Flow automatically hides when you open banking or financial apps, keeping your sensitive information private. No setup required — once Flow's Accessibility Service and overlay permissions are enabled, banking detection works automatically.
Banking App Detection is a built-in privacy feature that recognizes 136 financial app packages across 9 regions. When you open a supported banking app, Flow hides the Flow Bubble and disables all activation methods until you switch to a different app.
Banking detection runs automatically. Flow monitors which app is in the foreground and hides itself when it detects a supported financial app.
Automatic detection: When you open a supported banking or financial app, Flow hides the Flow Bubble.
Complete protection: While a banking app is open, the Flow Bubble is hidden and text from focused fields is not read.
Automatic resume: When you switch to another app and tap into a text field that brings up the keyboard, the Flow Bubble reappears and voice input is available again.
All reveal paths blocked: While in a banking app, the Flow Bubble cannot be brought back — focus events, typing detection, and shake-to-unsnooze are all suppressed until you leave the banking app.
Context awareness suppressed: Flow does not read any on-screen text or field contents while a banking app is active. Both the focused field text and surrounding screen elements are skipped.
Silent operation: No notification or indicator is shown when Flow hides. The bubble simply disappears and reappears when you leave the banking app.
Warning: If you switch to a banking app during an active dictation, the transcribed text will not be inserted into any field. Instead, it is copied to your clipboard so you can paste it manually. Finish your dictation before opening a banking app.

Does banking detection work for all financial apps?
Detection covers 136 financial app packages across 9 regions. Apps not on the supported list won't trigger the hide behavior. Coverage expands with each release.
Can I turn banking detection off?
No. Banking detection is a privacy safeguard that runs automatically. There is no option to disable it.
My banking app isn't detected. What should I do?
Make sure you're on the latest version of Flow. If your app still isn't detected, contact support with the app name and your region so it can be considered for a future update.
Does Flow come back automatically after I leave my banking app?
Yes. When you switch away from the financial app and tap into a text field that brings up the keyboard, the Flow Bubble reappears automatically.
Does Flow hide for sensitive fields outside of banking apps?
Yes. Flow also hides the bubble for password fields, numeric input fields, and phone number fields in any app — not just banking apps.
Is banking detection available on other platforms?
Banking app detection is Android-only. On iOS, certain keyboard types (including numeric keypads, phone pads, decimal pads, and email address fields) automatically switch away from the Flow Keyboard to protect sensitive input, but this is not banking-app-specific detection.
This feature is available on Android only.
Banking detection cannot be disabled — it is always on for your privacy.
Detection is based on a predefined list of known banking app package names. Apps not on this list will not trigger the hide behavior.
Some financial institutions are represented by multiple entries (e.g., separate personal and business apps), so the 136 package entries cover fewer than 136 distinct banks.
Coverage expands with each release.
