Switching accounts on Android

Last updated: August 31, 2026

Available on: Android

Signing into a different Wispr Flow account, or handing your device to someone else? Switching takes under a minute from the Account screen — but signing out deletes the transcripts on your device first, so save anything you need.

Before you sign out: save anything you need

Warning: Every sign-out permanently deletes every transcript stored on this Android device, no matter which account signs back in. Transcript text is stored only on your device, so support has no cloud backup to restore.

  1. Open Wispr Flow and go to your transcription history on the home screen.

  2. Long-press a transcript and choose Copy.

  3. Paste it into a notes app, document, or email that is backed up independently, and repeat for anything else you need.

Note: Signing back in with the same account restores your settings — not your transcripts.

How to switch accounts

  1. Open Wispr Flow and open the dashboard drawer from the home screen.

  2. Tap your profile card at the top of the drawer, or tap Account in the General section.

  3. Tap Sign out, then confirm in the "Sign out and delete transcripts?" dialog. Tap Cancel if you still need to save anything.

  4. Wait for sign-out to finish; you can't leave the Account screen until it does. You'll land on the sign-in screen.

  5. Sign in using Google, Apple, Microsoft, SSO, or Email. Your profile card updates and the dictation bubble reappears, confirming the switch worked.

The Account screen also links to the privacy policy and the Android how-to guide. Tapping the profile card opens an Edit Profile dialog where First name is required and Last name is optional.

Need a clean slate?

Each account on the same device keeps its own settings, and signing out already clears the device's transcripts, so a normal switch needs no uninstall. To remove all remaining local data, including stored audio files:

  1. Uninstall Wispr Flow: open Settings → Apps → Wispr Flow → Uninstall, or long-press the app icon on your home screen and tap Uninstall.

  2. Reinstall Wispr Flow from the Google Play Store.

  3. Sign in with your account. You'll go through onboarding again, which confirms the app started fresh.

FAQs

Will I lose my transcription history if I sign out and back in?

Yes, and the deletion cannot be reversed. Your app settings return when you sign back in with the same account; transcripts do not.

Only usage metadata — app, duration, word count, timestamp, platform, language, and app version — is sent to Wispr's servers, so there is no server-side copy to restore.

Are my audio recordings deleted when I sign out?

No. Signing out clears your transcription history records, but audio files in the app's encrypted local storage remain. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage deletes them permanently.

The history list cannot be rebuilt from those audio files, so copy out any transcript text you need beforehand.

What settings are kept per account on a shared device?

Privacy mode, Private Cloud Sync when cloud sync is enabled, preferred languages, bubble size, bubble opacity, shrink-bubble options, education card dismissal state, and style-personalization status are restored when you sign back in as the same user.

Onboarding status is also per account, so a different account goes through onboarding again — including the style-personalization card if that account hasn't customized their styles. Stats such as word count, week streak, and words-per-minute reset on an account switch.

What happens if I lose network connectivity while signing out?

Sign-out works offline: the app clears your local session and deletes local transcripts as soon as you confirm, even if the server request fails. Sign back in once connectivity is restored.

Note: An offline sign-out doesn't revoke your server-side session, which stays valid until it expires. On a shared device, reconnect and sign out again to revoke it immediately.

Which sign-in methods are supported?

Google, Apple, Microsoft, SSO, or Email. SSO requires your work email to identify your provider. If your email is already linked to a different method, an "Existing account" screen names that method — tap "Back to login" and choose it.

Email sign-up requires verifying your address within 10 minutes; use Resend if needed and check spam or trash. Email aliases containing "+" (for example, user+tag@example.com) are not supported. After verification, the app signs you in automatically. Messages you may see: "Verification timed out. Please check your email and try again.", "Unable to reach the server. Please check your connection and try again.", "Session expired. Please sign up again.", and "Sign in failed after verification."

Passwords must be 6 to 72 characters and cannot be identical to your full name. Validation messages: 'Password must be at least 6 characters.', 'Password must be at most 72 characters.', 'Password cannot be the same as your name.', 'Passwords do not match.' The Sign In screen's "Forgot password?" link opens a Reset Password screen and emails you a reset link.

If your organization enforces SSO, signing in with email and password redirects you to your SSO provider. If your organization provisions accounts and you don't have one yet, you'll see: "Your organization manages Wispr Flow accounts. Ask your IT admin to provision yours, then sign in with SSO."

What happens if my session expires?

You're routed back to the sign-in screen. An expiring session does not delete your transcripts — they are removed only when you sign out from the Account screen.

Temporary network or server errors are retried automatically; you're signed out only when the session genuinely cannot be renewed.

Still stuck?
