Woah! that makes it impossible to recover if they aren't supporting the app any longer.
No... that is incorrect.

Mycelium uses BIP39/44... so you can restore your seed to ANY wallet that uses BIP39/44 and you will get your wallet, transaction history and coins.

Hi all

I had my bitcoins stored in a Mycelium app on my iPhone. I changed my iPhone to a new. Only did back-up thorugh iCloud. When starting up my new phone I realised the Mycelium app did not download any longer, and now see it has been removed from the Apple app store. How do I recover my bitcoins and get them in to another (safer?) wallet?
I still have the Bitcoin core logs of my transactions.

Woah! that makes it impossible to recover if they aren't supporting the app any longer. But I think once they come up with the wallet again on the store you could be able to back up your wallet if you have your 12 word key phrase. It never changes irrespective of the fact that you do number of transactions. But you must back up the key for it.

Ahh - actually I did. I did a back-up once and got the 12 words.
But then I bought some some bitcoins and didn't back-up. Can I recover my full Mycelium wallet if I install Mycelium on a Android app and then use my 12 word passcode?
This could really sve my day....
Also from Bitcoin Core I have my transaction id:s (all transfers to my iPhone Mycelium we done from Bitcoin Core on my mac.
Your backup seed is always the same. It doesn't matter if you made or received X transactions.

If you have your 12 words, install Mycelium and when prompted, choose Restore Backup -> 12 words -> And type your words. It should restore your wallet along with your Bitcoins.

Edit: I just saw that Mycelium got removed from the Apple Store. I made some research and looks like the wallet will be back at the store soon[1].

(not sure if you are the guy making the post but here it is. lol)

Only did back-up thorugh iCloud.
What the hell? Why didn't you just create a back up with your Mycelium. By that, there will be 12 words that you will take note and recover your wallet in any devices as long as you have those seeds. Mycelium is one of the safest storage of bitcoins but you don't know how to use it so its quiet nonsense.

Its impossible right now to recover your wallet without private keys or seed phrase.
Maybe you can be still recover it if you can get only the files of mycelium from your icloud backup.. But in order to install mycelium in your iphone you need to jailbreak your phone first and install mycelium that i think you can download in mycelium official site..
