Switching accounts on Android

Last updated: June 13, 2026

Available on: Android

Signing into a different Wispr Flow account, or handing your device to someone else? You can switch accounts in under a minute from the Account screen.

How to switch accounts

Warning: If a different account signs in on this device, that account starts with default settings and the previous user's local transcripts and audio files are cleared. Signing back in as the same user restores your settings and keeps your transcription history intact.

  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 dialog. You'll see a warning that signing out will remove all transcripts stored on this device. When sign-out completes, you'll be returned to the sign-in screen.

  4. Sign in with your new account using Google, Apple, Microsoft, SSO, or Email. Your profile card updates and the dictation bubble reappears.

Note: Signing out automatically stops any active recording. When signing in with Google, Apple, Microsoft, or SSO, the spinner may stay visible briefly while your browser opens — this is normal.

Need a clean slate?

Each user account on the same device keeps its own settings and transcription history. If you want to remove all remaining local data and start completely fresh, uninstall and reinstall:

  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 new account.

Common issues

Bugs fixed in recent updates

Several account-related issues have been resolved in recent versions:

  • New account inherited the previous user's settings on a shared device: When a new account signed in on a shared device, it could pick up settings (such as bubble size, language, and privacy mode) left behind by the previous user. Each account now starts with its own default settings, and the previous user's transcripts and audio are cleared automatically.

  • Transcription reports failed to load after switching accounts: After switching to a different account, transcription reports could fail to load. 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, making them appear to float mid-page. Fixed in a recent release.

To resolve:

  1. Update Wispr Flow to the latest version from the Google Play Store.

  2. Restart Flow after updating.

FAQs

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

It depends on whether the same account signs back in. If you sign out and sign back in as the same user, your local transcription history, audio files, and settings are all restored. If a different account signs in on the same device, that account starts with default settings and the previous user's local transcripts and audio files are cleared.

Your transcript text and audio are never uploaded to Wispr servers; only usage metadata (such as app, duration, word count, timestamp, platform, language, and app version) is sent.

What settings are kept per account on a shared device?

Privacy mode, bubble size and opacity, preferred languages, context awareness, shrink-bubble options, education card state, data sharing consent, "show bubble without keyboard," and cloud sync state are all saved per account. When you sign back in as the same user, these are restored automatically. Privacy Mode also syncs across devices on the same account.

Each account has its own onboarding completion status — if a different account signs in on this device, that account will go through onboarding again.

What happens if I lose network connectivity while signing out?

Sign-out works offline. The app clears your local session immediately, and your server-side session expires on its own schedule. Sign back in once connectivity is restored.

Note: When you sign out offline, your server-side session isn't actively revoked — it remains valid until its scheduled expiration. On a shared device, reconnect to the network and sign out again to revoke it immediately.

Which sign-in methods are supported?

Google, Apple, Microsoft, SSO, or Email. SSO requires entering your work email to identify your provider. If your email is already linked to a different method, you'll see an "Existing account" screen telling you which method that email is registered with. Tap "Back to login" and choose the correct provider.

Email sign-up requires verifying your address. Use Resend if needed, and check your spam or trash folder. Email aliases containing "+" (for example, user+tag@example.com) are not supported. After verification, the app signs you in automatically.

Passwords must be 6–72 characters and cannot be identical to your full name (case-insensitive).

If your organization enforces SSO, email and password sign-in is blocked and you must use SSO. When trying to sign up with an email at a directory-synced domain, you'll see a message asking you to contact your IT admin.

If you hit a rate limit, wait a few minutes and try again.

What happens if my session expires?

You'll see a "Your session has expired. Please sign in again." message and be redirected to the sign-in screen. Your local transcripts stay on the device — they're only removed when a different account signs in on the same device.

Still stuck?

  • Sign-out stays on the loading spinner and doesn't complete.
