Best Bitcoin wallets for iPhone

I only rank Bitcoin-only apps, in the order set by my rating methodology. An app counts as Bitcoin-only when the version you install holds or signs nothing outside Bitcoin and Liquid, a Bitcoin sidechain. Liquid assets such as USDt are allowed, so Nunchuk, the Blockstream app, and AQUA are ranked here. Apps that hold coins on any other chain sit in the contrast table further down.

Every app below has shipped an App Store update since September 2026, and every one is free to install. A phone is an internet-connected computer you carry everywhere, so treat any balance on it like cash in your pocket. Savings belong on a hardware wallet, with the phone app holding a watch-only copy. If you want the desktop side too, my software wallets page covers every Bitcoin software wallet I rate.

Nunchuk builds multisig vaults such as a 2-of-3 or a 3-of-5 for one person, a family, or a business, and its App Store listing calls it "the world's first multi-user multisig wallet," so several people can share one vault. Its inheritance plans use on-chain timelocks that Nunchuk says are "designed to outlive us," and an October 2026 update lets you use your own hardware wallet as the inheritance key.

It pairs over QR with the same devices as BlueWallet: Blockstream lists Nunchuk for Jade and Jade Plus, SeedSigner's README names it as a compatible coordinator, Krux lists it among its mobile coordinators, and it is on the Passport Prime connect list. Since July 2026 it also holds USDT on the Liquid network, which my rule allows.

The cons: the iPhone app's source code is not public, though the Android and desktop apps are, and the free plan covers only DIY single-sig and multisig wallets: assisted vaults and the inheritance packages are paid plans, sold in the app. The App Store developer is Nunchuk.

The Blockstream app, made by my employer, shows on-chain bitcoin, Lightning, and Liquid assets in one view, and its App Store listing says Lightning payments work through atomic swaps. Its Liquid accounts can hold assets such as Tether (USDt), which my rule allows.

It is the Jade family's own app. Jade and Jade Plus pair with it over QR or Bluetooth, and Jade Core, which has no camera, pairs over Bluetooth. It also offers 2FA multisig accounts: a 2-of-2 with Blockstream's server key, or a 2-of-3 that adds a backup key you keep offline, so Blockstream can never spend on its own.

The con: everyday spending from a 2FA account needs Blockstream's server, and you only get out without it through a timelock or your backup key. The App Store developer is Blockstream.

BlueWallet does the two jobs a phone wallet should do. Its App Store listing describes hardware wallet signing as "build the payment on your phone, sign the PSBT on your device, broadcast from BlueWallet," and its watch-only wallets "follow your cold storage with just the public key." It also builds multisig vaults that need more than one key to spend.

It pairs over QR with most of the devices I rate. Blockstream lists it for Jade and Jade Plus over QR, SeedSigner's README names it as a compatible coordinator, Krux lists it among its mobile coordinators, and Foundation includes it on the Passport Prime connect list.

Lightning in BlueWallet now means connecting to an LNDhub server you run yourself: in version 8.0.2 the Create button stays disabled until you enter your own LNDhub address. The Arkade wallet added in 7.2.2 is still in the code but hidden behind a developer shortcut, so treat BlueWallet as an on-chain wallet unless you run a node The code is MIT-licensed on GitHub. On the App Store, check that the developer reads Bluewallet Services, S. R. L. before you install.

Keeper calls itself free, open-source, and community-run, with no subscriptions. Its Multi-Key Wallet sets up a 2-of-3, a 3-of-5, or a custom quorum, and its Inheritance Key adds "a delayed access path for an heir or trusted party." An optional Server Key can join a multisig, and Keeper says it cannot spend with that key alone.

It pairs over QR with the same devices as BlueWallet: Blockstream lists Keeper for Jade and Jade Plus, and SeedSigner, Krux, and Foundation all name it. With no paid plans, Keeper is the free way to coordinate two or three hardware wallets from different makers.

The con is the one every multisig carries: you have to back up the wallet configuration, not just the seeds, or the wallet cannot be rebuilt. My multisig guide explains what to save. The App Store developer is Bithyve UK Ltd.

AQUA, from JAN3, brings "Bitcoin, Liquid, Lightning, and Tether USDt together in one simple app", with an @aqua.net Lightning Address you can customize. Its help center says the wallet holds USDT natively only on Liquid. When you send or receive USDT on Tron, Ethereum, or another chain, a swap service such as SideShift or Changelly owns that address and converts to or from Liquid, so the app signs nothing outside Bitcoin and Liquid.

Those swaps run through a third party, and AQUA warns that a reused or expired receive address can leave a deposit waiting on the swap provider to recover it. Neither its site nor its App Store listing mentions hardware wallet support, so treat it as a spending wallet. The code is MIT-licensed on GitHub, and the App Store developer is Jan3 LLC.

BULL creates two wallets from one seed: an Instant Payments Wallet on the Liquid Network for everyday Lightning payments and a Secure Bitcoin Wallet for savings. The listing says "BULL is Bitcoin-only," and it uses Payjoin and Liquid's confidential transactions for privacy. My rule allows Liquid.

Its README lists QR signing for Jade, Passport, SeedSigner, Specter, and Krux. Two balances in one app is more to understand than BlueWallet's single wallet. The App Store developer is Satoshi Portal Inc.

Foundation says Envoy is now a standalone Bitcoin mobile wallet, so you can use it without a Passport. Its real job is Passport Prime: the two pair over QuantumLink Bluetooth, and new Prime accounts sync to Envoy without QR scanning.

QuantumLink is required for initial setup. After that, Prime can sign with QR codes or files, and you can switch Bluetooth off. Envoy needs iOS 18.0 or later, the newest floor of any app here.

The con: Foundation had a rough 2026. Envoy 2.3.0 fixed a Magic Backup server flaw that allowed unauthenticated access to backup data, and attackers sent phishing emails from Foundation's own domains in October. Both are in my incident tracker. The App Store developer is Foundation Devices, Inc.

Muun is the gentlest start on this list. It is a 2-of-2 multi-signature wallet where Muun's server holds one key and your phone holds the other; your Emergency Kit holds both, so you can recover without Muun. It sends and receives Lightning payments from the same balance.

Neither Muun's site nor its App Store listing mentions hardware wallet support, so treat it as a spending wallet and nothing more. Its last iOS release was 2.16.0 in September. The App Store developer is Muun Wallet, Inc.

A watch-only wallet is the public half of your hardware wallet loaded into the phone app. The phone shows your balance and builds the transaction; the hardware wallet signs it, and the keys never touch the phone.

This table shows how each device I rate pairs with each iPhone app. Every cell comes from the source in the last column; "Not listed" means neither vendor documents that pairing.

If most of what you do on the phone is paying for things, a dedicated Lightning app beats any wallet above. Phoenix and Zeus are my top-rated Bitcoin-only picks on iPhone. My best Lightning wallets for spending page ranks the rest. Keep the spending balance small and the savings on a hardware wallet.

In April 2026 a fake Ledger Live app on Apple's App Store drained about $9.5 million from 50 victims by asking them to type in their seed phrase. It was a macOS app, which shows that Apple's review does not catch everything. It sits in my log of fake wallet apps and other 2026 incidents.

Neither has an iPhone app. Sparrow offers downloads for macOS, Windows, and Linux only, and Electrum offers Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. Both are excellent on a computer: set up Sparrow on your computer and keep BlueWallet or Keeper on the phone as a watch-only view of the same hardware wallet.

These apps run on an iPhone and hold coins on chains other than Bitcoin and Liquid. More chains means more code near your keys, so none of them is on my list. Bitcoin-only, dummy.
