Switching accounts on Android

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: Signing out permanently deletes every transcript stored on this Android device, on every sign-out, no matter which account signs back in afterward. Transcript text is stored only on your device and is never uploaded to Wispr's servers, so support has no cloud backup to restore.

To keep anything in your transcription history, copy it out first:

Open Wispr Flow and go to your transcription history on the home screen.
Long-press a transcript and choose Copy.
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 — it does not restore your transcripts.

How to switch accounts

Open Wispr Flow and open the dashboard drawer from the home screen.
Tap your profile card at the top of the drawer, or tap Account in the General section. The Account screen opens.
Tap Sign out, then confirm in the "Sign out and delete transcripts?" dialog, which warns that "Signing out will remove all transcripts stored in this device." Tap Cancel if you still need to save anything.
Wait for the loading overlay to clear. You'll land on the sign-in screen — that's how you know sign-out finished.
Sign in with your account using Google, Apple, Microsoft, SSO, or Email. Your profile card updates and the dictation bubble reappears, confirming the switch worked.

Note: With Google, Apple, Microsoft, or SSO, the spinner may stay visible briefly while your browser opens.

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 account switch needs no uninstall. To remove all remaining local data, including stored audio files:

Uninstall Wispr Flow: open Settings → Apps → Wispr Flow → Uninstall, or long-press the app icon on your home screen and tap Uninstall.
Reinstall Wispr Flow from the Google Play Store.
Sign in with your account. You'll go through onboarding again, which confirms the app started fresh.

Common issues

Bugs fixed in recent updates

These account-related issues are fixed in recent versions:

Style-personalization card reappeared after signing out and back in: The "Make Flow sound like you" card on the home screen reappeared even after styles were customized, because that state was not stored per account. It is now saved per user account and follows you across sign-out and sign-in; a different account signing in on the same device starts fresh with the card shown. If you signed out or had a session expire while offline before the fix, you may see the card one more time — confirming your styles again dismisses it permanently.
Confirmed styles briefly omitted from dictation after sign-out and re-login: Confirmed style settings could be momentarily missing from dictation requests after signing back in.
New account inherited the previous user's settings on a shared device: A new account could pick up bubble size, bubble opacity, preferred languages, and privacy mode from the previous user. Each account now starts with its own default settings.
Transcription reports failed to load after switching accounts: Reports now generate correctly after an account switch.
Onboarding buttons misaligned on tablets and foldables: The Continue and Next buttons were not anchored to the bottom of the screen on foldable inner displays and tablets, appearing to float mid-page.

To resolve:

Update Wispr Flow to the latest version from the Google Play Store.
Restart Flow after updating.

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.

Transcript text and audio are never uploaded to Wispr servers. Only usage metadata — app, duration, word count, timestamp, platform, language, and app version — is sent, so support has 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 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 saved per account and restored when you sign back in as the same user.

Onboarding status is also per account, so a different account signing in 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 its scheduled expiration. 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 tells you which method it's registered with — tap "Back to login" and choose that provider.

Email sign-up requires verifying your address; 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. If the link expires first, you'll see "Verification timed out. Please check your email and try again."

Passwords must be 6 to 72 characters and cannot be identical to your full name. 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 through directory sync 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?

A brief "Your session has expired. Please sign in again." message appears and you're routed 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.

In rare cases where your session cannot be renewed automatically — for example, after a long period of inactivity — the app signs you out entirely. Sign back in to continue.
