How do I actually share my Walmart shopping list with my mom so we can both add stuff to it in real-time? Ive been using the app for years for my own weekly grocery runs and never had an issue, but I cannot for the life of me find a share button or an invite link. My moms coming up from Florida to stay with me for three weeks next month and she has some pretty specific gluten-free requirements, so I wanted to let her just add her own almond milk and snacks to a shared list while shes still home. That way I can just do one big pickup order at the Supercenter on 5th right before she lands.
I looked in the Lists section under my account but the only options I see are to rename or delete the whole thing which is super frustrating. I even tried giving her my login info but the 2FA keeps texting my phone while I'm at work and its just a total mess. Is there a way to sync lists between two different accounts or am I just missing a hidden setting somewhere? I really dont want to have to copy-paste links from the website into a group chat like its 2010...

Honestly, the Walmart app doesnt actually have a native real-time collaborative list feature for separate accounts. Its been a massive pain point for years. I tried doing this exact thing when my brother moved in last summer and spent way too long digging through the UI and even checking their API documentation just to find out the feature simply doesnt exist yet. The lists are hard-coded to your specific account UUID. Since the 2FA is killing your workflow, heres the technical workaround I used:
- Create a custom Registry instead of a standard List. Set it to public and share the link with your mom.
- She can search for her almond milk and add items directly to that registry from her own device.
- You then go to the registry on your end and move everything to your cart. It basically treats the registry as a public database she can write to while you have read/buy access. It works way better than sharing logins.
