How to Install MM on a Mobile Device
Guide to Installing MetaMask Wallet on a Mobile Phone
Step 1: Download the MetaMask App
Open the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices) on your mobile phone.
Search for "MetaMask" in the search bar.
Ensure you are downloading the official MetaMask app to avoid phishing scams. The developer should be listed as 'ConsenSys'.
Step 2: Install the App
Click on the “Install” button to start the installation process.
Wait for the app to download and install onto your mobile phone.
Step 3: Setup MetaMask Wallet
Open the MetaMask app after it has been installed on your mobile device.
Read and agree to the MetaMask terms of use.
Choose whether you want to set up a new wallet or import an existing one.
If you are new to MetaMask, you will likely want to set up a new wallet.
Step 4: Secure Your Wallet
Create a strong and unique password. This will be used to secure your MetaMask mobile app.
MetaMask will generate a ‘seed phrase’ for you. This is a series of 12 words that will allow you to recover your wallet if you lose access to it. It is crucial that you keep this seed phrase safe and never share it with anyone.
Confirm your seed phrase** by entering the words in the order they were given to you.
Step 5: Start Using MetaMask
Once you've securely saved your seed phrase and confirmed it, your MetaMask wallet will be set up and ready to use on your mobile phone.
You can now view your account, your balance, and your transaction history, send and receive cryptocurrencies, and interact with decentralized applications (DApps) through MetaMask.
Important Tips:
Never share your seed phrase with anyone. It is the key to your funds, and anyone with access to it can take control of your assets.
Always double-check the MetaMask app in the App Store or Google Play Store and ensure you are downloading the official version to avoid phishing scams.
Regularly update MetaMask to ensure you have the latest security features.
