Follow the steps below to quickly download Trust Wallet and create a crypto wallet.
Step 1: Download the Trust Wallet App
To download Trust Wallet, visit the official website and click on the Android or iOS button to download the app. Or you can search for “Trust Wallet” on Playstore or Appstore as you can on the screenshot above.
Step 2: Create a new wallet
Once you have downloaded the app, open the Trust Wallet on your phone and click on Create a New Wallet. Then kindly agree by clicking on the three checkboxes to proceed.
A 12-word recovery phrase will be generated for you which acts as a backup for your crypto funds. Make sure you write it on paper and keep it in a safe place where no one can have access. Or copy it and save it somewhere secure online e.g Google Drive. This is important because whoever has access to this 12-word phrase can steal your funds.
Step 3: Confirm your 12-word phrase
Once you copied or written the 12-word phrase, verify the secret phrase by entering them in the correct order.
Your wallet is now ready and you can now send, recieve, and manage multiple coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin and many more.
Safety Precautions
Trust Wallet is not like your bank. Trust Wallet does not manage your money or even control it. The fund is fully controlled by you.
If you lost this 12-word phrase, no one including Trust Wallet can be able to recover your funds.
It is strongly recommended to keep your 12-word phrase in the safest place. That is the only way you can have access to your funds in case you got another phone or deleted the app.
