How to stop sharing or leave a shopping list
Both actions start with the Stop sharing option in the list menu. What happens depends on whether you created the list or it was shared with you.
Stop sharing your list
When you stop sharing a list you created, everyone else loses access to it. You keep the list, and the existing link to it stops working.
Android
- Open the list and tap the list menu
- Select Stop sharing
- Tap Stop sharing to confirm.
iPhone
- Open the list and tap the list menu
- Select Stop sharing
- Tap Stop sharing to confirm.
Browser
- Open the list and click the list menu
- Select Stop sharing
- Click Stop sharing to confirm.
Leave a list shared with you
When you leave a list shared with you, it disappears only from your account. Everyone else keeps using it.
Android
- Open the list and tap the list menu
- Select Stop sharing
- If you want to keep the list for yourself, select Keep a copy of the list.
- Tap Stop sharing to confirm.
iPhone
- Open the list and tap the list menu
- Select Stop sharing
- If you want to keep the list for yourself, select Keep a copy of the list.
- Tap Stop sharing to confirm.
Browser

The copy is a separate, private list and doesn’t sync with the original.
