Breaking news from the world of cryptocurrency has shocked everyone. MetaMask, one of the most popular crypto wallets, has been removed from the Apple App Store. So far, no reason has been given for the removal.
This development reminds us of another incident that happened in September last year. Trust Wallet was also removed from the Apple App Store for reasons unknown. Although it was later reinstated, many rumors circulated. At the time, the Trust Wallet team took swift action and quickly reversed the removal. MetaMask has not yet made any statements regarding this matter.
Due to an unknown reason, the mobile application of the world-famous crypto wallet MetaMask has been removed from the Apple App Store. MetaMask currently has over 30 million active users and is considered one of the most reliable wallets in the industry.
The conditions for the removal have not been disclosed to the public, causing uncertainty for both parties. However, a similar situation occurred with Trust Wallet last year. The mobile application was temporarily removed from the store but was later re-added.
The Apple App Store has faced criticism from both users and developers in the past for such actions. Coinbase, for example, had difficulty publishing a wallet application in the company’s app store in 2022.
Interestingly, MetaMask co-founder Dan Finlay spoke about the 2022 incident and supported Apple. He openly expressed his desire to stand with Coinbase against Apple regarding app store applications.
This is not the first time MetaMask has faced such a situation. In 2019, a similar issue occurred with the Android Store, and the future will depend on the forthcoming statements.
