How to migrate Phantom to a new phone

  • Updated

When you upgrade to a new phone, you may transfer your apps and data using a cloud service like iCloud or Google One. However, wallet apps—including Phantom—won't restore your secret phrase as part of this transfer. That means:

  • The Phantom app will appear on your new phone after syncing.
  • But you’ll be prompted to create a new wallet or import an existing one the first time you open it.
