<p>I purchased Bitcoin back in 2018. I have no record or recollection of how it was stored, but I do know it was never transferred to a physical wallet. At one point I was trading via an online exchange on my phone, but I can no longer log onto to any of the crypto apps I have on my phone from back then (and many of them no longer exist in the app store).

# Locating Bitcoin with only seed phrase

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-11-10)

I purchased Bitcoin back in 2018. I have no record or recollection of how it was stored, but I do know it was never transferred to a physical wallet. At one point I was trading via an online exchange on my phone, but I can no longer log onto to any of the crypto apps I have on my phone from back then (and many of them no longer exist in the app store). I do however have the 12-word seed phrase. Is there any way I can access the BTC with this alone?

Any assistance much appreciated.

Thanks!
