What Bitcoin Mobile Wallet are you using?

[Lucius]

I would suggest BlueWallet. It also has better UI and open source. Although i'd also recommend you not to put lots of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency on your phone, due to risk of getting stolen or hacked (since you also do your regular activity on it).

I've been a user of Electrum for a long time (desktop & mobile), but since version 4+ they messed something up on the Android version when it comes to old wallets and adding new ones and spending funds from them. Therefore, I also started looking for an alternative for a mobile wallet and I agree that BlueWallet is a worthy replacement that should definitely be taken into account.

I have also tried Trust and Samourai Wallet and I can say that the latter is also interesting and worth trying, and in the end everyone chooses the wallet that suits them best.

I am using Aqua wallet  (https://aquawallet.io/)

it is interesting that it supports Lightning Network as well, and you don't need to open a channel to use it.
It also allows some interesting use of USDT in Liquid (bitcoin side chain ).

If you want to try something different, this is a good wallet

I am currently using BlueWallet.

Back when I had an Android, I was using mycellium wallet. I downloaded it due to the fact that I could easily sign bitcoin messages with it, but I had to stop and transit to Bluewallet after discovering that it`s not possible to import your private key from the Android mycellium to the iOS version.
BlueWallet also gives you the opportunity to use the Lightning network.

I would never trust any mobile wallet with my coins. I understand that some people prefer it that way but I feel like my money is a lot better stored at my PC (or hardware wallet) because that feels like a lot better solution. I know that it may feel like its normal for people to have results that look good at mobile, like how many people were hacked at PC and how many at mobile, if you make that comparison, maybe mobile will look better, but that is mainly because PC is attacked more, and people use it wrong a lot more often. If you properly store it at some cold storage like hardware wallet, it would be very unlikely to lose it all.

Please suggest an exclusive Bitcoin wallet for mobile devices that can also work as an LN wallet. Thanks in advance!

I've used electrum wallet on mobile but I don't really like the look of it because I've only used it for a short time on mobile unless I'm on desktop and I'm still using Electrum.

Have you ever tried Bluewallet bitcoin wallet? Now for mobile it is more like Bluewallet than other mobile devices there is also an RBF feature you can also use the lightning network but I myself have never tried it for LN.

me too, I also used electrum bitcoin wallet in my mobile, It's useful.
But tryst wallet and safepal are good wallet too

@bitmover, It seems to be a very interesting wallet for those who are looking for a combination of using BTC, LN and stablecoins, and as far as I can see, it is said that options for buying BTC from various sources, loans and even a Visa debit card will be available.

On the one hand, that's good, but if it's not just an ordinary wallet, maybe it will all be a bit too much for some who are looking for simplicity without all those options offered by the standard CEX. When I say simplicity, I also mean privacy, because all these services that are offered (or will be available) will certainly require KYC.

For now, there is no KYC. Lets hope it stays that way!

Also, they said it will be possible to pay bills with btc.  It will be amazing to pay my bills with lightning network without KYC

Lately, I have been using the Electrum mobile wallet which according to me is a pain. It does not show the correct price of Bitcoin some time and it has a clumsy user interface. I still like the desktop version but in the current scenario where most of the financial transactions are done using a mobile, I am looking for a good Bitcoin mobile wallet. Before Electrum I was using the Mycelium wallet which I was happy with until they started spamming my phone with their advertisement notification and adding Ethereum blockchain. I mean where did the exclusivity for Bitcoin go for those who developed it?

I'm also using the same wallet as you, I don't see any problem in it. The most important for me is the security which is good for me to use Electrum and I didn't experience any lost of fund or bugs in it. If your concern is that the price of Bitcoin not the same in the exchange, it is normal. There is a minor differences of Bitcoin's price in every exchanges. So, if you want the correct price, look just at the price of Bitcoin on the exchange from which you are withdrawing.

I have safepal but just to view an address. Not a fan of mobile crypto payment.

If you have a mobile wallet you can be a target for the five dollar wrench attack.

If you aren't against closed-source wallets then I suggest you to try Trust wallet on your smart phone. It's a good wallet with enough functionalities.

I'm personally a Electrum user but I use it on desktop and laptop not on smartphone or any other mobile device.

It's not safe to use any smartphone wallet but if you don't care much about privacy or weak points of a smartphone then you may try Trust wallet.

I think that KYC cannot be avoided for services like buying BTC or Visa cards, unless the cards are only virtual. Paying bills directly with BTC with LN is something that would certainly be very useful to many, although it is possible without it with a combination of virtual cards and special apps in which such cards can be added.

However, the advantage of direct payment from the wallet is certainly that you convert BTC at the time of payment, and with virtual cards you sell a certain amount of BTC that is then on the card and you have to spend it sooner or later.

There are many other mobile wallets that are better than Trustwallet if they are not opposed to open or closed source.
I use many mobile wallets such as Safepal, Bitget, Okx Wallet, imToken, Unstopabble etc, and almost tried all mobile wallets.

Each wallet application has its own advantages and disadvantages, now I use Bitget Wallet more with the support of many chains and makes it easier to integrate with many chains to do several airdrop tasks and so on.

And electrum has been my Bitcoin wallet from the past until now.
It was the best Bitcoin wallet I used.

There are several advantages by using KYC, you will know the source of the funds used to buy Bitcoin, but you need to know that Bitcoin was created to make transactions more anonymous and if KYC is done for all Bitcoin users then the main purpose of Bitcoin is no longer valid so will allow many people to know the identity of the owner of the Bitcoin Holder in the wallet used.

~snip~

Those ideas about clean and dirty BTC are completely meaningless, because you will hardly find a single satoshi that was not involved in some "suspicious" transaction, as well as the fact that most of the money we have in our wallets very likely has a history of bad transactions. Therefore, KYC is only one additional risk for anyone who does it, because these data can be hacked at any time or used inappropriately by those who have access to them. Anyone who has ever been a victim of identity theft knows what I'm talking about.

Furthermore, Bitcoin was never designed for anonymous transactions, nor is it actually anonymous - it was invented to be a decentralized means of payment without the mediation of third parties. The fact is that Bitcoin has succeeded in this, because you or I can make a transaction at any time to anyone, anywhere without having to ask permission from anyone.
