- 📱 Android: Download from Google Play Store
- 💻 Desktop: Install Chrome extension
Set Up Your Wallet
- Install and open the app
- Select “Create a new wallet”
- Choose “Secret phrase” as wallet type
- 🚨 CRITICAL: Backup your secret phrase to iCloud (iOS) or Google Drive (Android)
⚠️ WARNING: Your secret phrase is like the master key to your wallet. NEVER share it with anyone. This is the ONLY way to recover your wallet if you lose your phone.
Step 2: Buy Bitcoin

Select Payment Method
Choose how you want to pay:

- 🌍 Local payment methods - Varies by country
Choose Provider
Trust Wallet will show you different providers. MoonPay is usually the most reliable and cost-effective.
💡 Tip: If one provider doesn’t work, try another. If 2-3 providers fail, your bank might be blocking crypto purchases (call them to allow it).
Complete Your Purchase
- Follow the provider’s steps to complete your purchase
- Wait a few minutes for Bitcoin to appear in your wallet
- Take a screenshot of your successful purchase
