Restore purchases on Wispr Flow for iOS

Available on: iOS, Android

If tapping "Restore Purchases" 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 store account? iOS: open iOS Settings and tap your name at the top to confirm it matches the Apple ID you subscribed with. Android: confirm you're signed into the Google account you purchased with.

  • Is Wispr Flow up to date? iOS: App Store → your profile icon → check for updates. Android: open the Play Store and check for updates.

  • Is your connection working? Restores don't complete offline. Load a webpage to confirm, then tap Restore Purchases again.

  • Did you subscribe through the correct store? Restore Purchases covers App Store subscriptions on iOS and Google Play subscriptions on Android. If you subscribed via the Wispr Flow website or desktop app, manage your plan there instead.

Note: Wait a few seconds after tapping Restore Purchases — a refresh already in progress ignores a second tap.


How to restore purchases

iOS — Free or trial users

  1. Open Wispr Flow on your iPhone.

  2. Open the paywall: tap the Menu (hamburger) icon, then the upgrade button, whose label varies. If it isn't there, go to Account → Manage plan and tap Explore Plan. The upgrade button appears only for Basic or trialing accounts.

  3. Tap "Restore Purchases" at the bottom of the paywall.

  4. Match the alert you get to its section in "Understanding the alerts" below.

iOS — Paid users

Signing out and back in re-establishes the account link that reconciles your Apple purchase with your Wispr Flow account.

  1. Sign out of Wispr Flow and confirm the prompt. You are not sent back through onboarding.

  2. Sign back in. Wispr Flow re-detects your subscription. If your access is restored, you're done.

  3. Contact support if your subscription still isn't recognized.

Warning: Don't purchase a second subscription to work around this — contact support instead.

Android — Free or trial users

  1. Open Wispr Flow on your Android device.

  2. Navigate to Account → Manage plan.

  3. Tap "Restore Purchases."

  4. Wait a few seconds — Wispr Flow checks your Google Play purchase history and activates Pro immediately if a valid subscription is found.

Android — Paid users

Signing out and back in re-establishes the account link that reconciles your Google Play purchase with your Wispr Flow account.

  1. Sign out of Wispr Flow and confirm the prompt.

  2. Sign back in. Wispr Flow re-detects your subscription. If your access is restored, you're done.

  3. 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

Only the success alert closes the paywall; failure alerts leave it open so you can retry immediately.

Note: The support address in alerts is support@wispr.ai (wispr.ai, not wisprflow.ai), and it isn't tappable — compose a new email manually.

"Entitlement Found" (success)

Your subscription was found and reactivated. The body reads "Entitlement: [your plan name]." — for example, "Entitlement: Pro." Tap OK to close the paywall.

"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."

You're signed into a different Apple ID than the one you subscribed with, or your subscription has lapsed or been cancelled.

  1. Confirm the correct Apple ID is signed in: open iOS Settings and tap your name at the top.

  2. Check iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions. If Wispr Flow isn't listed as active, your subscription has lapsed.

  3. Tap Restore Purchases again with the correct Apple ID active. The success alert means you're done.

  4. Contact support with your Apple ID email address if you believe your subscription is active and this alert keeps appearing.

"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."

Apple confirmed a purchase on your Apple ID, but Wispr Flow could not confirm an active subscription on your account. Restoring requires both; an Apple receipt alone doesn't unlock Pro. It usually clears on retry.

  1. Tap OK to dismiss.

  2. Confirm your internet connection is stable.

  3. Tap Restore Purchases again. The success alert means you're done.

  4. Sign out and back in if the alert persists, then retry. Contact support 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."

  1. Tap OK to dismiss.

  2. Go to your Account screen and sign out.

  3. Sign in with the Wispr Flow account that owns the subscription.

  4. Open the paywall and tap Restore Purchases. The success alert confirms it worked.

  5. Contact support with your Apple ID email address if you don't know which account owns it.

"Restore Failed"

The alert reads: "We couldn't restore your purchase. Please try again or contact support@wispr.ai."

  1. Tap OK to dismiss.

  2. Confirm your network connection works.

  3. Tap Restore Purchases again. The success alert means you're done.

  4. Contact support if the failure repeats.


FAQs

Can I transfer my subscription to a different Wispr Flow account?

No. App Store subscriptions stay permanently linked to the Apple ID and Wispr Flow account they were first activated with. Sign in with the original account, or contact support to identify it.

I saw an alert from a previous restore attempt — is it still relevant?

Every alert reflects your most recent restore attempt. If you're unsure, dismiss it, install any available Wispr Flow update, and tap Restore Purchases again.

How do I change or cancel my subscription?

On iOS, go to Account → Manage plan, on the screen titled "Plans." On your current-plan card, tap Cancel if your subscription is active or Resubscribe if it's already cancelled; either opens Apple's Manage Subscriptions sheet.

On Android, go to Account → Manage plan and tap "Manage your Google Play subscription."

For web subscribers, the "Go to the desktop app to manage plan" button is informational only — open the desktop app or wisprflow.ai instead.

I subscribed on iPhone — can I manage or view my plan on another device?

Your plan status — active, set to cancel at the end of the billing period, or managed through the App Store — appears on Account → Manage plan from any device or platform. A "Canceling" status reflects a pending cancellation you set through Apple's Manage Subscriptions.

Restore Purchases must be used on the platform where the purchase was made: App Store purchases restore on iOS, Google Play purchases on Android. Subscription management on other platforms, including Mac, works differently.


Still need help?

Reach out if:

  • The restore still fails after the steps above, or succeeded but Pro features aren't unlocked.

  • You don't know which account owns the subscription named in "Subscription Linked to Another Account."

  • You were charged twice, or an active subscription isn't being detected.

Include your Apple ID or Google account email address and the exact alert text. Contact us in-app via Account → "Report an issue" or "Leave feedback" (Get in touch section), at wisprflow.ai/support, or by emailing support@wispr.ai.
