Answers
2🔹 Why you can’t install Sui Wallet in the UK
- App Store region restrictions
The official Sui Wallet iOS app is not available in every country’s App Store. In the UK, it sometimes doesn’t appear because Mysten Labs (the Sui team) hasn’t enabled distribution there yet.
- Apple’s compliance rules
Apple restricts crypto wallets in certain regions due to financial regulations. Some wallets (like Sui Wallet) roll out region by region, unlike global ones like MetaMask.
- Name confusion
Some people search for “Sui Wallet” but only find third-party apps or browser extensions. The official one is by Mysten Labs.
🔹 What to do if you already have it installed
✅ Keep it — if you already downloaded it while traveling or using a different App Store, you can continue using it normally. Updates will still come through as long as your Apple ID region is supported.
🔄 Backup your seed phrase — make sure your 12/24-word recovery phrase is written down securely, so you don’t lose access if you delete the app or switch phones.
⚠️ If the app disappears from your store, you won’t be able to reinstall unless you switch your Apple ID region.
🔹 Alternatives if you can’t install it
If the official Sui Wallet is unavailable in the UK App Store:
-
Change App Store region → temporarily switch your Apple ID to a country where Sui Wallet is listed (like the US).
-
Use a browser wallet → e.g., Sui Wallet Chrome extension or Ethos Wallet, which support Sui and are accessible worldwide.
-
Other multi-chain wallets → Some wallets like Suiet and Martian Wallet support Sui and are easier to install.
