How to setup Flow Styles

Mac and Windows

Follow these steps to set your style on desktop:

1. Open Wispr Flow and click Styles in the left sidebar.

2. Click a category tab: Personal messages, Work messages, Email, or Other. Each tab describes which apps use that style.

3. Click the style card you want. Each card shows a preview of how your text will look.

Dictate a short phrase in any app in that category. If the text matches the style you selected, setup is complete.

iOS

2. Tap the Style tab in the bottom navigation bar.

3. Select a category — Personal, Work, Email, or Other — using the segmented picker at the top, or swipe horizontally between categories.

4. Tap the style card you want. A panel opens from the bottom showing style options.

5. Tap Save to apply your choice.

Your new style takes effect on your very next dictation. Dictate a short phrase in any app in that category. If the text matches the style you selected, setup is complete.

Bugs fixed in recent Android updates

The following style issues on Android were fixed in recent updates. Update Wispr Flow to the latest version to resolve them.

• Per-category style ignored — only "Other" style applied: Flow was not correctly identifying which app you were dictating into on Android, so Personal, Work, and Email styles were ignored and the "Other" style was applied instead. Flow now correctly identifies a wide range of apps and applies the right per-category style.

• Style change not taking effect on the next dictation: If you changed your style and immediately started dictating, the previous style could still be used. Style changes now take effect on your very next dictation.

• Very Casual applying as Casual: Selecting Very Casual incorrectly applied the Casual style. Very Casual now applies exactly as selected.

• Style reverting to Casual after app restart: A selected style could revert to Casual after restarting the app. Local style choices are now protected and are no longer overwritten when the app syncs with the server.

• Default styles applied before completing onboarding: Default style categories could be applied before users completed onboarding. Styles are now only set once you choose them during personalization.

Bugs fixed in earlier Android updates

The following style issues on Android were fixed in earlier versions. Update Wispr Flow to the latest version to resolve them.

• Style lost after a failed sync: If a sync attempt failed, style settings could be lost. Failed syncs now recover automatically on the next sync.

• Style not applied during transcription: A configured style was sometimes silently ignored when dictating. Configured styles now apply consistently.

Bugs fixed in recent iOS updates

The following keyboard style override issues were fixed. Update Wispr Flow to the latest version to resolve them.

• Style override not applying correctly: Keyboard style selections were not correctly mapped to formatting settings.

• Override changing saved styles: Choosing a style override from the keyboard incorrectly overwrote saved per-category styles.

• Switch-back alert not appearing: The automatic switch-back alert did not appear after a temporary keyboard style override.

My dictated text doesn't look different after I change the style

Styles only apply to new dictations. Test with a fresh dictation in the app category where you changed the style, and make sure you're running the latest version of Wispr Flow.

I want to use Very Casual for email, but I don't see it

Very Casual is only available for Personal messages. For Email, use Formal, Casual, or Excited.

I don't see the Styles option in my app

Flow Styles are only available when your selected language is English (US or British). If your language is set to English and you still don't see Styles, update to the latest version of Wispr Flow, then check the location for your platform:

• Mac and Windows: Look for Styles in the left sidebar.

• iOS: Look for the Styles tab in the bottom bar.

• Android: Look for the Style tab in the bottom navigation bar.

What is the "Make Flow Sound Like You" card?

It's an invitation to personalize your writing style. On Mac and Windows, it appears on the Styles page with a Start now button that opens the style setup flow. On Android, it appears on the Styles screen to encourage you to set up your styles.

I changed my style on Android but it didn't save

When you select a style on Android, a panel opens from the bottom of the screen. Tap Save to confirm your choice — changes are not applied until you save.

How does Flow know which style to apply?

Flow detects which category (Personal, Work, Email, or Other) the app you're dictating in belongs to, and applies the style you've chosen for that category. On Android, Flow recognises a wide range of apps — including messaging apps (WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Messenger, Discord), work apps (Slack, Teams, Zoom, LinkedIn, Notion, Jira, Google Docs), and email clients (Gmail, Outlook, ProtonMail, and OEM mail apps) — including web versions opened in a browser. On iOS, a temporary keyboard style override is used instead until it expires.

Do my style preferences sync across devices?

Yes. Style preferences sync across all your devices automatically, approximately once per hour. To force an immediate sync, restart the app on the other device. On Android, if a previous sync attempt failed, the app retries the next time it connects.

I already set up styles on one device — will I be asked again on a new device?

No. If you completed the personalization styles step during onboarding on a previous device, that step is skipped when you sign in on a new device. If you chose Set up later instead, you'll be prompted again on the next device you sign in to.

What's the difference between Flow Styles and writing examples?

Flow Styles let you choose a preset tone (like Formal or Casual) for each app category. Writing examples go further: by adding samples of your own writing within a prompt's settings, you teach Flow your personal voice so it matches your style more closely when polishing with that prompt. Styles set the general tone; writing samples fine-tune the output.

My writing samples aren't syncing

Writing samples sync automatically unless privacy mode is enabled. With privacy mode on, samples are stored locally and do not sync. To sync them, disable privacy mode in Settings.

I deleted a custom prompt and now my writing samples are gone

Writing samples are tied to the prompt they were added under. When a custom prompt is deleted or your settings are reset, its writing samples are also removed. Samples linked to default polish prompts are not affected.
