Unable to extend User model and see it in Django Admin

I've tried many things, but I'll write what I currently have implemented.

admin.py
admin.site.register(User, UserAdmin)

models.py
class User(AbstractUser):
 phone
= models.CharField(max_length=40, unique=True)

settings.py
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'user_text.UserAdmin'

I do `makemigrations` and I'm getting this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

django
.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: AUTH_USER_MODEL refers to model 'user_text.UserAdmin' that has not been installed

Some nice people on the internet have advised to remove the `AUTH_USER_MODEL` line in `settings.py`. when I remove that line and run `makemigrations` I get:

auth.User.groups: (fields.E304) Reverse accessor for 'User.groups' clashes with reverse accessor for 'User.groups'.
 HINT
: Add or change a related_name argument to the definition for 'User.groups' or 'User.groups'.
auth

 HINT

I've been spending a day on this, am really lost, and would love some direction. 

Thanks!
