Moving to a new phone
Your account isn't tied to a phone number or an email, so moving it is just a restore:
-
Install boopr on the new phone
Download it from the App Store or Google Play and open it.
-
Choose to restore
Enter your 24-word recovery phrase. (If you set up a PIN, you can use your Recovery ID and PIN instead.)
-
You're back
Your posts, profile, friends, boops, and lists all come back, and you pick up where you left off.
Still have the old phone? There's an even faster way that skips the phrase entirely: Settings › Security › Transfer to New Device moves your account with a QR scan.
Your old phone gets signed out
boopr keeps your account on one device at a time. When you restore on a new phone, the old one is signed out and shows that the account was recovered elsewhere. If the old phone was in use recently, boopr may first ask it to confirm the switch: approve there and the restore finishes instantly, and if nobody answers it completes on its own within about a day. This is on purpose: it protects you if someone else ever tries to restore your account, and it means whoever has your old phone can't keep getting into it. The full timeline is in the complete guide.
What comes back
Your posts, profile, friends, boops, and your lists (including anyone you've blocked or muted) are all restored. Everything that makes the account yours follows the recovery phrase to the new device.
Lost your phone right now? As long as you have your 24-word recovery phrase, install boopr on any new phone and restore. The lost phone loses access as soon as your restore completes. If you never wrote the phrase down, there's no way for us to reset it, so save it before you need it. More on the recovery phrase.
