Banking App Detection Support in Wispr Flow

Last updated: September 6, 2026

Available on: Android

Flow hides itself when you open a supported banking or financial app, so your account details stay private. It works automatically once Flow is set up — no configuration required.

How it works in Flow

Key behaviors

  • Automatic detection: In a supported banking or financial app, the Flow Bubble does not appear and cannot be activated — including shake-to-unsnooze. No notification or indicator appears.

  • All fields blocked: Flow treats a banking app as if no text field were focused, so the bubble is unavailable in every field, including memos, notes, and payee references.

  • Automatic resume: Switch to another app and tap a text field — the bubble reappears and voice input works again. This does not apply while the bubble is snoozed; a snooze ends only after 10 minutes, when you shake your phone, or when you tap "End snooze now" on the home-screen snooze card.

Important: Flow cannot insert transcribed text into a banking app. Finish dictating before switching to one if you want your text pasted.

FAQs

Can I turn banking detection off?

No. It is a privacy safeguard that runs automatically, with no option to disable it.

My banking app isn't detected. What should I do?

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 — see Limitations and notes for the excluded field types and exceptions.

Can I dictate into browser address bars and notification replies?

Yes. The bubble appears in the address bar of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, Samsung Internet, Opera, Vivaldi, DuckDuckGo, Kiwi, UC Browser, and Yandex. In an unlisted browser, it appears only if the field is declared as a URL/web text field. Notification reply support covers any app's inline reply on Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, OnePlus, Vivo, and Asus devices.

Is banking detection available on other platforms?

No, it is Android-only. On iOS, numeric keypads and email-address fields switch away from the Flow Keyboard to protect sensitive input, but this is not banking-app detection.

What happens if banking detection is briefly unavailable?

Flow will not incorrectly hide the bubble in every app. Password, PIN, and other field exclusions still apply.

Limitations and notes

  • This feature is available on Android only and cannot be disabled.

  • Only apps on the supported list are detected; coverage is added in updates.

  • 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, and the bubble may appear in a notification reply box even for a password-type field.

  • Detection requires Flow to be fully set up and running in the background.

  • The Flow Bubble stays hidden until onboarding is complete, and inside the Wispr Flow app it appears only on the Feedback/Report screen, Add Word dialog, Edit Profile dialog, and Report Transcription screen.

  • Bubble size is adjustable in Settings → Flow Bubble Size across four sizes (0.7x, 0.85x, 1.0x default, 1.15x), with a Reset button.

  • Dragging the bubble to the bottom target snoozes it for 10 minutes. Snooze persists across app switches and screen rotation, but is discarded if Flow's background service is force-stopped or killed by the system. When it ends, the bubble returns to the right edge.

  • Snooze cannot be started while accessibility permission needs attention ("Snooze is unavailable while accessibility needs attention."), and an existing snooze is cancelled if that state occurs.
