Installing MetaMask Mobile

Install MetaMask Mobile from the Google Play store, as shown below.

Launch the MetaMask app.

Tap the "Get started" button.

Tap the "Import using seed phrase" button.

Enter your seed phrase and password.

Tap Import. Tap Done.

Tap "I agree".

Your wallet opens, showing a balance of 0 ETH, as shown below.

Your account is empty because the wallet is using the real Ethereum network, where ETH costs real money.

Tap "Ropsten Test Network", as shown below.

Now you see your balance, along with a highly misleading dollar equivalent, as shown below.

Click Next. Click Confirm.

Wait a few seconds, while the transaction finishes.
