Hi @IntuitSheila . Thanks for the reply.
Just to mention that "Update" the app did not resolve my issue. However, I can see the categories after uninstall/reinstall of the app on my iPhone. Might save some time for my fellow users
I have the same problem. Lost most expenses categories. Have been getting increasingly fed up with Quickbooks. Moving too Xero.
