Where Does AnyList Store Lists?
AnyList syncs lists through its account, with offline copies and settings in app private storage on each phone.
Last updated
AnyList is account led list keeping. Grocery lists, recipes, and shares live on the account with offline copies in app private storage. The phone holds convenience data, never the originals.
Sharing membership decides what survives a switch. Lists shared with family restore on every signed in device. Unsynced local lists die with reinstalls, so sync first and verify on the web before wiping. The login is the entire backup strategy.

How do shared AnyList lists transfer?
Through list sharing inside the app to the same account or family members. Shared lists sync to every signed in device. Pure local lists only exist until a reinstall, so share or sync first.
