Who can edit a shared shopping list?

Everyone on a shared shopping list can add, edit and delete items. Only the person who created the list can stop sharing it for everyone or delete it for everyone.

What can you do on a shared list?

Most actions are available to everyone. The differences concern managing the whole list and creating categories.

Everyone on the list sees changes to items. On a list shared with you, you can use the categories of the person who created it. That person can’t be removed from the list.

Stopping sharing vs deleting the list

The result depends on whether you created the list or it was shared with you:

• You stop sharing a list you created: you keep the list, and everyone else loses access. The existing link to the list stops working.
• You delete a list you created: the list disappears for everyone it was shared with. They don’t get a separate notification about the deletion, and the link to the list stops working.
• You leave or delete a list shared with you: the list disappears only from your account. Everyone else keeps using it.
