Circumventing legislation is illegal…
Probably wrong choice of words, but I can’t imagine there’s anything that says that Monzo have to display your full account balance in that particular place. There is surely room for movement

Great for an initial release. Slight bug when first using as the edit button is in the wrong place but navigating to a previous screen and back in solves that.
One bit of polish I think it needs is when hitting the ‘x hidden pots’ text under the pot list, it should just show the hidden pots in the list (the same as the pots above) but greyed out rather than taking you to the edit pots screen. Mocked it up very quickly, something like below. Forgot to remove the hidden pots link but you get the jist of it.
Something else that I think would would make life easier is if we can add to hidden pots without having to make the pot visible again… unless I’m missing this functionality already, I can’t seem to find how to do it just yet

Hi Chris, I made a small change that might fix what could be causing this. Could you try again? I would recommend killing & restarting the app to be sure.
This was a product decision, unfortunately it’s not possible to come up with a simple solution that everyone would be happy with here. If the feedback indicates that most people would prefer the total to exclude hidden accounts I don’t see why we couldn’t change how it behaves.
Personally I’m not aware of any legislative reason we wouldn’t be able to do this as we didn’t even show your total balance for a while when the new layout was released. For a comprehensive and fully accurate view of all your money movements you can always generate a bank statement.
Can the user not be given the option in the “edit” screen? That would make everyone happy right?

Whatever you’ve done has worked 
thank you!
I’m one for this. If I hide the pot, I want the cash in the pot not to appear in the total!

This is actually not a bug, the edit button is meant to appear beneath at the end of the list of all your accounts as that’s the only thing possible to edit. I can see how it can look unexpected though.
If there’s a vote going on for the account total.
Hidden pots are hidden from the total. Real account total revealed in the “edit” screen
I vote for hidden pots total to be included in the total. That allows me to hide my scheduled payments pot, which I don’t need to see but still see how much money I have in my Monzo accounts overall.

Someone will suggest a toggle any minute now

Let’s do a quick poll! I can’t guarantee we will implement the result, but it would be great to figure out the general sentiment.
How should the total amount work with hidden pots?
- Hidden pots are removed from the total amount
- Hidden pots remain in the total amount

@robinb Thanks for the response, It seems there’s a few +1s for it already which hopefully is promising.
Is there an issue with giving people a choice? I know we don’t want an app full of toggles but surely given we have an edit screen solely for this particular feature, a toggle in there for “Hide Hidden pot Balances from total” would be the perfect solution in this scenario?
I was a bit sceptical of a legislative reasoning so thanks for clearing that up.
I think this just falls down to why would be people want to hide pots, I sort of see this as a fundamental, but like I said before I can see it from both sides.
Thanks for your work on this 
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for enough interest on the balance thing

I want it in the total.
I want to see how much money I have overall. Not have to unhide all the pots to see my current wealth across all pots.
