METAMASK STAGES A SWIFT COMEBACK TO APPLE’S APP STORE AMID SECURITY CONCERNS

Earlier today, the team behind MetaMask, the renowned Ethereum-native wallet, alerted its community that Apple had removed the application from its app store. However, in a turn of events, the wallet is now again available for download. This development has, without a doubt, provided relief to the MetaMask community, even as it reinforces the need for ongoing vigilance against the backdrop of a rising number of security incidents in the crypto industry.

The abrupt removal set off a ripple of concern among users, who vocalized about the removal on various social media platforms. Responding promptly, the MetaMask team confirmed the removal but alleviated concerns by stating it was “not related to anything malicious.”

Apple’s service policies likely caused the app’s removal. The marketplace prohibits apps from running unrelated background processes, such as crypto-mining

Moreover, the event unfolded at a time when the crypto community is increasingly wary of the fake MetaMask apps that are circulating on the internet. These fake applications have compromised numerous accounts, even ensnaring Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, in their deceitful web.

Consequently, the MetaMask team used the occasion to remind users to exercise caution and to steer clear of dubious applications.

The security of digital assets remains a prime concern for both new and seasoned crypto investors. Amid the cacophony of complaints, the team posted on X stating that the app is back on the App Store. Significantly, the team’s swift action in addressing the issue and restoring the app showcased their commitment to user security and platform integrity.

Additionally, Cryptopoolitan has confirmed that the MetaMask app is back on the Apple App Store and available for download.

This is not the first time Metamask has faced this kind of issue. In December 2019, the Metamask app was suspended from Google Play’s app store. This was because MetaMask allegedly violated Google’s financial services guidelines. Google cited its policy, which prohibits cryptocurrency mining on mobile devices. The ban was reversed a week later following a careful review by Google.
