What does Restore purchases mean?
Restore purchases is the built-in iOS and Android store control that re-links an active Apple StoreKit 2 or Google Play Billing subscription after reinstalling or switching phones.
Modern mobile lifestyle platforms bill digital memberships inside native apps through Apple StoreKit 2 on iPhone and Google Play Billing on Android rather than browser card-checkout forms. Once verified by the platform's backend entitlement service, your active tier attaches to your member account across devices.
When you set up a replacement handset or reinstall the app on the same mobile ecosystem, tapping Restore Purchases prompts the App Store or Google Play to re-present your signed subscription receipt so the server confirms your active standing without charging you twice.
For household privacy, remember that store billing descriptors appear as standard Apple or Google charges on bank statements, while shared family accounts or email receipts follow your personal Apple ID or Google Play settings. Compare /membership and /answers/restore-lifestyle-app-membership-across-iphone-and-android.
Find your people, at your pace.
New member registration, when available, will be on the website and in the native apps; digital membership purchases take place in the native apps via StoreKit 2 and Google Play Billing. Existing members can continue using the website. At launch, member identity verification will run through an automated government ID, biometric face-match and liveness check by Veriff: from the current Veriff check JoinTheSwing never receives or stores the images — we retain the verification result, Veriff's session reference, a consent receipt and non-biometric review metadata. Members who verified through our earlier, retired in-house pass may still have ID, selfie or couple photos in our private verification-document storage, deleted when the account is deleted. The free launch list does not create an account, start a subscription or charge a card.
