Uniswap Android wallet starts with a built-in switching function
Uniswap Labs has officially released an Android mobile wallet app with built-in swap capabilities on the Google Play Store.
The new app allows users to exchange on a decentralized exchange (DEX) from within the app, eliminating the need for a separate web browser extension, Uniswap Labs Vice President of Design Khalil Capuzzo told Cointelegraph.
The app was released in closed beta on October 12, but this is the first time the Android version has been made available to the general public. The iOS version was released in April.
Uniswap currently has more than $3 billion worth of crypto contracts locked in. The DEX was developed by Uniswap Labs and is managed by Uniswap's decentralized autonomous organization UniswapDAO.
After listening to user feedback, Cappuozo says the team changed the app's wallet address display to make it easier for users to cut and paste their address.
Capuozo Uniswap has added support for new languages and now includes English, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, French, and Chinese – traditional and simplified – and added a setting that allows users to view their crypto value in their local currency.

Cappuozzo added that the Uniswap Android app is one of the items the team has been in demand for, and he expects demand to be high.
“We've been hearing from Twitter responses and from our community — it's always, ‘When is Android? When is Android?'” Capuzzo said.
