VSCO Membership Not Showing After Purchase
Workaround available iOS, Android Updated October 21, 2026
Quick answer
Your membership is probably attached to another VSCO account or the restore didn't finish. Use Global Menu > Settings > Support > Restore VSCO Membership while signed into the right account, and make sure your VSCO email matches your Apple ID or Google account.
Most likely fix: Restore in the app.
Symptoms
You paid but VSCO shows the free Starter plan, 'Restore VSCO Membership' loads forever, Pro tools stay locked after restoring, or sign-up says 'You're currently subscribed to this'.
Why it happens
- Membership is on a different VSCO account (e.g. one created earlier)
- VSCO email doesn't match Apple ID / Google account email
- Email or device not verified
- You actually have Plus, not Pro
How to fix it
Try these in order — the most common fix is first.
1. Restore in the app
- Open VSCO and go to your profile
- Tap the Global Menu icon (top left) > Settings > Support
- Tap Restore VSCO Membership
2. Fix an endless restore spinner
- Force close VSCO and reopen it
- Verify your email and device (see VSCO's Account and Device Verification article)

3. Find the account that owns the membership

- Sign in with each method you've used (Apple, Google, email, phone)
