Using Mobile Wallet

How can I tell if I am using a Mobile Wallet or a Hardware Wallet?

If you are using a Mobile Wallet, you will see the Mobile Wallet label on the wallet home screen under the total balance.

If you are using a Hardware Wallet, the app will display the number of Tangem devices linked to the wallet.

Is there a limit to how many mobile wallets I can have in one app?

Yes. The Tangem app supports only one Mobile Wallet at a time. If you already have one, you won’t be able to add another.

How can I change the access code in a Mobile Wallet?

You can change your access code in the Tangem app settings:

1. Open the Tangem app.
2. Tap the three dots in the upper-right corner.
3. Select the wallet.
4. Tap Change access code.
5. Enter and confirm a new 6-digit access code.

Changing the access code only affects access to the app. It does not impact your private keys or wallet addresses.

Can I use Tangem Pay with a Mobile Wallet?

Yes. Tangem Pay can be used with a Tangem Mobile Wallet, provided the feature is available in your region. 

Note: your Mobile Wallet must be backed up before you can use Tangem Pay.

Are there limits on how much I can store in a Mobile Wallet?

No. There are no storage limits specific to a Mobile Wallet. You can store any amount as with a Hardware Wallet. Your balance is not limited by the wallet type.

Are there limits on buying, selling, or swapping assets with a Mobile Wallet?

No. There are no limits specific to a Mobile Wallet. Buying, selling, and swapping limits are the same as for a Hardware Wallet. 

Any applicable limits depend on the service or provider used (for example, third-party on-ramps or swap providers), not on the type of Tangem Wallet.

How do I confirm a transaction with a Mobile Wallet?

When using a Mobile Wallet, you do not need a Tangem device to confirm transactions.

The confirmation method depends on your security settings:

• If no access code is set, confirm the transaction using Tap and Hold on the Send button.
• If an access code is set, confirm the transaction by entering your access code or using biometric authentication (such as Face ID or fingerprint).
