Currency Conversion in Trust Wallet
How Conversion Rates are Determined

- Real-Time Updates: Conversion rates are updated in real-time, ensuring that the fiat value displayed in your wallet is as accurate as possible based on current market conditions.
- Exchange Rate Variations: Be aware that conversion rates can vary slightly between different data providers or exchanges. Trust Wallet uses a reliable average to provide a consistent estimate of your balances.
Viewing Your Balance in Different Currencies

Troubleshooting Currency Changes
Common Issues and Solutions
When changing the display currency in Trust Wallet, you might encounter a few common issues. Here’s how to address them:
- Currency Not Updating:
If the currency display doesn’t update immediately after you’ve selected a new one, try refreshing the app by navigating away from the main screen and then returning. This often forces the app to apply the changes. - Incorrect Conversion Rates:
If the conversion rates appear inaccurate or outdated, ensure your internet connection is stable, as Trust Wallet relies on real-time data. Switching networks (e.g., from Wi-Fi to mobile data) might also help. - Missing Currency Options:
If you don’t see your preferred fiat currency listed, it may not be supported by Trust Wallet. In this case, consider using an external app to track conversions or switch to a supported currency that you can easily convert manually. - Display Glitches:
Sometimes, display issues may occur, where the app doesn’t correctly show the updated balance in the new currency. Restarting your device or reinstalling the app can often resolve these glitches.
Resetting the App for Currency Changes
If you’re still having trouble after attempting basic fixes, resetting the app can help apply currency changes effectively.
- Close the App Completely:
Ensure Trust Wallet is completely closed. On some devices, you may need to swipe up or use the task manager to fully exit the app. - Reopen Trust Wallet:
Launch the app again from your home screen. This refresh should apply any pending currency changes. - Clear Cache (If Needed):
On Android devices, you can clear the app’s cache through the system settings under “Apps” > “Trust Wallet” > “Storage” > “Clear Cache.” This can help resolve persistent issues. - Reinstall the App:
If all else fails, consider uninstalling and then reinstalling Trust Wallet. Remember to back up your seed phrase before doing this, as you’ll need it to restore your wallet.
Security Considerations When Changing Currency
Ensuring Safe Currency Updates
When changing the display currency in Trust Wallet, it’s important to ensure that the process is secure and that your wallet remains protected.
- Verify the App Source: Always make sure you’re using the official Trust Wallet app downloaded from the official app store (Google Play Store or Apple App Store). Avoid third-party sources to prevent malware or counterfeit apps.
- Check for Updates: Keep your Trust Wallet app updated to the latest version. Updates often include security enhancements and bug fixes that can help protect your wallet.
- Secure Your Device: Ensure that your device has a strong password or biometric authentication enabled. This adds an extra layer of security when accessing your wallet.
- Backup Your Seed Phrase: Before making any changes, make sure your wallet’s seed phrase is securely backed up. If anything goes wrong during the update, you’ll need this phrase to recover your wallet.
- Use a Secure Connection: Make sure you’re on a secure, private internet connection when making changes in the app. Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks that could expose your data to potential threats.
Avoiding Potential Scams
Being aware of common scams can help protect your assets when managing currency settings in Trust Wallet.
- Beware of Phishing Attempts: Trust Wallet will never ask for your seed phrase or private keys via email or direct messages. Be cautious of unsolicited requests for your information.
- Avoid Fake Support: Only seek help from official Trust Wallet support channels. Scammers may pose as support agents on social media or forums to steal your information.
- Double-Check URLs: If you’re directed to a website or asked to visit a page for currency updates, always double-check the URL to ensure it’s the official Trust Wallet site.
- Monitor for Unauthorized Changes: After updating your currency settings, regularly check your transaction history to ensure no unauthorized changes have been made.
- Educate Yourself: Stay informed about the latest scams targeting cryptocurrency users. This knowledge can help you recognize and avoid potential threats.
