Hey all, we wrote a guide on how to create watch only wallets on Desktops, Android phones, and iPhones.

https://whotookmycrypto.com/watch-only-wallets/

In summary, if you are a Ledger wallet user, you are in luck as they offer options on all platforms (mobile phones and desktops) for creating watch only wallets. If you use other wallets, you may need to consider other options:
1) Desktop -> Electrum
2) iPhone -> bitWallet
3) Android -> Sentinel

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Nice guide, you even mention risks of exposed xpub and private key generated from the xpub Smiley

You might want to mention Ledger/Trezor user also can use any software besides "official" software to make watch-only wallet.

You can use Electrum in your Android phone as well, which is more reliable than sentinel (in my opinion)
Nice guide.

Thanks for the comments @ETFbitcoin. Yes, that part wasn't clear and would try to find where best to incorporate that. Thanks.

Nice guide.

Thanks for highlighting that @bitmover. Hadn't realized Electrum was on Android too!
