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 the 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.

BRD is easy to use and is a secure Bitcoin wallet through which you can send/store/receive your bitcoins easily.

7. Trust Wallet
Trust wallet is another multi-currency wallet for iOS users but this wallet doesn’t support Bitcoin.
Trust wallet is the wallet for Ethereum and Ethereum based ERC20 tokens and ERC223 tokens. Here in this wallet your private key is only stored locally and protected with many layers of security.
Trust wallet also acts like a Web3 Browser that allows you to interact with decentralized applications (DApp) directly from the app.
The Best Ways To Store Cryptos
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.
Also, whenever you use any of these iOS wallets, we suggest you follow the basic security practices always, some of which are:
- Properly back-up your seed key.
- Always set a PIN on your mobile wallet.
- Keep your PIN/password hard to guess or brute-force.
- DO NOT store a large amount of crypto on mobile wallets.
I will update this list on a regular basis so watch this space. Some of the iOS wallets that I am watching now are:
