Using Booth.Events Without an Internet Connection
Booth.Events works even when you're offline. Whether you’re in a remote area, at the edge of cellular coverage, or just experiencing spotty Wi-Fi, the app will keep running smoothly.
Here’s what to know when you’re using Booth.Events without internet access.
What Works Without Internet
Almost everything!
The app will continue to:
- Launch events
- Capture photos, videos, boomerangs, and slow-mo
- Let guests interact with the booth as usual
What Doesn't Work Without Internet
- QR codes (used for instant sharing)
- AI Portraits (requires live processing via our servers)
What Happens to Uploads and Shares While Offline?
Any shares (emails, texts, gallery uploads, etc.) will be queued up in the app.
As soon as the app detects a working internet connection, it will automatically start uploading everything in the background.
You don’t need to do anything except make sure the app stays open.
Do I Need to Trigger Uploads Manually?
Nope - just keep the app open and active.
Uploads will only happen while the app is in the foreground, so don’t press the home button or switch to another app until everything’s finished uploading.
How to Check for Waiting Uploads
To see if anything is waiting to be uploaded:
- Exit your event to return to the Home screen.
- Look for the “Uploads & Shares” section—it will show you how many items are still queued.
How to Pause or Delete Uploads
To Pause Uploads:
- Tap the pause button in the Uploads & Shares section.
- Tap it again to resume.
To Delete All Uploads:
- Long-press the pause button for a few seconds.
- You’ll see a confirmation—this will permanently delete all queued uploads and shares.
Important: This action cannot be undone. Any photos or shares you delete from this queue will not be uploaded or recoverable from your Booth.Events dashboard.
