Backing up a BlueWallet wallet means saving the information that lets you recover it later — usually a 12 or 24-word recovery phrase (seed words, mnemomic seed phrase, etc), or another export format depending on the wallet type. If you lose your phone, uninstall the app, or need to move to a new device, this backup is how you get your wallet back.
Important: Each wallet has its own backup. There is no single backup for all wallets at once — export every wallet you use.
Open wallet options
From the home screen, open the wallet you want to back up. Tap the ⋯ menu in the top-right corner of the wallet screen.
This opens Wallet details — the settings and information screen for that wallet. See Wallet details for a full overview of every option.
Export / backup
Scroll down to Export/Backup and tap it.
Save your backup securely
The export screen shows a QR code you can scan to import the wallet elsewhere, plus the recovery words to write down manually. The orange banner reminds you never to share this information.
- Write the words down on paper and store them offline in a safe place.
- Never share your backup with anyone — anyone with these words can access your funds.
- Do not store screenshots of your backup in cloud photo apps or messengers.
Lightning and other wallet types may show a different export format (such as an LNDHub URL), but the same security rules apply: treat it as a secret and back it up offline.
