Why does the app take forever to upload photo attachments to invoices? Also why does the app constantly ask for fingerprint recognition while trying to upload photos?

I waste more time waiting for the app to upload photos to my invoices, that's if it actually uploads them. Then since the last update, it constantly asks for fingerprint recognition while it tries to upload the photos. This is supposed to save me time and less headaches, not the opposite!

Why does the app take forever to upload photo attachments to invoices? Also why does the app constantly ask for fingerprint recognition while trying to upload photos?

Thank you for reaching out, Tdillon. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback about the photo upload process. Your time is valuable, and we want to help ensure QuickBooks works as efficiently as possible to support your workflow.

 

We have some solutions you can perform to resolve the issue you're experiencing when uploading photo attachments to your invoices:

 

  1. Check your internet connection before attempting to add attachments. You need a stable connection to expedite the process.
  2. Update the app. Developers often release updates to fix bugs and improve performance. Make sure you have the latest version of the QuickBooks Online (QBO) mobile app installed on your device.
  3. Clear your app cache. On most mobile devices, you can do this by going to the app settings or application manager, finding the app, and selecting the option to Clear cache.
  4. Restart your device. Sometimes, simply refreshing your gadget can resolve temporary glitches or conflicts that affect the app's functionality.

 

If the issue persists, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the QBO mobile app, which helps resolve installation-related concerns.

 

Regarding fingerprint recognition, QBO now includes the Passkeys feature, which uses biometric authentication (such as fingerprint or face recognition) for enhanced security and convenience. This feature replaces traditional passwords and makes signing in faster and more secure.

 

If you’re being prompted for biometric authentication every time you upload a receipt, this may be related to your device’s settings. We recommend checking your phone’s biometric security preferences to ensure they align with your app usage. For additional assistance, you may also contact your device manufacturer’s support team for guidance.

 

If you have any other QuickBooks-related questions or concerns, feel free to reach out.
