Trust Wallet Recovery

Trust Wallet stores everything on the device — that's the tradeoff for self-custody on mobile. When the phone dies, the app gets uninstalled, or the seed backup wasn't taken, the recovery path is mobile forensics, not a support ticket.

> how Trust Wallet stores your keys

Trust Wallet encrypts your seed with your app password and stores the ciphertext in the app's private data directory. On Android it's under /data/data/com.wallet.crypto.trustapp/. On iOS it's in the app's protected keystore. Recovery means getting that ciphertext off the device and running password/passphrase recovery against it — or, if the device is gone, reconstructing from backups.

> android recovery paths

· Device rooted → full extraction possible. · Device unrooted, app data backup enabled → often extractable via ADB or a Google account backup. · Device factory-reset with FBE encryption → very difficult, but not always impossible. · Uninstalled but device intact → app data may persist for weeks; act fast.

> ios recovery paths

· iTunes / Finder encrypted backup → we can attempt to extract from the backup with your Apple ID password. · iCloud backup → same, requires your credentials. · Physical device access → the iOS keystore is very hard to attack; we don't oversell here. · Factory-reset iPhone → essentially not recoverable.

> the scam warning

Trust Wallet users are the #1 target of "recovery service" scams on Telegram and X/Twitter. Rules: · No legitimate service will ever DM you first offering to recover your wallet. · No legitimate service asks for your seed phrase. Not us. Not anyone. · No legitimate service asks for an upfront fee to "unlock" or "validate" your wallet. If someone breaks any of these rules, they are stealing from you.

Q: I uninstalled Trust Wallet without backing up the seed — is it gone?
Maybe not. On some Android versions, the encrypted keystore persists in app-data backups. On iOS, iCloud backups sometimes retain it. We'll check during free assessment.
Q: I have the seed but forgot the app password.
The seed IS your wallet — the app password is only a local convenience. Install Trust Wallet fresh on any device and restore with your seed. You don't need us for this.
Q: I lost my phone. What can I do?
If you have the seed phrase — nothing to worry about, restore anywhere. If you don't have the seed and can't get the phone back, contact us with the device model, carrier, and last known state.
Q: Can you recover from a factory-reset phone?
Sometimes. Depends on Android version, encryption state, and whether the device was ever rooted. iOS post-reset recovery is very rarely possible.
Q: Cost?
Free assessment. Success-only fee (typically 15–20%). No recovery, no fee.
