First of mobile wallet is not secure. Download mobile wallet from website is too risk. They always want permission media and photos, location and contract etc. Why need it?

That's right, it's better to download the app from the official AppStore and play store.
That's one way to get in and access your device, so we need to be careful.

This is actually a basic understanding that must be understood by beginners who are just adapting to the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Be sure to always check every application that you will download on the official website and social media from the application provider. Use links that are only pinned by the official website, do not easily believe the links that you get randomly on the internet or strangers who invite you.
If you are reckless, it will weaken your privacy security on your PC or smartphone.

I'm sure that those who are into crypto since last year knew that downloading new mobile wallet from play store can be dangerous, well this is for newbies who just entered crypto space this year, most top popular mobile wallets have fakes built by scammers too, before you download any wallet find its website and download through the link instead

So you are saying that the wallets from Google Play are not safe?
Are you talking about the dedicated wallets from different projects, or all the wallets?
Universal wallets like Electrum/Trust/Mycelium are also included? I find your statement a bit bizarre, if true.

Agree, we must be careful in choosing a wallet that we download from the Play Store. In addition, choosing a mobile wallet that is trusted and used by many people is safer. Currently, there are 2 mobile wallet that I use, namely Trust Wallet and Imtoken

I would also suggest they search on coinmarketcap for the cryptocoins they wish to download. It's much safer to get their wallets and websites this way.
Not really a good idea to get them through google, twitter, telegram search due to the numerous fakes that exist.

You are very right, I prefer using Coinmarketcap for projects website and app downloads as google may not differentiate between a real and a phishing site. Anyone going straight to download from the Play store is at great risk of getting the wrong version, funny people may not pay attention to this piece advice.

take references from coinmarketcap didnt guarantee that its not phising site or real. some of them could be real project but its only happen in few months after that they will be scammed project. we often to see it , maybe using wallet that recommended by reputable crypto influencer will be better and safer.

This is not for newbies only, some high member accounts on this forum can do stupid things as well, some even buy accounts and you notice how stupid they are once they start posting on here, my advice is to avoid unofficial links to download wallets, playstore is better now

those who buy accounts with a high ranking does not mean they are those who have the experience not to be fooled. because now the price of the account is very cheap and it's not difficult to get it. those who are experienced will not be fooled by this kind. some fake wallets that will lose our money.

Op is right that when newbie will download any wallet by searching in play store would be dangerous due to many fake wallets published there. People should aware during download any crypto wallet. Always should choose a official source. I have listed the top 50  coins wallet names and official source of these coins. In near future I will add more.

That's the first thing need to do if we play store user, Must be careful always downloading mobile wallet and can be deposited altcoins on them. Because there are times that can going to be scam and lost your coins you have in your wallet. Most of the mobile wallet we download in the play store are not safe enough so ask first to those person using on it before to do some move.

It is true, we must be careful since being aware is not enough to avoid this kind of scam. We should always remember that not all application in playstore is legit. And of course, it is better to download wallet files directly from the legit websites to avoid downloading the cloned wallets or those fake wallets createf by scammers.

All altcoins we have are important on us so we must be protected it before its to late.
Dont rush read some more advice in the other people knows the apps that we want to downloaded so we can aware on it.

This is very important and useful information.
The OP should read this and embed it on page 1 so that many members can read this clearly.

I also strongly recommend the newbie and everyone involved in crypto to ensure that the downloaded and installed application must be completely official from the service provider. Make sure to open an official website to avoid dangerous links.

Researching may require an excessive amount of time and exertion however it is unquestionably valuable since it will give you a superior comprehension with respect to various crypto wallets. Despite the fact that occasionally newbies fail to acknowledge how researching can control them on choosing which wallet can make their assets safe and made sure about from con artists and hackers. They have to understand that it is our obligation to secure our assets that is the reason finding a dependable wallet is an absolute necessity to guarantee that hackers won't discover a chance to abuse our assets and resources

The best thing to do is not to search directly on the playstore but to get the link directly on the website to make sure you will be downloading the correct wallet application. I don't use mobile wallet app since I have lost my phone a year ago. It was difficult retrieving the acces since I have lineked my phone number to my e-mail and verification.

You can get number after visiting the card office that you use and you can also access e-mail that you have linked to that number. and for the wallet I agree with you that we have to go to their site first

[Swordsoffreedom]

It is really very dangerous for us, not for newbies but also professionals. while searching on play store we also get confused at times. If you are not alert, you can be victim of fraud. so you should be aware, it better to download from the original website without having to search on Play Store. If you want to download wallet from play store you should verify the app reviews and total user statistics.

Downloading a fake cryptocurrency wallet might be a real problem for newbies. The best way to search for official Apps is visiting the official websites of the developers.

Yes, because at the moment the fake cryptocurrency wallet with the real one is very similar, so beginners will not easily distinguish fake ones from the real ones, so the perfect solution is to visit the official website through a search engine like Google.

You're right that would be the safest way to download a wallet app. Scammers are doing their best to take advantage the newbies (actually even old investors here) in crypto thus its better to be very careful when searching. It would be better if you read reviews and experience first of those who already use it before downloading to make sure you wont get any problem if you installed it.

not only for beginners but for most crypto users need to be careful before using a cellular wallet especially when accessing it through Playstore, most of the cellular wallet there is almost similar to the original wallet. and I agree with you, that visit their official website first before downloading a cellphone wallet on Playstore
