Manage grocery lists and categories

Grocery lists keep errands and household items in one place. Categories make a longer list easier to scan while you shop.

Choose a list on iPhone

  1. Open Grocery and tap the list name at the top to choose a list.
  2. For stores and categories, open Profile, then “Manage stores and categories.”
  3. Choose the list you want to work with.

Add or change categories

Open Profile, then “Manage stores and categories.” Add a category such as Produce, Pantry or Household. Categories are shared across the grocery lists you own; shared-list changes depend on who owns the list.

When you remove a category, the grocery items stay on the list. They are simply left without a category until you assign one again.

Use only the structure that helps

Choose a category when you add or edit an item, or leave it blank and organize it later. A few useful categories are better than a long list that makes shopping feel like another project.
