A few quick answers

Their name is already in People. What should I do?

If it says Not joined, use the invite icon beside their name, then follow step 3. If it says Connected, they have already joined.

The invitation has expired. How do I fix it?

Invitations last seven days. Open Settings → People and use the invite icon beside your partner’s name to create a new link. Send them the newest link.

Why can’t my partner join?

A household can have up to two people. Your partner also cannot join if their account already belongs to a shared household or has financial records in another household. Keep their records safe and contact us if they need help switching.
