Cannot view attachment in app

Previously I could pull up an invoice in the QB app, and look at the attachment.  I could then email or text it to someone.  I can no longer do that!! The attachment is there, but very small and I cannot click on it.  HELP!

Let's go through some troubleshooting steps together so you can view your invoice attachments, bexmg.

 

When the application isn't fully functional, one of the causes is the app's data. Here are some quick steps to fix most app-related issues:

 

  1. Close and restart the app.
  2. Clear app data. To do this:
    1. Open your device Settings.
    2. Select Apps (varies by device).
    3. Choose the QuickBooks app from the list, then select Storage.
    4. Select Clear data.
  3. Power down and restart your device.
  4. Uninstall and reinstall the app.

 

Alternatively, you can access QuickBooks Online through your device's web browser. For best results, use the following:

 

iPhone / iPad

  • iOS 11.1 or newer.
  • Safari browser with Private Mode Off to allow cookies which are required for QuickBooks Online.
  • Other browsers such as Chrome and Dolphin are not supported on iOS but may work.

 

Android smartphones and tablets

  • Nougat 7.1.1 or newer.
  • Chrome browser.
  • Other browsers such as Firefox, Opera, and Dolphin are not supported but may work.

 

Notes about Surface/Windows Phone 8

  • Microsoft Edge browser works on Surface.
  • Windows Phone 8 is not supported and will not work.

 

Once you've successfully logged in to your QuickBooks Online company, you should be able to go ahead and view your invoice attachments.

Once the issue has been resolved, you may want to personalize your sales forms to your liking. Here's a guide on how to do it: Customize invoices, estimates, and sales receipts in QuickBooks Online.

Well, I did all that, and even uninstalled/rebooted/reinstalled the app.  No luck.  I've attached a pic below.  You can see the attachment.  It's TINY on a phone or tablet, which is fine, because previously I could click on it and it maximized it.  At that point, I could text or email it.  Nothing happens when I click on the attachment any longer.  Help?
