Create a Wallet on Android
Open the MEW wallet app.
Click on ‘Create a wallet’

Make sure to read the safety tips! Then click ‘Create a wallet’.
Choose a strong PIN for future access and re-enter it for verification.
Wait for your account to generate, then select ‘Start Using MEW wallet’.
Back-Up Your Wallet
Please note: This step is crucial if you plan on using your wallet in the long term. We cannot recover your account for you, so you must keep track of this information yourself.
MEW does not collect any personal information about users and has absolutely no access to user wallets. We highly advise backing up your wallet BEFORE sending any funds to it.
After creating your wallet, a pop-up will appear giving you the option to ‘Back-up Now’ or ‘I’ll Risk it’.
We always recommend backing up your wallet immediately, however, you have the option to do it later by clicking ‘I will risk it’. To back up later, click on the 'Action required' prompt in the app. The recovery phrase can also be viewed in Settings.
Select ‘Back up Now’. Read the warning and then click 'Back up now' again.
Get a pen and a piece of paper then write down the 24 words that appear.
Keep these words in the same order as they appear, and double-check that it’s all spelled correctly.
Best practices would be writing this phrase down 2 - 3 times on separate sheets of paper, stored in multiple secure locations.
Pass a quick test on the device, and you’re done!
