Start with the most common causes before resetting the wallet, restoring from a recovery phrase, or trusting a support message.
Phone biometric, screen lock, or app lock state changed
The app opens but local unlock or device access no longer works
The phone was replaced, reset, stolen, damaged, or transferred
A local password is being mistaken for the recovery phrase
The recovery phrase is missing, incomplete, or belongs to a different wallet
Fake support asks for seed words, remote access, or synchronization
A restored Trust Wallet view can look empty when the selected wallet, network, token visibility, custom token contract, imported key, or watch-only context differs from the original setup
A Trust Wallet app or phone OS update can leave stale cache, delayed token indexing, changed permissions, or background refresh limits until the app and phone state settle
