What happens when recording an expense while there is no internet connection?

When you record an expense while the device is not connected to the internet, the expense is saved on your device normally, but it is not uploaded immediately to your account. In this case, the expense appears with a “Syncing” status, which means it is pending sync (either because there is no connection available, or because the upload is still in progress).

Once the internet connection is restored, you can sync the expense using one of two methods:

  • Manual sync for a single expense: Open the expense, tap the “More Options” icon (), then select “Sync“.
  • Bulk sync: From the “Account” screen, tap the “Sync” option to upload all pending expenses at once.

After a successful sync, the expense status changes to “Synced” (a green cloud icon with a ✓ mark), and it becomes linked to your account and visible to other users. If the sync fails for a reason other than connectivity, the status changes to “Failed”, and you can retry using the same method.
