Troubleshoot profile issues #
My profile picture or avatar isn't showing #
Your profile avatar only appears after you claim a username. Go to Settings and select Create your @username at the top.
My profile disappeared after restoring my wallet #
Phantom links your profile to the first wallet you restore. If you restored a different wallet first, your profile won't appear.
FAQ #
What's the difference between a profile and a wallet? #
Your wallet holds your accounts and assets. Your profile is your public-facing identity — username, avatar, bio, and privacy settings. You only get a profile after claiming a username.
Is my profile visible to everyone? #
It depends on your privacy setting. Public profiles are searchable by anyone. Private profiles are searchable but require a follow request. Invisible profiles are hidden entirely. See Manage who can see your profile.
Can people send me tokens using my username? #
Yes. Phantom routes them to the address linked for that network. To manage which addresses are linked, see Manage linked addresses.
