a list you no longer need from the same menu.

Create a new list

You can have as many lists as you need, for example one for your weekly shopping, one for a particular store and one for a trip. A name is optional: if you leave the field blank, the list is called New list.

Delete a list

A deleted list isn’t gone for good straight away. It moves to Trash, where you can restore it, and it’s only permanently deleted once you delete it there.

Deleting a shared list works differently depending on who created it:

  • A list you created: it disappears for everyone it was shared with.
  • A list shared with you: it disappears only from your account, and everyone else can keep using it.
