How to Find a Wish List on the Amazon App: A Shopper’s Guide

Finding a wish list on the Amazon app is straightforward, once you know where to look. You can access your own wish lists or those of your friends and family in just a few taps. Here’s how:

1. Open the Amazon App: Launch the Amazon app on your smartphone or tablet.
2. Navigate to the Menu: Tap the three horizontal lines (often referred to as the “hamburger menu”) typically located in the bottom right corner of the screen (on iOS) or the top left corner (on Android).
3. Select “Your Lists”: In the menu, scroll down and find the option labeled “Your Lists.” Tap on it.
4. Access Your Lists: This will take you to a page displaying all your existing wish lists and shopping lists.
5. Find a Friend’s List: To find someone else’s wish list, tap on “Friends.” You will need to either search for their name (if they’ve shared their list with you previously) or invite them to share their list with you by sending them an invitation via email or text message. If they have shared their list with you already, it will appear in this section.
6. Alternatively, Use a Direct Link: If someone has shared a direct link to their wish list with you, you can simply tap on that link, and it will open directly in the Amazon app.

That’s it! You are now a master of Amazon wish list navigation! Let’s dive deeper into some common questions that often arise when dealing with Amazon wish lists.

Amazon Wish List FAQs: Everything You Need to Know

Amazon wish lists are powerful tools for gift-giving and personal shopping organization. However, they can sometimes be confusing to navigate. Let’s unravel some of the most frequently asked questions to make you a true wish list aficionado.

How do I create a wish list on the Amazon app?

Creating a wish list is simple. Navigate to “Your Lists” as described above. Look for a button or link that says “Create a List.” Tap it, and then you’ll be prompted to give your list a name and choose its privacy settings (Public, Shared, or Private). Once created, you can add items to your list directly from product pages by tapping the “Add to List” button.

How do I make my wish list public, shared, or private?

After creating a list, or for an existing list, tap the three dots (menu icon) next to the list’s name. Select “Manage List.” Here, you’ll find the option to change the privacy settings.

• Public: Anyone can find your list by searching your name and location.
• Shared: Only people you specifically share the link with can view your list. This is the most common and recommended setting for gift-giving.
• Private: Only you can see your list.

How do I add items to my wish list from the Amazon app?

While browsing products, look for the “Add to List” button located beneath the “Add to Cart” button on the product page. Tap this button, and you’ll be presented with a list of your existing wish lists. Select the list you want to add the item to. You can also create a new list from this screen if needed.

How do I remove items from my wish list?

To remove an item, navigate to the wish list it resides in. Tap on the item to open its product details. You should see a button or link labeled “Remove from List.” Tap this button, and the item will be removed.

How do I share my wish list with friends and family?

Navigate to the wish list you want to share. Tap the three dots (menu icon) next to the list’s name. Select “Manage List,” then find the “Share List” option. You can then share the link via email, text message, or other social media platforms.

Can I have multiple wish lists on Amazon?

Absolutely! Amazon allows you to create an unlimited number of wish lists. This is great for organizing gifts for different occasions, creating lists for different family members, or simply separating different categories of items you’re interested in.

How do I mark items as purchased on a wish list?

When someone purchases an item from your wish list through Amazon, the item is automatically marked as purchased to prevent duplicates. However, if someone buys you something outside of Amazon, you can manually mark it as purchased. To do this, go to the wish list, tap on the item, and you should see an option to “Mark as Purchased.”

Why can’t I find someone’s wish list on Amazon?

There are a few reasons why you might not be able to find someone’s wish list:

• Privacy Settings: The person may have set their wish list to “Private” or “Shared,” and you haven’t been specifically given access.
• Name Discrepancy: Make sure you’re searching for them by the correct name.
• Incorrect Location: If the list is public, ensure the location setting is accurate. Amazon sometimes uses location to narrow down search results.
• They haven’t shared it with you: They may simply not have sent you the link.

How do I prioritize items on my wish list?

Amazon doesn’t offer a direct “prioritize” feature. However, a common workaround is to move your most desired items to the very top of the list. You can do this by removing the item and then re-adding it, which will place it at the bottom of the list (effectively the top when viewing in reverse order). Alternatively, create separate lists for “High Priority” and “Lower Priority” items.

Can I add items from other websites to my Amazon wish list?

While Amazon’s official “Add to Amazon” browser extension used to facilitate this process, it has been discontinued. Currently, adding items from other websites directly to your Amazon wish list is no longer a feature.

How do I change the shipping address for my wish list?

The shipping address for a wish list is determined by the address you have set as your default shipping address in your Amazon account. To change this, go to “Your Account,” then “Addresses,” and set your desired shipping address as the default. Remember, Amazon prioritizes the gift giver’s address, so they will enter their shipping address at the time of purchase.

Can I see who has viewed my wish list?

Unfortunately, Amazon does not provide information about who has viewed your wish list. This information is kept private to protect the privacy of your viewers. You’ll only know if someone has purchased an item when it’s marked as purchased or when you receive the gift!

By understanding these aspects of Amazon wish lists, you can maximize their usefulness for yourself and your loved ones. Happy shopping and gift-giving!
