I’ve recently purchased a new Android phone and want to transfer the BAT from my old device to the new one. I joined Brave rewards when it was first released so I’d earned quite a lot of BAT tokens that I’d very much like to keep.
I understand Brave had been working on a way to sync wallets across devices.
Can anyone tell me if this will be available in the near future?
I’m also curious how long will the BAT on my old device be preserved if it’s no longer in use?
New mobile phone. Is BAT transfer possible?

Restoring your previous wallet from your old phone will clear your new bat tokens earned on your new phone
Back up your wallet in new phone or spend the bat by tipping publishers you like or by verifying with uphold account
Next time when you switch phones desktops laptops and intend to continue using brave rewards from a previous installation or device please restore your wallet in the beginning when you set up brave for the first time .
