Import a Wallet Via Secret Phrase

Because Web3 is an open ecosystem, most Web3 wallets allow you to import your wallet's address directly into other wallets, including Trust Wallet, anytime you want. 

The importing feature also gives you the ability to use Trust Wallet across different devices and platforms. For example, if you're using the Trust Wallet browser extension, you can import your wallet onto the Trust Wallet mobile app for iOS and Android—or vice versa. That way, you can manage the same assets on multiple devices.
