Common Phantom Help Topics
Phantom recovery phrase help
Review phrase safety, phrase accuracy, and exposed phrase steps before trying another restore.
OpenPhantom balance not showing
If the restored address is correct but balances are missing, check Solana display state.
OpenPhantom wallet not loading
If restore is blocked by loading problems, troubleshoot app or extension loading first.
OpenPhantom support hub
Return to Phantom wallet support for broader restore and app help.
OpenRecovery phrase help

OpenPhantom Browser Extension And Mobile App Help
Phantom troubleshooting is safest when you separate browser extension state, mobile app state, selected wallet address, Solana network display, token visibility, connected apps, and recovery phrase concerns before reinstalling or restoring.
Phantom Troubleshooting Checks
Use these checks to separate ordinary setup friction from wallet safety risk before you reset, restore, reinstall, or open wallet support portals.
Official app source
Install only from verified official wallet pages or app stores. Fake wallet apps and cloned browser extensions can steal seed phrases during setup.
Network and token view
Missing balances often come from the wrong network, hidden token, different wallet address, pending bridge, or transaction not confirmed on-chain yet.
Restore vs password
A local app password is not the same as the recovery phrase. Restoring on a new device usually depends on the phrase, not customer service.
Phishing approvals
Be careful with wallet-connect prompts, token approvals, signature requests, airdrop claims, and pages asking you to validate or synchronize a wallet.
Device hygiene
Update the browser or phone, remove suspicious extensions, review connected sites, and avoid troubleshooting from a compromised computer.
Support boundaries
Official wallet guidance should not need seed words, private keys, remote access, or one-time codes. Keep screenshots free of private wallet data.
Likely Causes
Start with the most common causes before resetting the wallet, restoring from a recovery phrase, or trusting a support message.
Recovery And Troubleshooting Steps
Step 1
Compare the restored address
Compare the restored public address with a known old Phantom address or transaction record. Never share the recovery phrase in an issue report.
Step 2
Verify phrase source and order
Confirm the phrase belongs to the intended Phantom wallet, all words are present, and the order matches the original backup.
Step 3
Refresh assets after a correct restore
If the restored address is correct, let Phantom refresh Solana data and check token visibility before assuming balances are missing.
Step 4
Reject unsafe restore shortcuts
Do not use synchronization pages, validators, paid recovery helpers, or remote sessions that ask for recovery words or private keys.
Phantom And Device-Specific Help
Extension restore
Restore only in the official Phantom extension on a trusted browser profile, then compare public addresses before sending funds.
Mobile restore
Restore only in the official Phantom mobile app from the app store and avoid screenshots, cloud notes, and clipboard exposure.
After restore balance checks
A correct restore can still need Solana data refresh, token visibility, and transaction indexing before every asset appears.
Phantom Official Support Checklist
For official Phantom help, downloads, updates, or contact options, use Phantom's official portal and verified official channels. This page helps you prepare safe, non-private context before opening support portals.
Phantom Recovery Phrase Safety
No legitimate Phantom help should need your recovery phrase.
A recovery phrase controls wallet restoration. Treat it as private self-custody information and review how phrases work before using any wallet.

Describe Your Wallet Problem
Submit a non-secret wallet problem for moderated review and safer routing. PhraseWallet is independent and this is not official wallet support or emergency recovery assistance.
Never enter your recovery phrase, private key, password, PIN, or payment details.
FAQ
Common Phantom Help Questions
Why did Phantom restore a different wallet?+
The phrase may belong to another wallet, words may be wrong or out of order, or you may be looking at delayed token data for a different address.
Can my Phantom password restore my wallet?+
A local password may unlock one installation, but self-custody restore generally depends on the recovery phrase for that wallet.
Why are balances missing after restoring Phantom?+
The restored address may be different, or the correct wallet may still need token visibility and Solana data refresh.
Should I send my phrase to support to verify restore?+
No. Never send recovery words, private keys, wallet backup screenshots, or remote access to support or issue-report forms.
