When you move to a new phone, your apps may transfer through iCloud or Google Drive—but crypto wallets don’t transfer sensitive recovery data. That means:
- Phantom may appear on your new phone after syncing.
- You’ll still need to restore your wallet the first time you open it.
Before you switch phones, make sure you have your recovery details so you don’t lose access to your funds.
Migrate Phantom to a new phone
- On your old phone, export your recovery information (remember your 4-digit PIN, have a backup of your recovery phrase or private key). See View your recovery phrase or private keys in Phantom.
- Store your recovery information securely—preferably offline (on paper) or in a password manager.
- On your new phone, download Phantom from phantom.com/download.
- In Phantom, tap I already have a wallet, then restore using one of these options:
- Seedless: Continue with Email
- Recovery phrase: Other import options → Import Seed Phrase
- Private key: Other import options → Import Private Key
- Ledger: Other import options → Connect Hardware Wallet
- If any accounts are missing, tap your profile avatar in the upper-left corner, then tap Add Account. See Restore missing accounts after importing your wallet.
Note: For seedless wallets, only the first account is restored automatically. Add any additional accounts manually.
