Move to a new phone

If you still have your old phone, link the new one to it. Linking copies your chats; restoring does not.

Before you remove the old phone: photos and files come to the new one only when it asks for them. Open the ones you want to keep on the new phone, or make an export on the old one.

1. Link the new phone as a second device.
2. Wait until it says "Your chats are on this device now."
3. Open the photos and files you want to keep on the new phone, or make an export on the old one.
4. On the old phone, open Settings, then "Devices", and tap "Remove this device". Confirm with "Remove this device". Open Devices

Only if the old phone is gone: on the new one, tap "I already use KUVRT", then "Restore from recovery phrase". This brings back your KUVRT and contacts, not your chats.

A restore cuts off every earlier device. They then say "This device was removed" and offer "Export your chats". If one still opens, make an export there first.

After a restore, your chats come back only from an export.
