Use your subscription on another device

A new phone or a second device, and which route works for a store purchase and which for a web purchase, step by step.

Updated October 9, 2026

The route depends on how you paid.

Bought in the App Store or Google Play

  1. Sign in to the same Apple Account, or the same Google account, on the new device.
  2. Install ForestVPN, open Account, and choose Restore Purchases.

Restore your Premium has the details and what the result messages mean.

If the app finds the subscription but Premium still does not switch on, the subscription is attached to an account number that this device is not signed in to. Use the account number route below.

Bought on the web, or one subscription across Apple and Android

Premium bought on the web belongs to your account number, not to a store account.

  1. On a device that already has your subscription, open Account and note the number down. If you never created one, Create makes it, and shows it once.
  2. On the new device, open Account, choose Sign in, and type the number.

Up to ten devices can share one account. Devices and linking explains how the link works, including the Apple TV and router pairing code.

The old device is gone

  • If you can still sign in to the Apple Account or Google account that paid, restore on the new device as above.
  • If you cannot, and the purchase was made in the App Store, an Apple order ID is the proof that works.
  • If the account number was on the old device only, see lost your account number.
