We can buy crypto from Trust Wallet through the aforementioned Apple Pay and Google Pay, if this wallet is downloaded on each person's own phone/computer. It seems that this is their new addition and they are unlocking the purchase flow that they have created. In fact, the new method that Trust Wallet has introduced can be used by people in about 40 plus countries and they can buy Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNP, Solana, XRP, USDT, there. In fact, all these activities of theirs prove to us that the goal of this wallet is to make self-custody easier.

Moreover, here are the details on how beginners or experienced people can buy crypto with Google Pay or Apple Pay.

How to buy crypto with Apple Pay / Google Pay
Download & open Trust Wallet

Tap ‘Fund'

Select Apple Pay / Google Pay

Select an asset and choose the amount

Confirm with Pay, and crypto lands in your wallet.

Is this a paid ad? If the goal of Trust wallet is to make self custody is easier, they would make their wallet open-sourced instead of closed source. Trust wallet is not a good wallet I’d recommend to anyone who wants to hodl your coins long term.

Make self custody easier? Because the added Apple Pay and Google Pay as a way to buy coins? Humor me

Funny though, initially, trust wallet was an open source noncustodial wallet until around the time Binance acquired them. Everything now is just profit driven thanks to capitalism.

Why was I hoping this was going to be about contactless crypto payments? That still seems to be missing - especially one that doesn't overcharge.

Idk if we'd have Bitcoin without capitalism though so maybe there's some give and take.

Every wallet has started making native trades frictionless and external trades harder (idk if I'm a conspiracy theorist when I say that but trying to get some mobile wallets to connect to dexes give me the impression they were designed not to).

I wouldn't call it easier when they'll be relying on third-party providers to deliver services that come with different limits.
^{- FWIW, instead of pretending that they're making it easier, they should focus more on making it safer by releasing the source code to the public!}

The problem is that you will be sharing your data with a third party who does not promise to protect your data or compensate you if security-related problems occur.

Not only that, but it is profitable for them. They display adءs on the wallet,  profit from referral fees and cryptocurrency purchase fees through third-party services.

There is nothing trustworthy or safe about Trust Wallet despite its name. Adding a few new payment methods isn't going to change that. This is a closed-source and custodial wallet that pretends it isn't. You don't own the crypto you store there. Someone else does. They "allow" you to "transfer" your coins if they want to. Whenever there is a third party who has the power to freeze and steal your funds, they will take advantage of that and paint you as the guilty party and reason why it happened.

Trust Wallet also allows users to store their seed on the cloud. What could possibly go wrong, right?

[BlackHatCoiner]

The irony of the Trust Wallet is that no sane person trusts it. It's closed-source, created by Binance which is an anti-bitcoin company that promotes shitcoins, and many users have reported vulnerabilities that costed them their coins. It's also a privacy nightmare. Stay away from it.

If you want to self-custody shitcoins, then don't, because 99% of them are hyped scams where you're the exit liquidity, but we all know you're not interested in bitcoin only. In that case, if you must buy shitcoins, at least use something reputable like Trezor.

Lol! They don't even pretend it is secure.

The world is full of insane and semi-sane people, and unfortunately, many of them opt for these kinds of multi-coin wallets because they don't know any better. The positions and attitudes we have on this forum are sadly not that of the majority.

The opinion that you are late to bitcoin is something I have heard a few times. People say it has already gained so much value that it's now time to find a new bitcoin. A bitcoin 2.0 that is just getting started. The problem is, they never find it and never will.

Another irony you'll be surprised to hear is that you'll find more people that trust Google pay and Apple pay more than open source softwares like Electrum. I wasn't disappointed when I saw someone on a Google play review leaving a bad review for Electrum simply because he preferred a fancy UI  to safety and privacy.

Fact is we have a bigger set of individuals that fancy centralization compared to the minimal set that actually cares about decentralization and privacy.

Just few days back someone recommended me to have Trust Wallet as its one of the best but now today after reading these feedbacks and all details look like its never been good idea to have this wallet for long run.

I am going to be stayed happy with electrum because its giving much better and secure services in all conditions thanks few members specially @SFR10 and @Pmalek for giving details replies and all updates.

I assume you hold bitcoin because you mentioned that you will continue to use Electrum and not switch to Trust Wallet. Electrum is bitcoin-only, while Trust Wallet is a bad choice for a multicoin wallet. There are plenty of good bitcoin-only software wallets both for phones and desktops. I see no reason to use a multicoin wallet regardless of how good it is just for bitcoin.

The more features and coins that your wallet supports, the more ways there are that something may go wrong and could be abused and taken advantage of. A bitcoin-only wallet focuses only on securing your BTC. A wallet that supports 500 altcoins requires much more work, contains a huge amount of additional code, and is more difficult to maintain.

Imagine a brick wall. You can't break it with a stone. Now think of a brick wall with one glass window. You could break that window at one place with a stone, right. A wall with 10 glass windows adds 10 more potential vulnerabilities etc., etc.

It's not a good wallet and it's probably the wallet you need to don't trust but it really makes things easier. Instead of going to exchanges, buying coins and then withdrawing them to your wallet, now you can directly buy it and get in your wallet. It definitely makes things easier but the question is, does it worth it or not? For many of us, it doesn't worth it but there are also too many people who favor features like this one and they rarely care about how much control they actually have over their wallet.

In that case, if you must buy shitcoins, at least use something reputable like Trezor.

Good point! In case someone wants a coin that supports altcoins, Trezor is the best choice.
P.S. I want to add, do not make a mistake by buying Ledger. Ledger is as trustworthy as Trust wallet, i.e. both of them are untrustworthy.

Thanks for your detailed and positive reply I am also having intention of just Bitcoin just because of this now I am not going to take risk because in start already lost 0.2 in Freebitco.in they are never giving any reply or anything just because of this now holding in my own wallet is always secure.
Here I completely agreed about this more coins and tokens more feature and chance of losing and having only bitcoin mean better security which is good by Electrum now I am buying and all quickly transferring to my wallet as I am feeling secure with these thanks for all information which will be remembered for long time as its one of the best.

Unfortunately, freebitco.in seems to have turned into a full-fledged scam. It's a sad way to end. Many people have bitcoin stuck there, and I doubt they will ever get it out.

If your bitcoin holdings start to rise in the future to a level where you are no longer comfortable storing everything in a hot wallet, it would be a good idea to consider buying a good and trusted hardware wallet. Black Friday just ended but Christmas and New Year's Eve are coming up. Many brands offer decent discounts during the festive season, and you could get a good device maybe with a 20% or 30% discount.

The principle of a Bitcoin wallet is to be open source and have some minimal privacy features, as well as manually setting the fees, options to choose a personal electrum server and the possibility of connect via Tor.

There is an audience for everything, but I've never seen Trust Wallet in a good light. Purchasing crypto through Apple Pay and similar can be a differentiator that could be worthwhile for some audiences who don't care if the wallet is closed source. Remember not to make Trust your main wallet!

Moreover, here are the details on how beginners or experienced people can buy crypto with Google Pay or Apple Pay.

It's good for development of Trust wallet and the wallet users but with Google Pay and Apple Pay, I believe there are mandate of KYC from Google and Apple. That is not good as KYC is extremely dangerous – and useless.

There are many other wallets and products you can use without KYC.

Most important, Trust wallet is not a good wallet to use: it's close source, not reproducible.
