The DApp browser on Trust Wallet allows you to use decentralized applications like PancakeSwap.
For Android devices, the DApp browser can be enabled on the app after downloading it via the preference setting.
You can find the preference setting by tapping on the “Settings” icon in the bottom navigation bar of the app.
So, if you’re using an Android device, you don’t have to manually enable it through a browser.
You can enable the DApp browser on Android by going to Trust Wallet > Settings > Preferences > DApp browser > Enable.
Then, you can use it by tapping on the “Browser” icon on the bottom navigation bar of the app.
However, if you are using an iPhone/iOS device, the DApp browser cannot be enabled on the app.
Instead, you’ll have to manually enable it to use decentralized applications.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to use PancakeSwap or Uniswap to exchange tokens.

Here’s how to enable DApp browser on Trust Wallet:
1. Open a browser (e.g. Safari)
The first step is to open a browser.

So, Safari is the best choice as you won’t encounter any problems.
First, open the Safari browser on your device.
If you can’t find it, swipe down from the center of the screen and search for “Safari” and open it.
In the next step, you are prompted to paste a phrase into the URL field of your browser.
2. Paste this into the URL field “trust://browser_enable“
After tapping on “Safari”, you will land on the last tab opened.
At the top of Safari, you’ll see a search bar.
For iPhone/iOS devices, you will need to paste a phrase to enable the DApp browser.
The phrase is “trust://browser_enable”, which will enable the DApp browser on Trust Wallet.
To begin with, paste “trust://browser_enable” into the Safari URL field.
Then, search for the phrase by pressing “go”.
After searching for the phrase, a popup message will open.
The pop-up message will ask you to open the page on Trust Wallet.
Here is the full pop-up message, “Open this page in “Trust”?”.
There are two options on the pop-up message including “Cancel” and “Open”.
Do not tap on “Cancel” as you will have to search for the phrase again.
Instead, tap on the “Open” option to open the page on Trust Wallet.
3. Switch to the DApp you want to use
After tapping “Open”, Trust Wallet will open.
In addition, the DApp browser will be enabled in the app.
Now that you have enabled the DApp browser, you will see it in the bottom navigation bar of Trust Wallet.
The DApp browser is displayed as a “Browser” icon.
If you haven’t enabled the DApp browser, you won’t be able to see the “Browser” icon in the bottom navigation bar of the app.
To open the DApp browser, tap the “Browser” icon in the bottom navigation bar.
You will then land on the DApp browser containing multiple decentralized applications.
Scroll down until you find the decentralized application you want to use.
For example, if you want to use PancakeSwap, scroll down until you find “PancakeSwap” and tap on it.
PancakeSwap is located under the heading “Popular”.
Then, you will be able to trade tokens on the exchange.
But first, you need to connect Trust Wallet to the exchange.
Then, you can use BNB to exchange another token.

What are DApps on Trust Wallet?
DApps on Trust Wallet stands for decentralized applications.
The DApp browser is a Web3 browser that allows you to use decentralized applications such as PancakeSwap.
If you’re using an iPhone/iOS device, you need to enable it manually.
At PancakeSwap, you will be able to trade tokens as BNB for Safemoon.
The DApp browser provides an intuitive and secure connection between the user and a decentralized application.
Its interface is mobile-responsive which is easy to use.
The list of decentralized applications is limited, but Trust Wallet is gradually expanding it.
This is because their goal is to create a community of decentralized applications that anyone can use.
Trust Wallet is working with developers to provide the best experience for users.
Is the DApp browser removed from iOS on Trust Wallet?
As of June 2021, the DApp browser is completely removed from iOS devices on Trust Wallet.
This is to comply with the App Store guidelines so that Trust Wallet can continue to offer you its services.
However, if you enabled the DApp browser on your iOS device before June 2021, you will still be able to access it through the “History” section.
In addition, your funds and collectibles will still be accessible by you.
Unfortunately, the removal of the DApp browser is mandatory for future Trust Wallet updates.
If you use an Android device, you won’t be affected by it.
However, if you are using an iOS device, there are two workarounds to access DApps:
- You can use an Android device to access Trust Wallet.
- Visit PancakeSwap on a mobile browser (such as Safari), tap Connect > WalletConnect > Trust, > Open > Connect > Back to PancakeSwap on your browser.
This is because the DApp browser is still enabled for Android devices.
The second method is to use WalletConnect to connect to Trust Wallet on PancakeSwap.
Conclusion
Enabling DApp browser on iPhone/iOS devices can be tricky because it requires using a browser.
On the other hand, Android devices do not have to enable the DApp browser through a browser as it can be enabled on the app via the “Preferences” setting.
You can access the DApp browser by tapping on the “Browser” icon in the bottom navigation bar of the app.
Then, you will be able to use decentralized applications on Trust Wallet such as PancakeSwap and Uniswap.
