Remove a member or leave a household

The household owner opens the person on the Family screen and taps Remove [Name] from family. A member who wants out taps Leave Family in Settings. Nobody loses their own account or the banks they linked.

Steps

  1. Tap the menu icon, then Family. Tap the person you want to remove.

    A member detail screen for Jamie Rivera with an Overview tab showing name, email, accounts linked and status Accepted, and a red button reading Remove Jamie Rivera from family.
  2. Tap Remove [Name] from family. You see a confirmation: This will remove [Name] from your family. They will stop seeing the shared accounts, budgets and goals.

    The Remove Jamie Rivera confirmation sheet with the text that they keep their own account and any bank accounts they linked, a red Remove button and a green Cancel button.
  3. Tap Remove.

What happens

Leave a household yourself

It says I do not have permission.
You are not the household owner.
