Use a shared purchase status to avoid duplicate gifts
A shared purchase status helps everyone coordinate, including the person whose wish it is.
Before you start
Several relatives may buy the same gift before they hear about one another’s plans.
Open a wish you can manage
Open the active wish. In the example Daniel, a family admin, opens Sofia’s Walking ideas book.
Confirm the purchase status
Tap Mark as purchased and confirm the dialog. Use this when the shared status should actually change.
Check Purchased
Close the detail view and open Purchased. The book now appears there instead of in Active.
Read the buyer and date
Open the book again to see Daniel Smith as the buyer and the recorded date. The final view uses Sofia’s account to show that the wish owner sees the same details.
All done
As the wish owner or a family admin, open the item and choose Mark as purchased. Confirm the dialog. The item moves to Purchased and records the signed-in person as the buyer, with the date. The owner can also see these details, so this does not keep a gift secret.
