How to use my wallet when I change my phone?
If you've changed your mobile device, you can continue using your D'CENT Wallet based on your wallet type as outlined below:
[For App Wallet Users]
The App Wallet must be restored using your 24 recovery words (mnemonic phrase).
- Ensure you’ve backed up your 24 recovery words from your previous phone
⚠️ If not backed up, recovery is not possible - Install the D'CENT app on your new phone
- Launch the app and select [Import Wallet], then enter your 24 recovery words
- Re-add your coin accounts to restore access to your assets
Go to the App Wallet User Guide
**🚨**Important Notice
Restoring the app via Google Backup, Samsung Cloud, or iCloud does not recover the App Wallet data. You must restore using your recovery words.
