How to Fix Adobe Scan Continuing to Show Ads After Subscription
Question details

- Product
- Adobe Scan
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- The user upgraded to a premium subscription to remove ads and unlock features, but the application is not recognizing the active subscription.
- Observed behavior
- Advertisements continue to appear while navigating and using the application, interrupting the ad-free experience.
Ensure your device is connected to a stable internet connection so the app can successfully sync your current subscription status with the server.
Verify Account Login and Restore Purchases
The most common reason for this issue is being logged into the wrong account or the application failing to sync your recent purchase status.
In-app purchases are tied to both your application account and your device's app store account. Making sure both are perfectly synced usually resolves ad-related display issues.
Open Adobe Scan, navigate to 'Home', and tap the 'Profile' icon to ensure you are signed in with the exact email address used to purchase the subscription.
Look for a 'Restore Purchases' or similar option in the app's subscription settings to manually force a synchronization with your app store account.
Completely close the application from your device's recent apps menu and reopen it to apply the refreshed subscription status.
Gather Diagnostic Information for Support
If restoring purchases does not resolve the problem, you will need to gather specific details to send to the support team for advanced troubleshooting.
