Can anyone please help? My mileage hasn't been tracking for nearly 2 weeks. I have tried everything, all permissions are on but nothing is working. Any ideas?

I have checked my location is available and have green ticks beside all the permissions. I have also tried tracking individually but get nothing, even though the little icon at the top of my phone says auto tracking on. I'm out of ideas. Please help

Hi, I checked all of the above and it's still not working. I noticed the last update was on September 27th which is when it stopped working. Wondering if this might be part of the issue?

Hi jonnybegley-live We'd be grateful if you can try clearing the data from your app:

  2. Clear app data. To do this:
  3. Open your device Settings.
  4. select Apps (varies by device).
  5. Choose QuickBooks app from the list, then select Storage.
  6. Select clear data.

Hi John, I did all the above, didn't work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still won't track any miles, despite it saying that auto-tracking is on.

I really don't know what to do

I am also having the same issue, and the 27th September is when mine also stopped tracking! It will not even allow me to start/stop tracking myself!

Sorry to hear this mate but I'm kinda glad it's not just me. Gotta be something to do the update on September 27th. Just wondering what phone you have? Maybe that's the issue. I've got a Motorola

This isn't the experience we want either of you to feel, @StevieL and Jonny. Let me route you to the appropriate support for additional guidance.

 

Since you have already performed the steps provided by my colleague, I recommend contacting our Customer Support team to investigate your account.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to your QuickBooks account.
  2. Select the Help (?) icon.
  3. Scroll down to select the Contact Us button and follow the prompts.
  4. You will be able to request a callback or start a live chat with an expert.

In the meantime, you can manually track or record your trips by following these steps:

 

  1. Sign in to your QBO account.
  2. Go to Expenses, then Mileage
    Note: If you can't see this option, you might be adding a trip for the first time. In that case, select Add a trip manually.
  3. Add the Trip date, Start point, End point, Distance, and Business purpose.
  4. Choose the vehicle you used.
  5. Once done, select Save.

 

Additionally, if you're having trouble tracking your work trips on your Apple or Android device, you can refer to this article: Fix mileage tracking issues in the QuickBooks mobile app.

 

I'd be glad to help if you need further assistance tracking your mileage in QBO. Have a good one.

Mine just stopped working. I have a theory. I recently had my ipad on “always allow”, along with my phone. I believe having both on, corrupts the data. I just shut my tracking on ipad to off, while leaving my phone on. Lets see if that works

I’m having the same issue. Mine stopped on April 6. iPhone 16 Pro. I do not have the app running on any other devices. I’m going to attempt to follow the troubleshooting above, but everything I’ve done from this list so far doesn’t work. Also, there is no storage section inside settings, QuickBooks app so I can’t clear the data. Looks like I’ll be opening up a ticket.

Hello there, Lisa. I appreciate you sharing those details and for taking the time to troubleshoot this. You’re right about the storage settings on an iPhone, that menu works differently than on Android, which is why you wouldn’t see the same option there. The best next step is to connect with our live support team so they can take a closer look and open a ticket to investigate why tracking stopped on April 6. They’ll be able to review this more thoroughly and help get mileage tracking working again.

 

In the meantime, I recommend manually logging any trips to avoid losing data while we work on getting the auto-tracker functional again.
