To share your wish list in the Amazon iPhone app, open your list and tap the share or ⋯ button at the top, then choose whether people can only view it (best for gift ideas) or edit it with you. Amazon creates a link you can send by Messages, email, or any app on your iPhone. Amazon changes its app layout from time to time, so button labels may differ slightly.
Quick Answer
Amazon app > profile icon > Your Lists > open the list > Share (or ⋯ > Share) > View only > choose how to send it.
Share a Wish List
- Open the Amazon app and tap the profile (person) icon.
- Tap Your Lists, then open the list you want to share.
- Tap Share or the ⋯ menu, then choose View only for gift-givers or Invite to edit for someone planning with you.
- Pick Messages, Mail, or another app, and send the link.
Before You Share
- Privacy: In the list’s settings, choose Shared (anyone with the link) rather than Public (searchable) if you only want invited people to see it.
- Shipping address: Add a gift address in list settings so people can send gifts without seeing your full address.
- Purchased items: Choose whether to keep purchased items on the list so the surprise isn’t spoiled.

Frequently Asked Questions
