Benzinga – by Mehab Qureshi, Benzinga Staff Writer.
MetaMask, a popular decentralized finance (DeFi) wallet boasting 21 million monthly users, was temporarily pulled off the Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) App Store on Saturday. While the wallet has now been restored, no official explanation has been provided for the brief removal.
What Happened: Reports began circulating on Oct. 14, with numerous users on the X platform revealing that MetaMask was no longer accessible on the Apple App Store. Additionally, Apple users were unable to download the DeFi wallet app directly from its official website.
Taylor Monahan, Lead Product Manager at MetaMask, addressed concerned users on X, assuring them that the team was actively managing the issue. Monahan said, “As far as I can tell, it happened a couple of hours ago and this was not something we ever expected to happen. Based on the limited information I have, it’s something procedural (?) with the Apple account (not the app itself) and thus should be resolved soon.”
