Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add multiple addresses for the same contact?Trust Wallet allows only one address per contact entry. To store multiple addresses for the same person, create separate entries with distinct names, such as “John – ETH” and “John – BSC.”

Is the address book synced across devices?No. The address book is stored locally on the device where it was created. Restoring your wallet on a new device using the recovery phrase will not transfer saved contacts.

What happens if I save an incorrect address?Saving a wrong address does not immediately cause loss of funds. However, attempting to send assets to that address may result in irreversible transactions. Always verify addresses before saving or sending.

Are address book entries encrypted?Yes. Contact information is stored securely within the app’s local storage, protected by your device’s passcode and Trust Wallet’s internal encryption protocols.
