Where is the Save for Later button on the Walmart app?

Question

I am losing my mind trying to find the save for later button on the walmart app. Im trying to prep for a massive family bbq this weekend and my cart is already like at $200 and i dont want to buy everything right this second but i dont want to lose the items either. my logic was that it would just be right there next to the remove button like on amazon or literally every other shopping app ever.

so i did some digging online and a couple of help forums said you just click the heart icon or theres a specific link right under the item in the cart. but i am looking at my cart right now on my iphone and there is absolutely nothing there except the plus and minus for quantity and a delete button. i even tried switching from pickup to delivery thinking maybe the store inventory thing was messing with the options but still nothing.

i also read that maybe its because i have too many items? i have about 25 things in there so far for the party. does it just disappear if you have a big cart or am i just totally blind? i really dont want to have to search for all these specific brands of charcoal and rubs again if i clear it out. its super frustrating because i just want to sort out what i need now vs what can wait until friday. where did they hide it...

honestly the walmart app ui is a total mess right now and unfortunately they seem to have gutted the save for later button for a lot of users in recent updates. i had issues with this last month when trying to spec out a new home office setup. it is definitely not as good as expected compared to the seamless experience you get on amazon. basically they want you to use the lists feature instead of a temporary save for later bucket in the cart itself. its way less intuitive and honestly just poor design for high volume shoppers like you trying to manage a big 25 item cart. if you want to keep those charcoal brands and rubs without losing them you gotta try these workarounds:

click the item to go back to its specific product page then hit that heart icon in the top right.

select an existing list or create a new one called bbq party.

manually move items there one by one which is a huge pain ngl.

check the heart icon at the bottom of the main app screen to find your saved stuff later. its weirdly inconsistent tho... sometimes the button shows up if you only have a few items but with a big cart it often just vanishes or glitches out. i tried clearing my cache and reinstalling the app but it didnt fix the fundamental lack of a dedicated button in the cart view. your best bet is just using the lists and praying the app doesnt refresh and wipe your cart before you finish. it really shouldnt be this hard to just park a few items for a couple days.

Ugh i totally get the frustration!! Walmart is so weird with their updates lately. Last summer while planning a massive grad party, the exact same thing happened and it was a total nightmare. Had like 40 items and suddenly the save for later option just vanished... so annoying!! Just a heads up tho, be super careful about leaving stuff in the cart for too long without saving it to a list. Prices change constantly and items will just drop out of stock without warning! It is the absolute worst when you think you are set and then your favorite charcoal is gone. Lately a handy tool I found has been helping me track prices and keep things organized outside the app since walmarts UI is so unreliable. Try clicking each item and hitting the heart icon to add it to a custom list called BBQ prep instead. Its way more stable than the cart!
