Restore purchases on Wispr Flow for iOS
Last updated: June 20, 2026
Available on: iOS
If tapping "Restore Purchases" in Wispr Flow shows an error, or the restore seemed to work but your subscription didn't activate, this guide explains what each alert means and how to fix it. Most issues resolve in under 2 minutes.
Quick checks
Are you signed into the right Apple ID? Open iOS Settings, tap your name at the top, and confirm the Apple ID matches the one you used to subscribe.
Is Wispr Flow up to date? Open the App Store, tap your profile icon, and check for updates.
Did you subscribe through the App Store? Restore Purchases only works for App Store subscriptions. If you subscribed via the Wispr Flow website or desktop app, manage your plan there — this guide won't apply.
Does your internet connection work? Load a webpage to confirm. If it fails, the problem is your connection, not Flow.
Were you offline when you signed in? If so, no manual retry is needed — your subscription will be re-checked automatically once your connection returns.
How to restore purchases
Free or trial users
Follow these steps to restore an active App Store subscription:
Open Wispr Flow on your iPhone.
Open the in-app paywall. Tap the Menu (hamburger) icon and look for the upgrade button — its label may read "Upgrade" or "Get Unlimited Words." If you don't see it, go to Account → Manage plan instead.
Tap "Restore Purchases" at the bottom of the paywall.
Wait for the result. Wispr Flow will show one of the alerts described below — match it to the section in "Understanding the alerts" to know what to do next.
Paid users
If you're already a paid subscriber, you can still reach the paywall via Account → Manage plan and tap Restore Purchases there. Signing out and back in is often more reliable, because it forces a fresh subscription re-check:
Sign out of Wispr Flow, then sign back in. Wispr Flow will re-detect your subscription automatically. If your access is restored, you're done.
Contact support if your subscription still isn't recognized.
Warning: Don't purchase a second subscription to work around this — contact support instead.
Understanding the alerts
After tapping Restore Purchases, Wispr Flow shows one of the following alerts. Each has a single "OK" button to dismiss. Only the success alert closes the paywall; the four failure alerts leave it open so you can retry immediately.
Note: The support email shown inside alerts is support@wispr.ai (note: wispr.ai, not wisprflow.ai). It isn't tappable — read it from the alert and compose a new email manually.
"Entitlement Found" (success)
Your subscription was found and reactivated. The alert body names the specific subscription that was restored — for example, "Entitlement: Wispr Flow Pro Monthly." Tap OK and the paywall closes. No further action needed.
"No Active Subscription Found"
The alert reads: "We couldn't find an active subscription to restore for this Apple ID. If you purchased with a different Apple ID or the subscription has expired, please try that account or contact support@wispr.ai."
This usually means one of two things:
You're signed into a different Apple ID than the one you originally subscribed with.
Your subscription has lapsed or been cancelled.
To fix it:
Confirm the correct Apple ID is signed in. Open iOS Settings and tap your name at the top.
Check your subscription status at iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions. If Wispr Flow isn't listed as active, your subscription has lapsed.
Tap Restore Purchases again once the correct Apple ID is active. If the success alert appears, you're done.
If you believe you have an active subscription but this alert keeps appearing, contact support with your Apple ID email address.
"Purchase Found, Sync Needed"
The alert reads: "We found a purchase on this Apple ID, but couldn't sync your Wispr Flow subscription right now. Please check your connection and try restoring again, or contact support@wispr.ai if it keeps happening."
Wispr Flow detected a purchase on your Apple ID but couldn't sync it to your Wispr Flow account. This usually clears up on retry, especially after a network change or a brief wait.
To fix it:
Tap OK to dismiss the alert.
Confirm your internet connection is stable.
Tap Restore Purchases again. If the success alert appears, you're done.
Sign out and back in if the alert persists, then retry. Contact support with the email shown in the alert if it still fails.
"Subscription Linked to Another Account"
The alert reads: "This Apple ID subscription is already linked to a different Wispr Flow account. Please sign in with the account that originally purchased this subscription, or contact support@wispr.ai for help."
App Store subscriptions are permanently linked to the Wispr Flow account they were first activated with. You'll see this alert if your Apple ID's subscription was originally tied to a different Wispr Flow account.
To fix it:
Tap OK to dismiss.
Go to your Account screen and sign out.
Sign in with the original Wispr Flow account that owns this subscription.
Open the paywall again and tap Restore Purchases. The success alert confirms it worked.
If you're not sure which Wispr Flow account owns the subscription, contact support with your Apple ID email address.
"Restore Failed"
The alert reads: "We couldn't restore your purchase. Please try again or contact support@wispr.ai."
To fix it:
Tap OK to dismiss.
Confirm your network connection works.
Tap Restore Purchases again. If the success alert appears, you're done.
Contact support if the failure repeats.
FAQs
Can I transfer my subscription to a different Wispr Flow account?
App Store subscriptions are permanently linked to the Apple ID and Wispr Flow account they were first activated with. Sign in with the original account to use your subscription, or contact support for help identifying it.
I saw an alert from a previous restore attempt — is it still relevant?
Any alert you see reflects your most recent restore attempt. If you're unsure, dismiss it, update Wispr Flow if an update is available, and tap Restore Purchases again.
The support email in the alert isn't tappable. How do I contact support?
Read the address (support@wispr.ai) from the alert, dismiss it with OK, then open Mail and start a new message manually. You can also reach us via wisprflow.ai/support.
How do I change or cancel my Apple subscription?
Go to Account → Manage plan. Existing subscribers can open Apple's native Manage Subscriptions sheet from there to change or cancel the Apple-side subscription.
Is Restore Purchases available on Mac or other platforms?
Restore Purchases applies to iOS only. Subscription management on other platforms works differently.
Still need help?
Reach out to support if:
You've tried the steps above and the restore still fails.
