Common issues
My profile picture or avatar isn't showing
Your profile avatar only appears after you claim a username. If you have not claimed one yet, go to Settings and select Create your @username at the top. See Manage your username in Phantom for steps.
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 will not appear. See My username disappeared after restoring my wallet for steps to fix it.
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 in Phantom, including your username, avatar, bio, and privacy settings. A wallet may or may not have a profile. 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 crypto using my username?
Yes. When someone sends tokens to your username, Phantom routes them to the address linked for that network. To manage which addresses are linked, see Manage linked addresses.
