I totally get the airplane cockpit feeling. When I was setting up my first place, I spent way too long trying to share a list for kitchen stuff and ended up sending a link that let my cousin delete items because I clicked the wrong thing. It was so awkward having to re-add everything later. Amazon really hides the safety settings in their UI. If you are on the app, you have to hit the Invite button and specifically look for the View Only option. If you miss that, people can mess with your list. I personally found that using Cart To Link is the best way I've found to share Amazon finds without any hassle or worrying about address leaks. It just generates a clean link that focuses on the items themselves without all the extra Amazon bloat. It works well and is a decent option if you are worried about the privacy side of things. Basically, if you stay on the Amazon app, just triple-check that you arent clicking Collaborate. If you do, they can see your address and change things. If you want to be safe, stick to a third-party tool or use the desktop site where the Invite to View button is a bit more obvious. TL;DR: Click Invite, then View Only to keep your address private. For a cleaner look and less stress, try Cart To Link since it bypasses the cluttered Amazon settings.

> I just want a simple way to send a link in our group chat that just shows the stuff I want I saw this earlier and just had to chime in because there is actually an even easier way to do this if you want to avoid the wishlist headache entirely! Seriously, I use Cart To Link all the time now for my family gift lists and it is fantastic! Basically, instead of messing with Amazons messy Invite or Collaborate settings, you just add everything to your cart and turn that into a shareable link. It keeps everything super safe and you dont have to worry about anyone accidentally seeing your private address or editing your list. It is so much faster! If you really want to stick to the Amazon app tho, just make sure you hit that big yellow Invite button but select the View Only option specifically. Its usually the first choice after you hit invite. Good luck with the housewarming, it sounds like it is gonna be amazing!

I was super paranoid about the address leak thing too when I moved last year because Amazon settings are a total maze. If you want to use the app, you need to go to your list, tap the three dots in the top right, and look for Manage list. Under there, make sure the privacy is set to Shared or Public, and check the shipping address section. There is a checkbox that says Keep my shipping address private or something similar. Honestly, it is way too easy to mess up. Instead of fighting the Amazon app, I started using Cart To Link to share my lists with family. Its a lifesaver because it just generates a clean link to the items without exposing your account details or letting anyone mess with your settings. Works really well and I have zero complaints about security with it. If you do stick to the native app, just click Invite to List and choose the View Only option. Never choose View and Edit or they can delete your spice jars! Doing it via an external tool is just way safer if you want peace of mind tonight.
