In the current online environment, fake wallet crimes are rampant. Fake wallets are counterfeit wallets released unofficially. Criminal groups reverse-engineer the APK of official wallets, add functions to capture private keys and mnemonic phrases, and then release these fake wallets online. When someone downloads a fake wallet and creates or imports private keys or mnemonic phrases, these keys or phrases are automatically synchronized to the servers of the criminal group. The criminals will then seize the opportunity to steal the victim's assets or maliciously alter the permissions of the victim's addresses.
The following tutorial will guide you on how to correctly and safely download wallets to avoid falling into the traps of fake wallets.
Find the correct official website
The only official website for the Bitpie wallet is: bitpie.com
-
Open your mobile browser and enter the official website URL: bitpie.com directly to go to the Bitpie official website. Remember not to use keyword searches. Using keyword searches can result in phishing sites and fake wallet websites appearing in the search results, leading to the risk of downloading and using fake wallets, which can result in asset theft.
-
Once on the official website, find the browser menu bar.
-
In the browser menu, select History.
-
Check the browsing history to ensure the visited website is https://bitpie.com

Android Google Play Store Download
- Open Google Play Store and search for "bitpie".

Apple App Store Download
The Apple App Store in mainland China does not support downloading Bitpie (any Bitpie apps found in the mainland store are fake and should not be trusted). Before starting the download, you need to log out of your mainland Apple account and log in to an overseas Apple account. If you don't have an overseas Apple ID, please refer to the overseas ID application tutorial.
- First, open the Apple App Store and click on the account icon in the upper right corner.
- In the account details, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Sign Out.
- Log in with an overseas Apple account by entering the account and password, then click Sign In.
- Once logged in, search for "bitpie". When the search results appear, do not click randomly. Ensure that the Bitpie APP provided by the developer "BITPIE HK LIMITED" is the one you install. Any Bitpie APP provided by other developers is counterfeit and should not be trusted!
- Click on the Bitpie APP in the search results to view details.
- Confirm that the developer is "BITPIE HK LIMITED" and then click Download.
The following are the only supported download methods for Bitpie. Remember, installation packages obtained from any unofficial channels pose a risk of being fake wallets. Do not trust them.
