I am having the same issue as well and I did all the same things and it did not help. I am having a hard time getting a actual person to talk to in custom support.

I've called twice - the first time the call "got dropped" and the second time I was told it would be a 2 minute hold that took 13 minutes. I am seriously thinking of cancelling my subscription.

I'm having the exact same issue as well. Started on Dec 1. Obviously this is a problem on QuickBooks end. They wont fix it though. They will just leave their customers hanging.

Hello, grtservicesllc.

 

I recognize the importance of the feature that allows you to snap a receipt. I'm here to offer other troubleshooting steps to fix this.

 

If you are using an Android device, there's an investigation into this issue. Our product engineers are working on a solution. I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Support specialists to have your name added to the list of affected users and to receive updates as soon as they are available.

 

In the meantime, you can upload the receipts through a web browser or an iPad.

 

However, if you're using an iOS device, you can fix this by clearing the app's cache. There are instances when the app has a large amount of data, resulting in strange results. 

 

To clear the cache in your QuickBooks Online app, follow the steps below.

 

  • iOS - Tap the Menu at the bottom and click on Help & Feedback. Then select Refresh Data and Refresh.

 

To clear cache in your phone settings:

 

  • iOS - From your phone's Settings, choose Settings. Click on General and choose iPhone Storage. Select an app that's taking up a lot of space. To free up the Storage without deleting the documents and data for the app, select Offload App.

 

I recommend checking this article for more details on troubleshooting the QB Online app: Fix common errors in the QuickBooks Online mobile app for Android

 

You can get back to this thread if you have further questions about managing your receipts or other concerns you have. I'll be here to help.

This was kind of a blessing in disguise... I always got frustrated with the receipt snap on the app because alot of times it does not take good pictures or ill have to crop or take multiple times before it works. So glad it stopped working and i started using the forward email feature for my receipts. It is way better. I can use my phones camera app document scanner. Works a lot better then the app. Just go to transactions, then receipts on QuickBooks online. Select "forward from email. Create and email then just take pics and send them to the email you created. You can attach multiple receipts to a single email.
