The Solana wallet provider has patched the dodgy update, but that may not help users who have lost their seed phrases and have already installed the previous patch.
Crypto wallet provider Phantom has issued an emergency update for iOS users after reports that some users have had their app reset, locking them out of their wallets unless they remembered their recovery phase.
“We’re aware that a small number of iOS users are experiencing app resets,” Phantom stated on X on Nov. 14 before advising those affected to restore their wallets using recovery phrases.
The team behind the Solana-based DeFi wallet added that they’ve pushed a new iOS app update to prevent this from affecting any additional users. They apologized for the inconvenience, advised securely storing seed phrases, and added, “We’re committed to making sure this won’t happen again.”
