If i send someone btc, can they see what kind of wallet i use?

Can they tell for example if i use a blockchain wallet or electrum?

From what little i understand depending on adress format they can only see if i use legacy or segwit wallet, nothing more than that. Is this true?

Thanks guys i really need some quick help here !

No

No

Yes

And you know wallet is just an interacting tool with the blockchain so your wallet doesn't store any bitcoin in it, its stored on the blockchain and if you have the private keys then you can control your wallet and even you can switch from one wallet to another wallet with the same address you did used earlier.

Well,Finding what kind of wallet doesn't really give any further information though.

In most cases, no one can identify what wallet you employed to send a transaction. Addresses don't contain any identifying information about the software you generated them with. For example, you can generate a private key in Bitcoin Core and then import it in Electrum. No one will notice anything at all. However, in some specific cases, it is possible to find out what type of software you used to make your transaction. One of the cases I can think of is a CoinJoin transaction in Wasabi wallet. These transactions are easily identifiable, and outside observers can safely assume that all addresses were a part of specific software.

Be careful with centralized exchanges, though. They are gradually starting to require their customers to disclose information about wallets.

All of the above is correct however, I'd like to add that if you're going to use custodial wallets (or exchanges) then that would make it easier to identify. Some services might even mark your transactions as "internal" or even show the username of the other party when he's using the same service as you.

If you want to hide your addresses from partners, then use mixers.
Mixers have anonymous payment function.
You enter the recipient's address and the payment amount, and the mixer gives you another address for payment.
Then the mixer will send the money itself.
I use this service:
Pay with Bitcoin anonymously!

or
PRECISE PAYMENT MODE
https://[banned mixer]/

All posts above are true.  So far, there's no way to determine what wallet software use and you can't determine only by the Bitcoin address used.  Though, not all Bitcoin wallets support different types of Bitcoin addresses format.

Determining what wallet format it is through the address starts with a bc1, 1, and 3, AFAIK.
Not all types of addresses are compatible with each other on all wallet platforms, there are instances a wallet platform didn't support bc1 addresses.

Determining all types of address are:

• Compatibility Address Format --> this address start with 3 or known P2SH.
• Segwit Address Format  --> this address start with bc1 or known Bench32
• Legacy Address Format  --> this address start with 1 or known P2PKH

By the looks of it, the OP generated a new account, posted the identical question in 3 subforums and left as soon as he got an answer out of one of them without closing any of the 3 identical topics he made...
It might be a good idear to let this one rest, it looks like the OP isn't coming back anyways...
