Ensure that you have the account secret (Secret numbers / Family seed / Mnemonic) for your XRP Ledger account.

Configuring Xaman on your new phone
The first thing you need to know about getting Xaman (formerly Xumm) working on your new device is that you can not restore or copy Xaman from one device to another. Xaman needs to be installed fresh on your new phone otherwise you will see this when you launch the app:
If you are already at this error screen, uninstall Xaman then continue reading...

Just select one of the above links and press the Install button to begin the download.

Frequently asked questions
Why did you ask me to keep my old phone?
We have seen cases where people have forgotten their account secret or recorded their account secret incorrectly. Your old phone should still be able to access your XRP Ledger account(s) in case you run into any trouble configuring your new phone. Once you are able to access and sign transactions on your new device, you can uninstall Xaman from your old device or keep it around as a "backup" just in case something happens to your new phone.
Why can't I restore Xaman from backup?
If Xaman were to store sensitive data, (like your account secrets) in a Google / Apple iCloud backup, an attacker gaining access to your Google / Apple account(s) would be able to restore a backup of your device to their own device, resulting in the loss of your cryptocurrency funds.
This is why it's really important to keep your account secret stored offline, in a secure place.
What about my Xaman (Tangem) card accounts?
If you have Xaman cards, you will need to re-import them into Xaman on your new phone.
