Switching accounts on Android

Last updated: September 7, 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: Signing out from the Account screen deletes the transcripts stored on this device. Transcript text is stored only on your device, so there is 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. Taps and the back buttons are blocked until it completes, then you'll land on the sign-in screen.

  5. Choose Google, Apple, Microsoft, SSO or Email. Google, Apple, Microsoft and SSO sign-in opens in your browser; return to Wispr Flow when done. Your profile card updates and the dictation bubble reappears.

Note: If you close the app mid sign-in, you'll return to a "Finish signing in" screen with Cancel and a "Try again" button. SSO has no "Try again" — restart it from the sign-in screen.

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

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. There is no server-side copy to restore, and switching accounts purges the previous account's transcription history and audio before the new account can see it. 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 — reaches Wispr's servers.

Are my audio recordings deleted when I sign out?

No. Sign-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?

These are stored per account and restored when you sign back in as the same user: Context Awareness, the "Help us improve" opt-in, preferred languages, output languages, bubble size, bubble opacity, shrink-bubble options, shrink-bubble-to-dot, shrink-bubble-in-search, show-bubble-without-keyboard, education card dismissal state, style-personalization status, onboarding-completed state, and the Notetaker-on-Mac banner dismissal.

A different account starts from app defaults rather than inheriting the previous account's values, and 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.

Some device-wide items are never reset by an account switch: in-progress onboarding step, mic-permission request count, the "first dictation completed" flag, app-version and first-launch bookkeeping, and review-nudge tracking. Onboarding choices made before sign-in completes are saved only once sign-in finishes.

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.

"Forgot password?" on the Sign in screen starts a reset with your email pre-filled. If your organization enforces SSO, signing in with email and password redirects you to your SSO provider.

What happens if my session expires?

You're returned to the sign-in screen. An expired session does not delete your transcripts — that happens only when you sign out from the Account screen.
