Moving into my new studio next week and have $500 for kitchen stuff! Im torn between sharing my login with my partner so we see one cart or trying the Household thing. My logic was the profile is safer but do the carts actually sync in real-time across our different phones? Or should I just stick to one login...
Helpful thread 👍
> My logic was the profile is safer but do the carts actually sync in real-time across our different phones? I definitely agree that using separate profiles is the safer way to handle things. In my experience over the years, sharing a single login usually leads to security headaches or someone accidentally changing the primary shipping address. While a single login technically syncs the cart in real-time, it can be really laggy. Sometimes you wont see what the other person added until you refresh the app manually. One small point to consider... if you use the Amazon Household feature, you dont actually get a shared cart. Each profile has its own private cart. You would have to use the shared shopping list feature to collaborate on that 500 dollar kitchen budget. I still think the Household option is better tho. Its just more reliable and keeps your individual purchase history private. It prevents any surprises or mistakes.
Sharing the login is honestly the best way because it syncs everything instantly! Using the Household feature keeps carts private, which is fantastic for surprises but terrible for collaborating on kitchen gear... I saw a thread on Smartphone Board about how the app handles these sync sessions.
