If you own cryptocurrencies and an iOS device, I am sure you have struggled to find the right crypto wallets. However, these days developers have started supporting iOS devices too.
Now iOS device users no longer need to store their cryptos on exchanges and jeopardize the security of their cryptocurrencies.
Also, in any case, the habit of storing your cryptocurrencies on exchanges is strongly discouraged by CoinSutra. But we also understand that some crypto users are forced to do so because they don’t know about cryptocurrency wallets that are supported on iOS devices.
That’s why in this post I am going to share about popular Bitcoin and cryptocurrency wallets that can be used on iOS devices too.

Best Bitcoin wallets for iPhone
1. Trust Wallet
Trust wallet is a popular multi-currency wallet for iOS users. Along with Bitcoin, You can store Ethereum, Polkadot, Solana, Litecoin, XRP, Tron, BNB, and many other ERC20 tokens. Here in this wallet your private key is only stored locally and protected with many layers of security.

2. Muun iPhone Bitcoin Wallet: (Also supports lightning payment)
Have you ever wondered about having a Bitcoin wallet that is linked to your email and a password? I always wished for such a wallet all the time, as it helps non-techies to get started with Bitcoin. My first such experience happened with Argent wallet which is a popular Ethereum wallet.
Muun is the recent edition in our list of best Bitcoin wallets for iOS that offers the feature to recover your wallet using an email address and a password. It is perfect for non-techies, who are more likely to lose their phone or not very keen of taking a backup of seed words. That’s not all, Muun is a non-custodial wallet that supports both Segwit and Legacy address. At the top of it, you can make lightning payments using Muun wallet, which makes it a perfect companion for day-to-day usage.
Here is a video demo of Muun from Bitrefill (Learn about Bitrefill here), which it shows the lightning payment feature of Muun:

The Best Ways To Store Cryptos on iPhone/iPad
The best and easiest way to securely store your cryptocurrencies is to use a good wallet that you control on your device.
If you store your cryptos on exchanges, you stand at the risk of losing all at once. And as the cryptosphere has matured, even iOS users have a lot of options for crypto mobile wallets.
