To leave, open Profile & Settings → Household and tap Leave Household. Then choose what to keep:

  • Go Back to My Own — the recipes and plans you had before you joined come back, just as you left them.
  • Keep a Copy of the Household’s — you take a copy of the household’s recipes, meal plans, lists and pantry. It replaces what you had before you joined, which is deleted.

If you had nothing of your own before you joined, the choices are Keep a Copy of the Household’s or Start Fresh.

The household’s owner is the person who started it. The owner can remove someone: swipe left on their name under People, tap Remove, then Remove from Household. Whoever is removed gets their own recipes and plans back, and can keep a copy of the household’s instead.

The owner can’t leave while other people are in the household. First swipe left on someone under People, tap Make Owner, then Make Owner again. If you’re the only one in it, tap Stop Sharing, then Stop Sharing again; your recipes and plans stay just as they are.

Deleting your account doesn’t delete a household other people are in. They keep its recipes and plans, and if the owner deletes their account, the person who has been in it longest becomes the owner.
