Hope this is in the correct section - apologies not.

Does anyone else using QBSE burn through their mobile data when tracking their mileage? For example my latest trip- 35 minutes (17 miles) used 260mb of my mobile data…! Surely this can’t be right?!!

Hello there, @shamilt1.

I'll share some insights about using the mileage tracking feature in the QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) app so you can manage your mobile data accordingly.

The QBSE app's auto mileage tracking feature would need to use your mobile data to efficiently record your business mileage. You can learn more about the requirements for the best experience using the QBSE app by checking out this article: System requirements.

Also, you may want to check out this article as your reference to guide you on what to do if you encounter issues tracking your work trips on your mobile devices: Fix mileage tracking issues (The article is for QuickBooks Online, but also applicable for QBSE).

I'm all ears if you have other concerns about the mileage tracking feature in QBSE. You can drop a comment below, and I'll gladly help. Take care always, @shamilt1.

I understand that data is needed to track mileage, it’s the amount that needed seems excessive. Only an hour of driving per working day uses over 10gb of mobile data per month.

Thanks shamilt1, we appreciate this is a much greater volume and we'll certainly forward to our developers for consideration.

That’s great- I’d appreciate it. If there is an update to fix it- how would I know?
