How do I find my way around?

Where everything is in Wishpicks: Home, Explore, Wishes and Updates sit on the left on a computer and along the bottom on a phone.

Home, Explore, Wishes and Updates run down the left side on a computer and along the bottom on a phone; Settings is under your profile picture once you've signed in.

On a computer they're icons: hover over one to see its name, and Settings is the gear at the bottom.

On a phone, the bottom bar also has a pink + for adding a wish: see "How do I add a wish?".

The Wishpicks logo always takes you back to Home.

What's in each section?

  • Home: what's coming up (dates, invitations, gifts you've reserved and price drops), your lists, lists you've opened and gift ideas. Each part shows only when it has something in it.

  • Explore: gift ideas, guides, shops and products. "What is Explore?" has the tour.

  • Wishes: your lists in Lists, dated lists in Dates, products you've liked in Saved, gifts you've reserved in For others, and wishes you watch with Wishpicks Plus in Tracked. "Where can I see the gifts I've reserved?" has more on For others.

  • Updates: invitations and price drops, covered below.

  • Settings: Profile (your photo, name, language and country), Notifications (which emails you get), Plus (your Wishpicks Plus subscription) and Account (how your data is handled, and deleting your account).

Where are Settings on my phone?

Once you've signed in, tap your profile picture at the top right, then Settings. The same menu has My profile, My collections, FAQ, Support and Sign out, plus Subscription if you have Wishpicks Plus.

The menu your profile picture opens on a phone: "Settings" sits just under "My profile" and "My collections", with "FAQ", "Support" and "Sign out" below.

Without an account, it shows Sign in, FAQ and Support. Need a hand with something? See "How do I contact support?".

What shows up in Updates?

Invitations to other people's lists and collections, under Waiting for you, and price drops on your wishes, under Recent. The number on the Updates icon counts new price drops plus invitations you haven't answered yet.

A price drop shows the new price with the old one crossed out, and new ones have a dot next to the time. Tap one to open the wish. Opening Updates marks the drops as seen, and older ones wait under Show earlier. Once you've seen everything, it says "You're all caught up", and when it's empty, "Nothing new yet."

Do links I've already sent keep working?

Yes: list links keep working, even after you rename the list or change your username.
