When you connect Phantom to an app (dApp) or site, the app or site can see your public address and ask you to approve actions like signing messages or submitting transactions. Only connect to apps or sites you trust. 

Phantom doesn't support connecting to apps on the Bitcoin network.

Mobile app #

Connect to an app #

On mobile, connecting only works inside Phantom's in-app browser. You can't connect from Safari, Chrome, or other mobile browsers.

1. Tap the search bar at the bottom.
2. Enter the app's name or URL and tap it. If an overview page appears, tap Open.
3. In the app, tap Connect or a similar option, then choose Phantom.
4. Review the details and tap Connect.
5. If prompted, approve a Sign message request to finish connecting.

If the connection succeeds, the app shows that your wallet is connected.

Exit the browser #

Tap the × to the right of the search bar to return to the Home tab.

View your open tabs #

Tap the search bar at the bottom, then tap the number to the left of the search bar to open a gallery of your open tabs. 

Switch accounts #

If you connected with one account and want to use another:

1. Tap the three-dot icon to the right of the search bar.
2. Tap the account name at the top of the menu (for example, Account 1).
3. Tap the account you want to use.
4. Reconnect to the app with the new account.

Switching accounts disconnects you from the app. You'll see Connect or a similar option again once you return to the app.

Go back to the previous page #

When browsing apps and websites inside Phantom, use the Back button to return to the previous page in the current tab.

The Back button only works if you’ve already navigated to another page within the same tab. If there’s no previous page, tapping it won’t do anything.

Bookmark an app #

Bookmark apps and sites to access them quickly without searching each time. How you bookmark depends on where you are:

• From the overview page (listed apps): search for the app, and on its overview page tap the bookmark icon in the upper right.
• From the in-app browser (any site): tap the three-dot icon to the right of the address bar, then tap Bookmark.

To view your bookmarks, tap the search bar. Bookmarked apps and sites appear at the top, below any you've recently visited.

To remove a bookmark, swipe left on it and tap the trash icon.

Disconnect from an app #

If the app is open in the in-app browser, tap the three-dot icon to the right of the address bar, then tap Disconnect app. This also removes the app from your Connected Apps list.

To disconnect from Connected Apps directly, follow these steps:

1. Tap the profile avatar in the upper left to open the sidebar.
2. Go to Settings → Connected Apps.
3. Tap the app you want to disconnect.
4. Tap Disconnect.

To disconnect from all apps at once, tap the three-dot icon in the upper right, then tap Disconnect from all.

Delete browser history #

To clear recently visited sites, tap the search bar at the bottom. When you see Recent at the top, tap Clear All in the upper right. This clears your browsing history but does not close open tabs.

To also close all open tabs, tap the number to the left of the search bar to open the tab gallery, then tap the three-dot icon in the upper right and tap Close all tabs.

Browser extension #

Connect to an app #

1. Open an app. From Explore, search for the app by name, or go to the app's URL directly in your browser.
2. In the app, click Connect or a similar option, then choose Phantom.
3. Review the details and click Connect.
4. If prompted, approve a Sign message request to finish connecting.

Before approving any request from an unfamiliar site, verify the URL carefully.

If the connection succeeds, the app shows that your wallet is connected.

Disconnect from an app #

1. Click your profile avatar in the upper left.
2. Go to Settings → Connected Apps.
3. Click the app you want to disconnect.
4. Click Disconnect.

To disconnect from all apps at once, select the three-dot icon in the upper right, then click Disconnect from all.

Delete browser history #

To delete browser history, follow the instructions for your browser.

View the apps you connected to #

To view apps you've connected to in the past, go to Settings → Connected Apps on the mobile app or browser extension. Each platform shows only the apps you connected on that platform, so apps you connected on mobile don't appear on the extension, and the other way around.

Revoke signing permissions #

Apps you've connected through Phantom can request to sign messages and submit transactions on your behalf. You can revoke this access for all connected apps at once without disconnecting them. The steps are similar on the mobile app and browser extension.

1. Go to Settings → Connected Apps.
2. Select the three-dot icon in the upper right.
3. Select Revoke permissions for all.

The apps stay in your Connected Apps list but can no longer sign on your behalf until you reconnect or re-approve.

Troubleshoot app connection #

I don't see a connection popup #

Mobile app: you may be trying to connect from an external browser. On mobile, connecting only works inside Phantom's in-app browser. Use the search bar to open the site inside Phantom.

Browser extension: quit and reopen your browser, then try again. If you're using Safari, switch to Chrome. Safari isn't supported.

I see "Failed app interaction," "Couldn't connect," or get stuck on "Connecting" #

These errors are often temporary. Quit and reopen your browser, then try again. If the problem persists, reset Phantom.

I see "null" trying to connect #

The browser extension may be in a bad state, or your browser may be blocking the connection.

1. Quit and reopen your browser.
2. If the issue seems to be with the app, clear your browser cache or the site's cookies, then try again.
3. If the problem persists, reset Phantom.

I want to use my own mobile browser instead of Phantom's in-app browser #

This isn't supported. Other mobile browsers may redirect you to download Phantom, which is expected. Use the search bar to open the site inside Phantom instead.
