Summary

Setting up your Bitcoin.com Wallet app on multiple devices is easy. Simply scan the private key QR code to import it to new devices.

Please note that you will need to do this for each sub-wallet (e.g., "My BTC Wallet," "My ETH Wallet," "My BCH Wallet") within your Bitcoin.com Wallet app that you wish to access from your other devices.

Step-by-step instructions to set up your wallet on multiple devices

Start by downloading the Bitcoin.com Wallet app on your subsequent devices.

Next, follow the instructions below:
(Although this explains importing a BTC wallet, the steps are basically the same for ETH, BCH and other cryptocurrency wallets supported in the multichain Bitcoin.com Wallet app)

  1. Using your primary device (device 1), tap on the "Funds" icon at the bottom of the screen.

  2. Select the wallet you want to export.

  3. Tap on the 'Settings' icon at the top right of the screen (the three dots).

  4. Select "Show my recovery phrase."

  5. Tap "QR Code" (if you have a spending password, you will have to enter that now to display the QR code).

Now open the Bitcoin.com Wallet on your subsequent device (device 2) and follow the steps below:

  1. Tap on the "Scan" button in the top right corner of the homes screen.

  2. Scan the private key QR code of the wallet you wish to import.

  3. You should then see the 12-word backup phrase displayed. Make sure that you change the coin to the appropriate one if needed, then tap on "Import". You will now have the same wallet on another device.

Please note that if you want the wallet to have the same name on all devices, then you will have to re-name the new wallet after importing. This can easily be done in the setting menu of the wallet you just imported.


Just tap on the Settings icon on the top right of the wallet you just imported, then type a new name under the "Wallet name" field to re-name your wallet accordingly.
