How to Download, Install, and Create Trust Wallet on Android and iPhone

Trust Wallet is a free mobile non-custodial crypto wallet for Android and iPhone. The app can be installed from official stores, and on Android, also via the official APK.

The official Trust Wallet download page is located at trustwallet.com/download. From it, you can navigate to the App Store for iPhone, Google Play for Android, open the browser extension page, or download the official APK for Android.

For a phone, it is better to use links from the official Trust Wallet page. Third-party APK directories, advertisements, and clone sites should not be used: a fake app can look almost identical to the real one.

Trust Wallet is also available as a browser extension, so a separate version of Trust Wallet on PC and in a browser is used for computers.

The primary installation method on Android is via Google Play.

1. Open the official Trust Wallet Download page.
2. Click Download for Android.
3. On the Google Play page, verify the app and click "Install".
4. After the installation is complete, open Trust Wallet.

The app is distributed for free. There is no fee for downloading and creating a standard wallet itself.

If Google Play is unavailable on the device, Trust Wallet can be installed via the official APK.

1. Open trustwallet.com/download.
2. Select Download APK for Android.
3. Allow the installation of apps from this source if Android requests such permission.
4. Install the file and open Trust Wallet.

The APK should only be downloaded from the official Trust Wallet page. Using old, modified, and third-party builds is not recommended.

On iPhone, Trust Wallet is installed via the App Store.

1. Open the official Trust Wallet Download page.
2. Select Download for iOS.
3. Go to the App Store.
4. Click "Get" (or "Download") and confirm the installation via Face ID, Touch ID, or Apple ID password.
5. After installation, open Trust Wallet.

If the app was found through the App Store search, it is still useful to cross-check it with the link from the official Trust Wallet page.

Various types of wallets are available in Trust Wallet. Below is the creation of a standard self-custody wallet with a 12-word secret phrase. SWIFT is protected by a passkey and does not use the standard 12-word phrase.

1. Open Trust Wallet and select Create a New Wallet.
2. Set up a passcode for the app.
3. Continue creating a standard wallet with a secret phrase.
4. Save the 12 words in the correct order.
5. Confirm the secret phrase if the app requests verification.
6. After completion, the main wallet screen will open.

Creating a standard wallet is not an exchange registration: a separate account with a login and password is not required to store cryptocurrency.

These 12 words allow you to restore access if you change or lose your phone, so the Trust Wallet seed phrase must be saved before any funds arrive in the wallet.

If a wallet has already been created before, there is no need to create a new one. Use the addition or restoration of an existing wallet to regain access to previous addresses and assets.

After creation, performing a basic setup is sufficient.

• Enable app lock and biometrics if available.
• Ensure that backup data is saved and accessible only to you.
• Add the necessary coins and tokens to the main screen.
• Before receiving funds for the first time, check the selected asset and network.

After creation, you can add the necessary assets. If you plan to use Tether on the TRON network, USDT TRC-20 in Trust Wallet must be selected specifically on the TRON network.

After the initial setup, the main sections and features of Trust Wallet can be used for receiving, sending, exchanging, and other operations.

If you’ve just created a Trust Wallet and are planning to send USDT on the TRON network for the first time, there’s an important detail to know: a regular transaction requires TRX to pay for network resources.

You don’t have to buy TRX specifically for a single transfer. Instead, you can rent Energy in advance and use it to cover the transaction.

With Tron Pool Energy, you can connect the required amount of Energy directly to your TRON address. You only need to provide your public wallet address. There is no need to connect Trust Wallet or share your seed phrase or private key.

Depending on the type of transfer, the cost can be as little as 3 TRX for 65,000 Energy or 6 TRX for 131,000 Energy, compared with approximately 6.77 TRX and 13.37 TRX when paying transaction fees in the usual way.

👉 Connect Energy: Tron Pool Energy or use the Telegram bot @TronPoolBot.

This is especially convenient if you don’t want to keep TRX in your wallet specifically to pay fees for USDT transfers.

It is best to update the app through the same official source from which it was installed.

• On Android, open Google Play, search for Trust Wallet, and click "Update" if a new version is available.
• On iPhone, update the app via the App Store or enabled automatic updates.
• If the official APK was used, download the new version from trustwallet.com/download.

A standard app update does not require creating a new wallet. It is better to check the current version numbers in the app store or on the official download page because they change regularly.

Trust Wallet on Android and iPhone is best installed via the official download page with a redirection to Google Play or the App Store. After installation, you can create a standard self-custody wallet, save the recovery data, and perform a basic setup.
