Personally, I suggest the Coinomi app, it is easy to use, even though this isn't a full open-source Bitcoin wallet app but at least you have full control over your key.

Coinomi is a very bad app to suggest, for exactly the reasons everyone is saying above. Trust. If they're not fully open source, why should you trust them? Even if they give you your keys, what's to say there isn't something hidden in the code that exposes your key somehow? It's got to be fully open source. Electrum, for example. Even Bitamp (web wallet) I'd trust more!

The easiest wallet is associated with wallet which has the most friendly UI. I use Edge for Bitcoin, BRD for Ether and Ownr wallet for EOS.

If you don’t have 0.1 #BTC or don’t want to use IOS app you can join Chaincase from your @wasabiwallet desktop and coinjoin 0.01

Unstoppable wallet works great on iPhone, easy to use, simple design. Plus it is non-custodial and open source.

What wallet is best for leaving small amounts of btc on phone?


Are there ppl that have huge amounts of btc on their phone?  Its still safe though as long as you put a password on it right?  What about having the iphone lock password only or is that not enough?

I use Blue wallet (iOS). It's open source, updated regularly, non custodial and even supports Lightning in case you ever want to play around with it.

I've seen people using their old phones as some kind of cold storage wallet. AFAIK, it makes sense considering that it's probably much easier to get a malware on your regular PC (specially if you are on Windows) than on your iPhone.

However, if it's your day-by-day phone, you should just leave small amounts there for potential 'real life' transactions. If you lose it, there is no way to access it unless there are vulnerabilities to bypass the lock and/or jailbreak it, but that would also require physical access to the device and you can always move your coins to another wallet (assuming you have the backup seed, which you should) before anyone even thinks about accessing it.

And of course you should put a password on both the phone and the wallet. The more the better. Smiley

Would you carry all the money (which you got in BTC on your mobile) with you in cash in your wallet?
If yes, then go for it. If not, then don't do it with BTC on a mobile wallet.

As TryNinja already mentioned, mobiles are usually more secure than windows computer.
But still, one shouldn't store large amounts of BTC on an network-connected device (regardless whether it is ios, android, linux or windows).

I believe easy of use should be accompanied by security. In order to drive adoption, crypto wallets should be designed in such a way that they can be appealing to first time users. I have used so many wallets in the past and for some, I had to uninstall them right after downloading. I have finally settled with Atomic Wallet because it supports multiple coins/tokens and it is non-custodial. I has one of the nicest UI with the latest having price charts for most of the assets.

I think they should also know that hot wallet are not ideal to store a lot of money, as mentioned above. Would be nice if all hot wallets regardless on iPhone or Android give a notification that their app is not suitable for long-term storage in most cases. Since newbies probably won't start learning and just use the app + skipping some guides.
