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
Mainly, more than half of the android wallets are dangerous and can be hacked easily. I understand that now not all people have PC or laptop, especially in Africa. But choosing where to store coins, on Android or PC, I'll choose second I think that an existing wallet on an android or mobile wallet is sufficient as long as we store the word seeds safely. Mobile wallet such as Trust Wallet is one wallet that is widely used and is one of the safest wallet.

Yeah right, we need to find various information related to the wallet that we want to download. Now many scammers add Malware to the applications they create, so if we download it then the important privacy data like passwords will be easy for them to get it. Yes right better to download on their official site.

Yes I think that as a newbies they should not trust mobile apps that they will see in Google play store because even though it is from google play. They should pay attentin on what can happen and they should put attention on what they will do in those downloadable app that shows cryptocurrency because it might be an app developed by the scammers or hacker that might try to hack your information on yourself. My advise to newbies and beginners here in cryptocurrencies is be wary of your surroundings always and dont let your guard down because you will not know what can happen to you once ypu met scammers and if they will try to scam you. Dont trust strangers here and have someone that you know that you know well.

One thing I've learnt from this space is that, it's unwise to rush into anything. Downloading a wallet address could seem very harmless from a distance, but one still needs to be very careful and ask questions or carry out some research. One easy way to detect fake wallet is to check the number of downloads and always download wallet, only after verifying that the wallet is widely used and a substantial number of people have downloaded it.

new comers on crypto must review or they must look the comments before downloading the wallet if its good or not to prevent the hacker to steal thier info.

There are a lot of projects in the market that have to be downloaded from the Google Play Store because the projects that are distributed to you are wallets. There are possibilities and details about what their future plans are we will download the apps knowing information system.

A very nice information, but I think these days the issues of fake wallets in playstore have been downsized but then it's still good to be careful,also if you are downloading through the website, be sure of the link you are using,make sure it's not a phishing link.

Never download untrusted wallets to your phone or computer. It is very dangerous and can steal your information at any time, in 2018 my friend has stolen all his assets when using an unreliable wallet. Download only verified and trusted wallets in this market

Always pay attentions with information regarding to anything that you'll going to download or use especially when it comes to assets, if there's money involves it always prone to scammers and hackers, be careful and furious in using any applications. Sad to say that this industry also have people who are scamming others to earned.

I also think that if someone is new to the coin market then he should buy or download mobile wallet from a tested and reputed website. This does not apply not only for newbies , It applies to everyone in crypto world .

Very good information, because in the technological era there are now many cybercriminals who justify any means to benefit from others, not only beginners but all crypto users must be careful of this crime.

I agree with this. In this cryptocurrency market, scams are easy. They can install viruses or worms into the fake application - which you will download and enter information into such as accounts or passwords, etc. Once you have entered, your account information will be sent to the hacker, and you will lose everything you have. Also, lots of people lose money on fake websites. The addresses of these fake websites are only different from the real ones, so if you're not careful, it's easy to be tricked into accessing phishing websites. Therefore, it is advisable for you to bookmark the necessary addresses and you will know that you are visiting a valid website.

and that is indeed true. Almost all crypto wallets registered in the PlayStore app are very dangerous. You can experience losing assets after downloading it. third parties are one of the reasons, because they can track or know the private key of your cellphone wallet.

I always advice anyone joining the crypto space to be mindful and watchful of scams and malicious ways of getting scammed in the industry. One quick way people get invaded and their assets stolen remains malware and Spyware implantation due to unsolicited downloads. You can easily get a malware by going about downloading all kinds and forms of apps which may have been designed by the developers just to steal your private information. As a rule, it is completely advisable to only stick to the top wallet brands like trust wallet, imtoken, enjin etc. These are all really good and recognized wallets in the industry making it difficult to fall prey to the several fake ones out there.

Not just for newbies, but everyone needs to be careful about this. Never download wallets from unreliable websites, and never download wallets of new projects because it's dangerous. Property and information on your computer can be stolen at any time

And the OP has suggested that we should visit the official website of the wallet provider. Phishing websites, fake applications, are often used by fraudsters to steal our personal data. The crypto world does offer freedom and privacy, we are fully responsible for the security of our accounts and assets, so we should adapt and learn security related matters. Moreover, this is related to the internet, just a small gap can make your account and device hacked.
