Google temporarily removes Trust Wallet from its Play Store
Trust Wallet announced that Google had temporarily removed the Trust Wallet application from the Play Store, limiting access to Android users. The tech giant had previously notified Trust Wallet of the potential action, after which the dApp submitted an appeal weeks ago.
With no response from Google, the dApp was removed from the Play Store on Monday, April 29.
According to the dApp’s website, it has over 100 million users worldwide and powers the purchase, sale and holding of cryptocurrencies and NFTs, among other digital assets.
Trust Wallet offered its users an alternative, an Android APK to install on their devices. If the app is installed on the user’s phone, it will continue working normally. If users choose to uninstall the app, they wouldn’t have been able to download it until it was re-listed by Google.
Users need to be wary of applications posing as the Trust Wallet with downloads or links, as these could be phishing scams or scammers trying to steal data.
