Breadwallet’s new feature allows users to buy bitcoins from iOS app

Breadwallet, a digital currency wallet, has announced the launch of its feature for iPhone users to buy bitcoins from inside their iOS app.

The company plans to roll out this ability to its users in the next two weeks, Bitcoin.com reported. Breadwallet has utilized its partner companies to offer these new services and remains a standalone, decentralized wallet.

“Starting today, iPhone users in the United States will start receiving the ability to buy bitcoin through the Breadwallet app, either with cash at one of the thousands of retail locations and bitcoin ATMs or by linking a bank account,” the official blog post stated.

The company stated that those users who do not want to use the services can continue to use the Breadwallet app normally, without the need to provide any personal information. On the other hand, those users who chose to use these services will enjoy a completely native experience.

The new services are integrated right into Breadwallet to make the entire process easier and as smooth as possible. The bitcoin address and login credentials are managed seamlessly in the background, and the information that user enter is encrypted and stored in their own phone. This enables users to easily make repeat purchases or sign up for other services in the future while keeping their data secure and private.

Also, any bitcoin that user buys through one of the Breadwallet partners gets delivered directly to their own Breadwallet, after which neither the partner companies nor Breadwallet can control user’s money.

“This is the next step in the evolution of Breadwallet. While we become a more powerful gateway to the world of bitcoin, we continue to keep Breadwallet as simple as possible with no logins or tedious data entry, and we remain just as secure and private as ever,” it added.
