During the period in which the wallet was absent. The company provided an alternative to its users by downloading the APK file directly from its website. However, the temporary solution has become unnecessary with the wallet’s reinstatement on the Play Store.
Trust Wallet Expects Reinstatement on Google to Boost Token Value
Trust Wallet had expressed concern during this time about the possibility of scammers trying to take advantage of the situation by downloading fake applications. To prevent any fraud attempts. The company issued a clear warning to its users not to download any applications from the Play Store during that period.
It is important to note that the temporary removal did not affect its availability on other platforms. Such as the iOS App Store and the Google Chrome browser extension. This ensured that users of Apple devices and those accessing Trust Wallet through their browsers were not affected by the situation.
The app’s return to the Play Store has been met with enthusiasm by the community. Especially those who rely on the application to manage their assets. Additionally, it is expected that this reinstatement will have a positive impact on the performance of the token associated with Trust Wallet. Which experienced a 22% increase after being listed on Binance last year.
