Troubleshooting multiple subscriptions

Unable to switch subscriptions in the app

There are a few reasons why you might not see the subscription selection screen:

  • You’re logged in to a different account: Make sure you’re using the account associated with the subscriptions you want to switch between.
  • You only have one active VPN subscription on your account: The selection screen only appears when you have two or more active VPN subscriptions under the same account.
  • Switching subscriptions isn’t available on your device: This option is only available in the VPN app on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. If you’re using the ExpressVPN app on any other device, you will not see this option at login or in settings.

Missing features after switching subscriptions

If a feature seems to be missing, check which subscription you’ve selected in the app. You may need to switch to another subscription that includes it.

Important: The subscription selection screen only lets you choose between existing plans. You can’t purchase an additional subscription from this screen. If you want to add another subscription to your account, follow this guide.
