Yes, unfortunately. If you have your old device we recommend manually closing out the channels on there to save on close fees

Saw that in the doc. Thank you. Will do.
Channels closed and more than 6 confirmations have gone. Funds moved on chain. Created a new wallet from my 24 words on my new phone, but not seeing any history or balance. Do I just need to wait?
Old lightning history won’t be restored, but your old on-chain history and balance should be.
The best way to restore it is to let the wallet run undisturbed upon wallet recovery. It will first sync the block headers, then a yellow sync bar will show to track your on-chain recovery status.
Closing the app interrupts the process.
Got it. Maybe I need to just leave it open for a bit.
If you don’t see the Recover status bar, I would start from scratch
