The shared list is not syncing

  1. Confirm both devices are online.
  2. Open Settings → Synchronization and check the sync status.
  3. Confirm both devices show the same household/list code.
  4. Leave the app open briefly so pending changes can finish synchronizing.
  5. If an error remains, send a screenshot of the status and diagnostics without posting the QR code publicly.

A household code gives access to the shared grocery list. Share the QR code only with people who should be able to view and change that list.

QR pairing does not work

  • Allow Camera access when prompted, or enable it in Settings → Privacy & Security → Camera.
  • Increase screen brightness on the device showing the code and keep the whole QR code visible.
  • Clean the camera lens and hold the devices steady.
  • If scanning remains unavailable, use the manual household/list code shown in synchronization settings.

The camera is used only to scan the pairing QR code. Family Groceries does not save or upload camera images.

Smart Add or dictation is unavailable

Smart Add can parse typed grocery text without microphone access. Dictation additionally requires Microphone and Speech Recognition permissions.

Open the device’s Privacy & Security settings to review those permissions. Speech recognition availability may also depend on the selected language, network connection, and Apple’s speech service.

Apple Watch or widget is out of date

  1. Open Family Groceries on the iPhone and wait for synchronization to complete.
  2. Open the Watch app or refresh the Home Screen.
  3. Confirm the iPhone and Watch are paired and signed into the expected Apple services.
  4. If needed, remove and add the widget again.

Delete synchronized data

Deleting an item marks it as deleted for up to 30 days so another offline device does not restore it. It is then removed from the synchronized database during cleanup.

To request deletion of an entire cloud list and its anonymous membership records, email support.bapcorp@gmail.com. Include the household/list code from synchronization settings. Do not send the QR code through a public channel.

What to include in a support request

  • Device model, iOS/watchOS version, and app version
  • Whether the issue affects the iPhone app, Watch app, widget, or synchronization
  • What you expected and what happened
  • A screenshot without personal grocery information, if possible

Never send Apple ID passwords, Firebase credentials, or other account passwords.
