Introduction
If your Trust Wallet app keeps crashing, freezing, or won’t open at all, you’re not alone. This issue is surprisingly common, especially after updates or network changes.
Before you panic, here’s the good news: in most cases, your funds are safe, and the problem is related to the app or device—not your wallet itself.
This guide explains why Trust Wallet crashes, what usually causes it, and how to fix the problem step by step without risking your assets.
Quick Answer
If Trust Wallet keeps crashing or won’t open:
- The app may be outdated or corrupted
- Cached data may be causing conflicts
- Network or RPC issues may exist
- Your device software may need an update
- Reinstalling the app (carefully) often fixes it
Your funds remain on the blockchain, not inside the app.
Common Reasons Trust Wallet Crashes or Freezes
App Update Issues
Sometimes:
- An update installs incorrectly
- Files become corrupted
- The app conflicts with older system files
This can cause repeated crashes on launch.
Corrupted Cache or App Data
Cached data helps apps load faster, but corrupted cache can:
- Prevent the app from opening
- Cause freezing or blank screens
Outdated Device Software
Older versions of iOS or Android may:
- Conflict with newer app updates
- Cause instability or crashes
Network or RPC Problems
Trust Wallet relies on blockchain nodes.
If nodes are slow or unavailable, the app may fail to load properly.
Device Storage or Memory Issues
Low storage or RAM can cause:
- App crashes
- Slow loading
- Unexpected shutdowns
