Enable iCloud Sync

We rely on iCloud to sync data. If the iCloud Sync option is disabled in the app, it means the app can’t access the Apple Account signed in to iCloud on your device for some reason (technically, we’re checking CloudKit account status via CKAccountStatus). To enable it, check the following:

• iOS/iPadOS
• macOS

iOS/iPadOS

1. Turn on iCloud Drive (or the Documents & Data feature) for the Apple Account signed in to iCloud

   

2. Go to Settings → your name → iCloud → Show All and make sure you check Expenses

   

3. Relaunch the app so it properly reflects the change

4. In Expenses, open Settings → Sync, then turn on iCloud Sync

5. If you still can’t enable it, open Diagnostics in the same screen and check whether there is a warning or error related to iCloud or your Apple Account

   

macOS

1. Turn on iCloud Drive (or the Documents & Data feature) for the Apple Account signed in to iCloud

   

2. Go to System Settings → your name → iCloud → Drive or iCloud Drive and make sure you turn on Expenses.app

   

3. Relaunch the app so it properly reflects the change

4. In Expenses, open Settings → Sync, then turn on iCloud Sync

5. If you still can’t enable it, open Diagnostics in the same screen and check whether there is a warning or error related to iCloud or your Apple Account

   

If it still doesn’t work, try the following:

• Check Troubleshooting iCloud Sync
•  Sign out of iCloud on your device and sign in to iCloud again
• See if there is any error or warning for iCloud or your Apple Account
• Check if parental controls, device management, or incomplete setup for two-factor authentication might deny access to Apple Account credentials
• Restart your device or reinstall the app
