What about Notes?

That's what we do a shared grocery list on so with it intended to be in our kitchen, that would be useful.

Apple Messages is not a thing in many parts of the world. Not having WhatsApp is not gonna cut it at the moment.

Hopefully the WhatsApp CarPlay integration works but still not ideal.

Why not use reminders for this? That's what we've used for years one for grocery, one for non-food... works great! I think apple even made it 'grocery smart' a few years ago... (I do recommend deleting vs 'marking complete' as you'll have 1000 completed 'milk' items being stored forever before long)
