Flow is tailor made for you—use the following settings to perfect your experience!

​
Where do I find settings?

You can customize Flow by navigating to settings within the Flow app.

​
Language Selection

You can select as many languages as you want for Flow—or set it to auto-detect among our 100+ languages. We recommend picking the languages you speak most frequently for the greatest accuracy.

​
Keep Flow Sessions Active Longer (“Disable Flow Session”)

Want to turn Flow on less frequently? You can keep Flow sessions active for longer even when idle. Set “Disable Flow Session” to 1 hour or “never” to switch back and forth to the Flow app less frequently. Increasing this time window should not affect battery life or performance of your device.

​
Low Data Mode

Frequently using Flow on the go with choppy internet connections? Turn on low-data mode—with this setting, Flow can even work effectively on airplane WiFi! Transcription accuracy could be slightly degraded in extremely noisy environments.

​
Use Bluetooth Mic (turn off “Use Built-in Mic”)

The iPhone built in mic delivers the best Flow experience—it’s the fastest, highest transcription quality option. If you’d like to have Flow auto-detect your paired microphone, you can turn off this setting. We will be building in a selector for specific microphones shortly.

​
Casual Tone in Messages (gen-Z style)

Want less formality in messages? If you turn on casual messaging, Flow will use primarily lowercase words (except names) in messaging apps like iMessage, Messenger, and Instagram.

​
Smart Formatting

Smart formatting is one of Flow’s core features. It takes what you said and turns it into what you meant. In email or docs, Flow will automatically structure your message to sound more polished and professional. In Messages, it keeps the tone casual and conversational. It also adds punctuation for you—no need to say “period” or “comma”—and breaks your speech into clean paragraphs. If you change your mind mid-sentence (“let’s do taco night for dinner… actually, let’s do pizza”), Flow rewrites the message to reflect your final thought: “let’s do pizza for dinner.”

If you would like to remove all formatting and interpretation (not recommended) you can turn off this setting.
