Manage invitations, requests, participants, and permissions

Open the list and tap Manage Sharing in the bottom toolbar. You can also touch and hold the list on the Lists screen and choose Manage Sharing. Owners can manage the following sections when they apply:

• Pending Invitations: share or copy a personal link again, show its QR code, change its permission, or cancel it.
• Access Requests: approve as Can Edit or View Only, deny the request, or block future requests from that person.
• Participants: change a participant’s permission or remove their access.
• Blocked People: unblock someone so a future request can be considered.

If you cannot add contacts

Check the list role shown in CNTC. View Only participants can view and import shared contacts but cannot add or change them. Ask the owner to open Manage Sharing, find you under Participants, and change your permission to Can Edit.

Participants joining through Anyone with Link share the public link’s permission. The owner changes it from the Permission control in Manage Sharing.

Viewing participants

If you joined someone else's list, open the list, tap More, and choose Participants. You can also touch and hold the list on the Lists screen and choose Participants. The owner appears first, followed by accepted participants. Your entry is marked You, alongside your access permission. Pull down to refresh after membership changes.

Removing access or stopping sharing

Removing someone prevents future access through iCloud after the change synchronizes. It cannot remove contact details that person already imported, copied, or saved elsewhere.

Stop Sharing ends the shared list for all participants but does not delete the owner’s local list. Deleting the list is a separate action.
