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: on iPad, your family is displayed in the Family column on the left and your messages on the right; on iPhone, use the Family / Messages control at the top of the Sharing screen to switch between your family and your messages.

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 and press the Invite Family Member button in the Family area. Enter the email address of the person you would like to invite, and press Invite.

The invited person will receive an email invitation, and the invitation stays under Pending Invitations until they accept it. Once they accept, they'll appear in your family member list and can log in to your Paprika account with their own login.

Managing Family Members

The Family area displays all of your family member accounts, along with a Pending Invitations group showing the status of any pending invitations. 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 Sharing section, with a thumbnail for each recipe and indicators showing which messages have been read.

Sending Recipes & Cookbooks

To send a recipe, open it and choose Send to Paprika User… from the menu. You can also tap and hold a recipe in the recipes list and choose Send to Paprika User…. Enter the recipient's Paprika account email address in the To field, or press the add contact button beside it to pick someone from your contacts, and press Send. You can add more than one recipient, and an optional message.

To send several recipes at once, tap in the recipes list, select the recipes, then press and choose Send to Paprika User….

You can also send an entire cookbook: choose Send “My Cookbook” to Paprika User… (with the current cookbook's name) from the menu in the recipes list, or send it from the Cookbooks screen (see Sharing a Cookbook). Recipients receive every recipe it contains, including photos.

Receiving & Importing Recipes

When someone sends you a recipe, it appears in your messages in the Sharing section. Tap the message to open the Import Recipes screen, which lists the recipes it contains, all checked. Uncheck any you don't want, then press Import to add them to your collection. Imported recipes are added to your current cookbook, and you can move them anywhere you like afterwards.

When someone sends you a cookbook, tap the message and press Import to add a copy of the cookbook, with its recipes and categories, to your cookbooks. Later changes by the sender are not synced.

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 Settings -> Notifications on your device.
