I have QB 2023 V22.0.5 R6.1
I am the admin on the account but do not see where I can sync my company with the QB Desktop mobile app. Is that app only for PCs?
I don't see in my desktop menu under the Company tab dropdown anything about mileage except entering mileage rates and entering mileage manually. If there is not an option for linking to a mobile app will that be an upcoming feature for the Mac Desktop? Thank you.

Thanks for getting back to this thread, @Susan607.
Let me share additional insights about tracking mileage in QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.
The option to automatically track mileage is only available for iOS. You can only track mileage manually if you're using the Mac version. That can also be the reason why you don't have the option to link to the QuickBooks Desktop mobile app. See this article for more details on manually tracking mileage for Mac: Track mileage QuickBooks Desktop for Mac.
In the meantime, you may consider looking for a third-party app at the QuickBooks App Store to help you with automatically tracking mileage for Mac.

Hello Gebel Alaina,
