Banking App Detection Support in Wispr Flow

Last updated: June 5, 2026

Available on: Android

Flow automatically hides itself when you open a supported banking or financial app, so your account details stay private. Once Flow's Accessibility Service is enabled, banking detection works automatically — no setup required.

What it is

Banking App Detection is a built-in privacy feature that recognizes supported financial apps across many 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.

How it works in Flow

Overview

Banking detection runs automatically. Flow hides itself when you open a supported financial app, and restores normal behavior when you switch away.

Key behaviors

  • 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 stays hidden and Flow is fully disabled, so it does not capture any text or screen content.

  • Context awareness suppressed: Flow does not use any surrounding text or selected text while inside a banking app. This is an additional privacy layer beyond hiding the bubble.

  • All reveal paths blocked: No activation method brings the bubble back while a banking app is active.

  • Silent operation: No persistent notification or indicator is shown — the bubble simply disappears. If you try to trigger dictation by typing in a banking app, a one-time toast confirms the bubble is disabled there.

  • 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.

Warning: If a dictation is in progress when a banking app comes to the foreground, dictation is stopped and the transcribed text is copied to your clipboard for manual pasting. Finish your dictation before opening a banking app.

FAQs

Does banking detection work for all financial apps?

Detection covers a wide range of financial apps across many regions. Apps not on the supported list won't trigger the hide behavior, and 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 hide for sensitive fields outside of banking apps?

Yes. Flow also hides the bubble for password, PIN, and numeric-only input fields in any app.

Can I dictate into browser address bars and notification replies?

Yes. The Flow Bubble appears in the address bar of supported browsers — including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Samsung Internet, Opera, Vivaldi, DuckDuckGo, Kiwi, UC Browser, Yandex, and Chromium builds — and in notification reply boxes. Notification reply support works across major Android OEMs (including Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, OnePlus, Vivo, and Asus) and applies to any app's inline reply.

Is banking detection available on other platforms?

Banking app detection is Android-only. On iOS, certain keyboard types — numeric keypads and email-address fields — automatically switch away from the Flow Keyboard to protect sensitive input, but this is not banking-app-specific detection.

Limitations and notes

  • This feature is available on Android only.

  • Banking detection cannot be disabled — it is always on for your privacy.

  • Banking detection covers a list of supported financial apps. Apps not on this list will not trigger the hide behavior.

  • Password, PIN, numeric-only, and phone number fields are excluded from Flow in most apps. Browser address bars and system notification reply boxes are exceptions — Flow still appears in these surfaces.
