Text in a receipt

By the Mylo team · Last updated June 30, 2026

  1. Open Settings → SMS receipts and turn on Text in receipts. This records your consent (standard message/data rates apply) and shows you the Mylo number.
  2. Text a photo of a receipt to that number.
  3. If you add a caption, the expense is submitted right away. If you don't, Mylo texts back asking what it was for, and submits it once you reply.
SMS receipts opt-in in Settings

Photo (MMS) text‑in is rolling out by carrier, so availability depends on your number. Scan and email capture work everywhere today.
