Hello Pengling. You can only manage categories while using QuickBooks Solopreneur on a web browser.

 

From there, you can add an expense category, and the changes you make will sync to the QuickBooks mobile app.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Transactions and select the dropdown next to New transaction.   
  2. Click the Manage categories menu.
  3. Choose the appropriate expense type. In your case, Healthcare.   
  4. Hit the Add category button to create a name and add a description. 
  5. Once done, hit Save.

 

You can also edit, hide, or unhide categories. Check out this guide to learn more: Categorize bank transactions in QuickBooks Solopreneur.
