Google Pay blocks a UPI payment while Wispr Flow is enabled on Android
Last updated: November 13, 2026
Applies to: Android phones using Google Pay in India.
Google Pay may block a UPI payment while Wispr Flow's accessibility access is on, showing a message about apps being able to access your screen and sending you to Android's Accessibility settings, sometimes even after you enter your UPI PIN. This affects some phones, not all. Turn Flow's accessibility access off to pay, then turn it back on.
Complete your payment
Warning: While accessibility access is off, Flow cannot insert dictated text into other apps on that phone. Turn it back on after you finish paying. You do not need to uninstall Flow.
Open your phone's Settings → Accessibility.
Select Wispr Flow, under Installed apps or Downloaded apps on some phones, or directly in the Accessibility list.
Turn off Wispr Flow's accessibility service, labeled Use Wispr Flow on some phones.
Return to Google Pay and try the payment again. If it completes, go to the next section.
Restart your phone if the same accessibility warning still blocks payment, keeping Flow's accessibility service off while you retry.
Turn Flow back on after paying
Return to Settings → Accessibility → Wispr Flow, opening Installed apps or Downloaded apps first if needed.
Turn on the main accessibility service, Use Wispr Flow, and confirm the Android permission prompt if shown. Leave the separate Wispr Flow shortcut toggle off.
Open Flow and dictate into a text field in another app, such as a notes app. If your words appear, access is restored.
For help finding the permission controls, see Set up Wispr Flow on Android.
