How can we help?
Answers to the questions we get most. Can't find yours? Email us: we usually reply within a day.
Getting started
Do I need an account?
No. Yummii works fully without an account: your recipes, grocery list and meal plan live on your phone, even offline. With an account they sync between your devices, you get a backup, and you can follow friends and share recipes.
How do I create an account?
Open your profile (the person icon top left on Home) and choose Continue with Apple, or enter your email address and a password. With email you first get a message to confirm your address.
What happens to my recipes if I sign in later?
They move to your account. Everything you made on this device without an account syncs after you sign in.
Adding recipes
How do I import a recipe from a website or TikTok?
Tap + next to Your recipes and choose Import. Paste a link from a recipe site or a TikTok video, or paste the caption of a post. Yummii pulls out the ingredients and steps; check them and tap Save. You can also tap Share in Safari or TikTok and choose Yummii.
Why doesn't it work with Instagram?
Instagram doesn't let apps read a post's caption. Copy the caption and paste it into Yummii, or take a screenshot and choose Scan a recipe. If the recipe is behind the link in the bio, open the profile, copy that link and paste it.
Can I scan a recipe from a cookbook?
Yes. Choose Scan a recipe and photograph the page, or pick a photo. Text recognition happens on your phone; the photo is not sent to us. Check the result, text recognition sometimes makes mistakes.
The recipe uses cups and ounces.
When importing, Yummii converts them to grams and milliliters, with the original next to it. Prefer cups and ounces? Choose Imperial under Units in your profile.
Cooking and groceries
The timer doesn't notify me.
Yummii asks for notification permission at your first timer. If you declined, turn it on in Settings, Yummii, Notifications. For the timer on your Lock Screen, Live Activities must be on too.
How do I add a recipe to my grocery list?
Open the recipe and tap To list next to Ingredients. Yummii adds up the same ingredient in the same unit and sorts everything by aisle.
Can I share my grocery list?
Yes, with an account. Open the list, tap the icon with two people and send the invite. Whoever joins sees and ticks off the same list.
Friends and sharing
How do I make a recipe public?
Open the recipe, tap the three dots and choose Make public. It then shows on your profile, and your followers see it in the feed on Discover. Make it private again in the same place.
Who sees my profile?
Other users with an account: your username, name, bio, profile photo, your public recipes and how many people you follow and follow you. They never see your email address or your private recipes.
How do I report or block someone?
Open that person's profile or find them in Friends, tap the three dots and choose Report or Block. They are not notified when you block them. We review every report within 24 hours.
Account
I forgot my password.
In your profile, tap Forgot password below the sign-in form. You'll get an email with a link to choose a new password.
My recipes don't sync.
Check that you're signed in and online. Pull down on Home, or tap Sync now in your profile. Offline everything keeps working and syncs as soon as you're back online.
How do I delete my account?
In the app: Profile, Delete account. Your account and all your data on our servers are erased right away.
