Shared shopping list

Fregnen
Community Member

Hi, 

My partner and I share this device. Yet, he is the only one who can have sleep tracking and add to the shopping list.

If I try to add an item to the shopping list, it creates a new list. The list is shared with me. I tried to see if I could make the list my primary list but cannot find the settings in the Google Home app.

What to do?

Kind regards

Hey Fregnen, 

 

Thanks for reaching out and sorry to hear you are having issues with your shopping list. Few questions, were you able to add your account on the device? Also, try checking if personal results are on. Here's how to check: https://bit.ly/2O7v3gC

 

Keep me posted.

Yes, and yes, they are on.

Hi Fregnen,

 

Thanks for responding.

 

Since other settings has been checked, let's go ahead and try to remove the other account from sharing and add the other account back. To do that, let's do the following steps:

  1. Open the Google Home app Google Home app.
  2. At the top right, tap your account.
  3. Verify that the Google Account shown is the one linked to your speaker or display. To switch accounts, tap another account or Add another account.
  4. Go back to the home screen, then tap Settings .
  5. Scroll down to "Services," then tap Notes and lists. Note: If asked, choose an app to open your list.
  6. To view your lists, next to "My shopping list," tap Menu Menu.
  7. Tap the shared list and then share button .
  8. Tap the X next to the person you want to remove from the shared list. You'll get a confirmation that they've been removed.

Let me know how it goes.

 

Best,

Hi, 

My partner removed me and re-added me to the list. It did not work.  I also tried making a list and adding him, but the Nest keeps adding items to our individual lists. If we delete the individual list so that we only have our shared one saved, it creates new ones. 
Again, we cannot find the "make primary list" setting listed as a solution for this issue.

Hi Fregnen, 

 

Thanks for responding. 

 

Let's go ahead and perform a complete reset to your Google speakers and set it up again. Let's make sure that the accounts that you will use are the accounts that you want to share your shopping list with.

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

Best,

Princess
