Logging into mobile, apple id, email, all the combinations - does not bring back my pro account. I was logged out automatically by the desktop app, and when i tried to scan via mobile app to sign in again, it showed my account as "not pro" anymore.
Is there a way to use your user ID to sign in? Because for sure, I know that is the account for the pro subscription.
Is there a way to cancel and ensure your account does not auto-renew? how is this legal?
Hi,
This problem happens in CapCut where Pro account disappears after logout, especially on desktop, and logging back in with Apple ID / email / TikTok creates a new non-Pro account instead of restoring the original .
Why your CapCut Pro account “disappeared”
This usually happens because:
-
CapCut created multiple hidden account IDs depending on login method
-
Desktop app logs you out and fails to re-sync subscription
-
App version is outdated and doesn’t recognize Pro status
-
Subscription is tied to a different login provider than expected (Apple vs email vs TikTok)
-
CapCut server sync bug (very common)
Fixes to restore Pro
Update CapCut Desktop
Best method to restore Pro is to update to the latest version:
-
Open CapCut → Settings → Version → Update
-
Restart CapCut after updating. Latest version is 7.9.0
Log in using QR Code from Mobile
If your phone still shows Pro:
-
Open CapCut on phone
-
Desktop → Sign in → Scan QR Code
-
This forces account sync
Try Restore Purchase option on your Mobile
CapCut → Profile → Settings → Restore Purchase
Useful if subscription was bought via Apple / Google Play
Make sure you are using the original login type
If you paid using:
-
Apple ID → Must log in with Apple
-
Google → Must log in with Google
-
TikTok → Must log in with TikTok
Using email instead may create a new empty account
Clear cache / reinstall
Do not uninstall directly as it can break ID sync.
Mobile:
-
Clear cache → reopen CapCut
Desktop:
-
Update → Restart → Re-login
If nothing works: Contact CapCut Support
Send proof of payment:
-
Receipt
-
Last 4 digits of card / PayPal
-
Approx purchase date
-
CapCut ID
Email:
Support can be slow or unreliable, but it is the official route.
Can you log in using CapCut User ID?
Unfortunately: NO.
CapCut does not allow login using only User ID — only via email/social login.
This is a known limitation and a major issue with CapCut accounts.
How to stop auto-renew?
If you subscribed via Apple
Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → CapCut → Cancel
If via Google Play
Play Store → Payments → Subscriptions → CapCut → Cancel
If via Desktop / Card / PayPal
Log into CapCut web → Billing → Cancel
OR cancel via your bank / PayPal dashboard
If you can’t recover the account
Below options are generally what users do:
-
Cancel card to stop charges
-
Subscribe again with a new email
-
Keep receipts to prevent double billing
Can you share more details to help you maximize the chance of restoring it without repaying.
-
Did you buy Pro on mobile or desktop?
-
Which payment method? (Apple / Google / PayPal / Card)
-
Does any device still show Pro?
