Shared Lists

A shared list lets more than one person work from the same list. Members see the shared list and the changes made to it.

What a shared list is

A shared list is a Smart Lists list that has more than one member.

Everyone who joins the list works from the same list rather than keeping separate copies.

The member count on the Home tile shows how many people currently belong to that list.

After another person joins, both of you can open the same shared list.

Changes made to shared list content are reflected for the members of that list.

This makes it possible to manage a checklist or budget together.

List content such as items and shared purchase information can be visible to members of that list.

Changes to the list itself are part of the shared list experience.

Exactly what is shown depends on the list type and which features are enabled.

Your “Personal Balance” is private to you.

Another member can see shared list information but does not gain access to your private “Personal Balance”.

Private app settings such as your appearance choices are also personal to your device or profile.

Open the shared list.
Tap the three dots in the top right corner.
Choose “Leave list”.
Read the confirmation and continue if you want to remove yourself from that list.

After leaving, the shared list is removed from your own Smart Lists access.

Other remaining members can continue using the list when the list remains available to them.

Your departure also changes the member count.

If the list itself is deleted, the shared list is no longer available to members.

This is different from one member choosing to leave.

Use delete only when the list should be removed, not merely when you personally no longer need access.
