Paprika 4 makes it easy to cook together. You can share your entire collection with the people in your household using family sharing, or send individual recipes and cookbooks to any Paprika user with in-app messages.

Both features live in the Sharing section in the Main Menu. Use the Family and Messages tabs at the top of the screen to switch between them.

Family Sharing

Family sharing lets everyone in your household use the same recipe collection with their own Paprika account. Each family member gets their own login, and everyone's changes sync to the shared collection — so anyone can add a recipe, check off groceries at the store, or plan the week's meals.

The family owner manages the family and its subscription. Family members do not need to purchase their own subscription.

A family can have up to 5 members in total, including the owner.

Inviting Family Members Premium

To invite someone to your family, go to the Sharing section, select the Family tab, and press the button in the toolbar. Enter the email address of the person you would like to invite.

The invited person will receive an email with instructions for joining your family. Once they accept, they'll appear in your family member list and can log in with their own account.

Managing Family Members

The Family tab displays all of your family member accounts, along with the status of any pending invitations. The family owner is marked with an Owner badge, and a member without a name is shown by their email address. As the family owner, you can:

• Resend a pending invitation if it wasn't received.
• Cancel a pending invitation.
• Remove a family member from the family.

Messages Premium

You can send recipes — or entire cookbooks — directly to other Paprika users with in-app messages. It's the easiest way to pass along a favorite recipe to a friend who also uses Paprika.

Your messages are displayed in the Messages tab of the Sharing section. Swipe down on the message list to refresh it.

Sending Recipes & Cookbooks

To send a recipe, open it and choose Message from the menu. Enter the recipient's Paprika account email address — or pick them from your contacts using the contact picker — and press Send.

To send an entire cookbook, use the Share Cookbook action described in Sharing a Cookbook. Recipients receive every recipe it contains, including photos.

Receiving & Importing Recipes

When someone sends you a recipe, it appears in the Messages tab of the Sharing section. Open the message to preview the recipes it contains, then press Import to add them to your collection.

If someone sends you an entire cookbook, Paprika will ask you to confirm before importing it.

Push Notifications

Paprika can notify you when you receive a new message, even when the app isn't running. The first time you log in, Paprika will ask for permission to send you notifications. You can change this at any time in your device's notification settings for the Paprika app.
