Troubleshooting

Login Issues

I can't log in

Check the following:

  • Forgot password? Use the "Forgot Password" function on the login screen. You'll receive an email with a reset link.
  • Google/Apple Sign-In: Make sure you're using the same account you originally registered with.
  • Internet connection: Login is not possible without an internet connection. Check your WiFi or mobile data.

Synchronization

Changes are not being displayed

The following steps may help:

  1. Pull-to-refresh: Pull the screen down to reload data.
  2. Check internet connection: Changes can only sync when a connection is available.
  3. Restart the app: Close the app completely (not just minimize) and reopen it.
  4. Update the app: Make sure you have the latest version from the App Store / Play Store.
Bills are missing from the Home screen

Possible causes:

  • Check filters: Look at the active filters (via the filter button). They may be filtering out the bill you're looking for.
  • Event bills: Bills created in events also appear on the Home screen — recognizable by the event badge.
  • Archived bills: Fully settled bills may be displayed as archived.

Receipt Scanning

The AI doesn't recognize my receipt

Tips for better recognition:

  • Lighting: Ensure even, bright light without strong shadows.
  • Lay receipt flat: Wrinkles and folds make recognition harder.
  • Portrait orientation: Photograph the receipt in portrait mode.
  • Fully visible: The entire receipt must be in the image, including the total.
  • Thermal paper: Faded receipts on thermal paper are hard to read — try stronger light or higher contrast.
  • Enter manually: You can always enter items manually if automatic recognition doesn't work.

Notifications

I'm not receiving push notifications

Check system permissions:

  • iOS: Open System Settings → SplitHappens → Notifications → make sure notifications are allowed.
  • Android: Open System Settings → Apps → SplitHappens → Notifications → make sure notifications are enabled.

Check app settings:

  • In the app, go to ProfileNotifications and make sure the desired categories are enabled. More details under Configure Notifications.
