Crypto wallet MetaMask removed from Apple's app store

• It's reported to have over 30 million users.
• It does not currently come up in response to a search for "MetaMask" in the store, but other such wallets do, such as Trust, Crypto.com, and Coinbase Wallet.

What they're saying: "We anticipate that MetaMask will be back on the App Store shortly, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this temporary unavailability may have caused," Elo Gimenez, a spokesperspon for Metamask, told Axios in an email.

• She added that the removal is not related to malicious activity, and that existing users don't need to take any immediate action.
• "If users come across any fake MetaMask apps on the App Store, we kindly ask them to report those immediately," she said.
• Apple didn't respond to a request for comment.

Update: After a brief period of unavailability on the Apple App Store, the MetaMask crypto app is once again available. In a follow up, a spokesperson for the product ascribed the disappearance to an operational error on their end.
