When viewing receipt photo, there’s no way to get back to the app. Has to be shut down.

Having to close the app each time you view a receipt is definitely not how we wish for you to start the day, @Anonymous. 

 

Before we begin, I wanted to check if you are receiving any error messages before closing the app? Or does the app freeze once the photo is open? Any additional details you can provide would be a great help to me finding the right solution for you. 

 

In the meantime, let's go ahead and try some basic troubleshooting steps. Such as resetting the app data. 

 

Don't sweat it, you won't lose any company data during this process. This will only clear the app's cache. The QuickBooks Online app plays the same role as it does when using a web browser. They both collect cache to save time when loading repetitive data and images. Over time these files can become outdated and corrupted, causing issues like freezing, or force closing. 

 

Here's how to reset the app's data: 

 

  • Android - From your phone's settings, select Apps (varies by device). Choose the QuickBooks app from the list and select Storage. Select clear data.
  • iOS - From your phone's settings, select Settings, then, 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.

 

You'll also want to ensure your app has the latest update

 

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your reply. Have a great rest of your day. Chat with you soon!

Hi Tori,

Thanks for your help. I tried everything you mentioned, to no avail. I have an iPhone. 
The receipt opens, I can zoom in, scroll around, but there’s no button to escape from this view. I can’t swipe down to exit the photo view. Is there something else I should be doing?
