Why does my mileage tracker automatically turn off.

This isn't the experience we want you to have, @phil-ihospitalit. I've got some troubleshooting steps to fix this mileage tracker issue in QuickBooks Online so you can get back to business seamlessly.

 

As an initial step, we can clear the app's data to optimize its performance. Stored caches might be why your phone automatically shuts down upon doing the task.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Menu icon and tap Help & Feedback.
  2. Select Refresh Data.
  3. Tap Refresh to confirm.

 

Also, you'll want to open your QBO through a web browser and perform the transactions again.

 

If the issue persists after trying out those steps, we can try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Doing so doesn't delete any of your app's transactions. Thus, it lets you start with a clean slate.

 

You can read through this guide to learn more about recording business miles for vehicles: Automatically track mileage in QuickBooks Online.

 

Furthermore, you can check out this article that contains a comparison chart to give you more details about the available features in the QBO mobile app: Compare mobile app features.

 

You can post anytime if you have questions about managing your QBO app. Please know the Community has your back.
