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.
Contributor guide
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.
