Hi when will customise spending categories come to joint accounts please?

Hi @ahynd & welcome 
While a fair number of people want this (myself included), there has been no development - or release - timescales issued officially.
Vote for the Plus/Premium features on a Joint account here, which includes custom categories, and hopefully the growing votes will put increased focus on what is requested (no guarantees!):
@ahynd Yeah, we have been asking for years. And they apparentyl have this in the US. The UK team seems to just refuse to take the time to create it. Humph.
Just noticed that this is ranked #2 of all time viewed topics*
*That aren’t locked.

It feels like they’re only working on minor periperhal features tbh. We will get some drop-feed of “here’s something that now works that you don’t even use on your main account because it was easy for us to fix”. Whereas custom categories (previously a most-voted-for topic, back in its day), and virtual cards will be kicked into the long grass forever.
Incoming!

I was able to see custom categories when I go to edit one of my joint account transactions. However end up with an error ,so I am hoping this is imminent!

Has anyone deleted app, restart phone and then reinstall to see if that kickstarts the JA categories?
Do both users have to have Plus to have custom categories? (If indeed they’re working / coming)?
I don’t have a clue, just curious at resolution.
I don’t have a joint account with monzo, though I’d like to think just one person would need it.
Saying that, there could be an error because the other person doesn’t have it, but then Monzo makes £10 a month not £5 a month, and can’t imagine many people will buy into that.
We both have Plus but I can’t change to a custom category on the JA.
I wonder if we both had a custom one with the same name 
Oh my, I have custom categories for my joint account even though my partner does not have Plus. That was definitely not the case until this last day or so as I changed some just earlier
Does the other person get to change transactions too, even though they don’t have Plus? And, do they see them.

Scrub that Saturday marathon, I do see the categories, but I get the error on actually making the change as per @pnadkarni
I shall check soon what they see, but as I have just discovered, it is not fully working

What was the point of this thread? They build some momentum on round about the most requested thing on Monzo which is feature parity for joint accounts and the ghost the lot of us 
I just want to request money from a Nonzo user from my joint account. Why is that so hard to do?!

Maybe I misunderstand what you want to do…but you can request money from a Monzo user in your joint account…
Nonzo as in not on Monzo. Sharing a link or QR code only works from single accounts.
The specific feature request (which we both voted for), was originally posted in 2018 and was subsequently closed at the start of 2021…
So instead, you could vote (I did) for Parity between Personal & Joint Accounts:
Except that was closed in 2021 too. Both suffered the lethally efficient @Feathers forum clean-up.
