Description

### **Description**

Vault recovery is possible with a browser, however, for IOS or Android it is still lacking.

I lost access to my MM wallet due to the phone crashing and running into the "storage" problems.

I believe my seed phrase is wrong. It's 24 words long and is probably from another wallet.

Therefore I need to recovery the app files and somehow extract the original seed phrase.

I will retire my old phone, and save all the data on it, hoping I can recover the faulty data asap.

I bought buy a new phone while the other hopefully retains all the correct MM wallet info.

Edit: removed GitHub template.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the mobile vault recovery and app-file storage areas for iOS and Android, then compare them with the existing browser recovery flow. Define what recovery should support for corrupted app data and how seed-phrase extraction can be handled safely; the issue provides no file names or tests to run.
