How do I add a wish from a photo?

Spotted something you'd love in a shop window or at a friend's place? Take a photo and Snap a wish fills in the wish for you.

Snap a wish is in the Wishes app on iPhone and Android. It isn't on the website.

Snap a wish

1. Open your wishlist and tap the + button.
2. Tap Snap a wish.
3. Choose Camera to take a photo, or Photo Library (on Android, Gallery) to pick one you already have.
4. Wishes shows "Looking at your photo…" and then "Finding where to buy it…". It names the item, writes a short description and looks for up to three shops that sell it.
5. Under Where to buy, pick a shop to put its link and pictures on the wish. Or tap Use my photo to keep your own photo.
6. Check the name and details, change anything you like, then save.

If you don't see Snap a wish, update Wishes from the App Store or Google Play.

Good to know

• Snap a wish is for new wishes. It doesn't change a wish you've already saved.
• Your photo goes on the wish straight away. If Wishes can't find the item online, you'll see "We couldn’t find this one online. Your photo stays on the wish." Add a name and save it as it is.
• It won't recognize everything, so check the name and the shop link before you save.
• Wishes doesn't save prices. If the price matters, add it to the comment.
• It's free. Everyone gets 10 snaps a day. When yours are used up, you'll see "You’ve used today’s snaps. Try again tomorrow."
• Now and then you might see "Snap a wish is taking a break until tomorrow." Try again the next day, or paste a link instead.
