[UPDATED] Google banned Metamask from Play Store 1 week ago

[Verde Menta]

Hi, last week I had the same problem when I tried to download MetaMask from the google play store from my Huawei phone and it didn't work.

It was a mobile system upgrade and I had no problem downloading the application.

This is the solution that workedfor me, I hope it helps you.

Soon after Google-owned Youtube has swung the strikes hammer against video content creators that talked about cryptocurrency-related topics, another arm of the search monopoly has taken down a popular ethereum dapps client.

Google Play, the official app store for the Android operating system which is used by billions of mobile devices around the world and operated by Google, has banned the crypto app Metamask. The company pointed its restricted content policy on apps that expose users to deceptive or harmful financial products and services as a reason for the ban. The policy details that “we don’t allow apps that mine cryptocurrency on devices,” despite the fact that mining is something Metamask is not designed to do.

For those who don't know it's wise to say that MetaMask allows you to run Ethereum dApps right in your browser without running a full Ethereum node.

You can install MetaMask add-on in Chrome, Firefox, Opera but not for Android anymore which is very sad =/

Were you using it for your Android? Had it affect for you and have you found any alternatives?

Looks like Google and Youtube are looking more into such apps

It's still possible to use metamask on your Android smartphones, since Android still support chrome browsers and Firefox you can add metamask add-ons inside these two browsers, they work like charm

To be honest i was not using metamask from my smartphone which is android based and it was just that i was not confident about using it from phone somehow. So i just kept it in my laptop with proper browser and full view so that chance of any mistake is less. I try to be as careful as possible because small mistake can cost you a lot especially in crypto world where you cannot cancel or reverse transactions and also cannot change your passwords or private keys.

It's really not that hard to get metamask running on your Android device, it works exactly like it did on PC, not much difference and it's safe too, right from day one I've never use metamask on PC but mobile
