Desktop wallet vs Mobile wallet

Between mobile and a desktop wallet which one do you prefer the most and why? Again I think desktop wallets have more open source wallets than mobile, which desktop wallet is the best open-source wallet that you know of?

Personally, desktop and mobile wallets adapt to where the token network is located. Desktop Wallet does have a lot of open sources and you don't have to go through a lot of pages when you want to connect to it. While mobile wallets are mostly like when using Metamask, sometimes having to open multiple pages and connecting them to the mobile version of Metamask is a bit tricky.

If you have to use desktop wallets please and please dedicated that PC for wallet only, do not install any browser on the PC, I think this is more safer this way than using such PC for browsing on the internet, the fear of malware attacks is why I'm saying all this.

I would not use a mobile wallet, because it is not a safe solution to store your funds, especially if we are talking about an Android phone. At most, it's a mobile wallet for making some small crypto payments, and that no more funds come in. I choose a desktop wallet paired with a hardware wallet. In my opinion, this is the best solution in terms of management and security of your cryptocurrencies.

I prefer desktop over mobile wallet caused by i can encrypt it easily rather than use mobile wallet. The problem is when you are using mobile wallet and you are using your personal phone that used for the daily activities and you will not know whether you have been clicking something that looks suspicious or not. This means your wallet will be targetted by scammer to be hacked. so many hacked cases happened in the mobile wallet instead of desktop wallet.

True and desktop wallet have more security compared with mobile wallet. In my opinion that you can take a look at electrum or something like exodus.

Mobile wallets are safer from viruses, trojans and malware but desktop wallets are been installed on a OS that's prone to malware and viruses, browsing on a PC that wallets are been installed on are not safe.

I only use mobile wallet when I am aiming to buy something in a store that has crypto payment method, which currently is non-existent around my area. One mobile wallet I use has some quite convenient feature of giving me a credit for my network service provider in order to send SMS, so that is pretty convenient in my end and I would take it in any way.
I don't really use desktop wallet a lot except that I usually isolate it in a separate machine that is only for crypto purposes only and not to be used for browsing.
In the end, it depends on the usage of each.

I prefer a mobile wallet, why? because I think when I have a mobile wallet, I can anytime and anywhere to make transactions, unlike desktop wallets, I have to open a PC first to execute transactions. As far as I know, AtomicDEX is the best desktop wallet, because apart from having a non-custodial wallet feature, AtomicDEX also has a DEX feature in it. You can trade decently and this wallet supports various blockchains.

Both are good but your needs will be the main factor when deciding which one to use, personally I am always looking to have my coins as secure as possible and as such a desktop wallet is the best option for me, I do indeed have a mobile wallet, however I seldom use it as the opportunities to use bitcoin where I live to actually purchase something are incredibly limited, so most of the stuff I have bought with bitcoin online have been bought from my PC while using a desktop wallet.

I use the both of them. Mobile wallet is portable and you can carry it anywhere unlike desktop wallet. If you the kind of guy who currently checks his portfolio then mobile wallet is suited for you. I use the desktop one because some features isn't found in mobile wallets, aside from that the screen is bigger. I have metamask, crypto.com, trustwallet in me and I am also using some 4 different exchanges with small amounts of coins.

[ardydyon]

mobile and desktop wallets are options that we can customize according to our needs.
for me, mobile or desktop wallets are the same because both are open source.
currently for me the best open source wallet is metamask.
this is a very easy to use wallet for desktop. adding tokens, coins, network is also very easy
I think metamask is a solution for those of you who like to use a desktop wallet.

[Strongkored]

looks like all crypto users will be need both, mobile and desktop versions. both have advantages and disadvantages but also users will need both for various possibilities such as the mobile version will be more easily accessible when traveling and the desktop will often be used when normal conditions are at home because it is easier to use with more complete features than mobile.

I prefer desktop instead of mobile wallet. I can't deny that if mobile wallet much more easier to be used in our daily activities but i care about the security of my funds and keeping all of my tokens in the my PC was the best idea so far. There are so many opensource wallet. If you wanna go for the ethereum open source wallet and you may go with MEW. This wallet is opensource wallet that can be used for another chain that was also compatible with ethereum blockchain just like BSC, AVAX and many more.
I think that MEW was also available in the mobile form too, that will be a very interesting wallet for you. im sure about that.

Both.
When I go outside, I'm loading my mobile wallet just in case that there's a need to spend for some things that I might like. It's not the whole holdings that I go out with.
But I'm loading it up so that I have some balance also for extra money. For desktop wallet, if it's for bitcoin then the best choice would be these wallets.
- Wasabi
- Electrum
That's just for bitcoin alone and if it's with the altcoins, you choose whether they're the multi currency wallets or the wallets alone like myethereum for eth and so on.

I prefer mobile wallets because they are easier to access and they go anywhere you go, you cant take a PC with you when you are going away from your home, another reason why I dont like PC wallets is the easy way of getting compromised through internet browsing on the PC, mobile wallets are safer.

Mobile wallets such as TRUST wallet are proven to be very safe, I have used it for more than 3 years and have never had a problem, while my desktop wallet has been hacked, currently I strictly limit the use of desktop wallets, if the transaction is complete, I immediately switch to a mobile wallet.

[Pejoh Asu]

I prefer a desktop wallet because I'm actively trading, some desktop wallets that I usually use are Metamask, and other Chrome extensions, as long as I use a desktop wallet I never encounter any problems, because I always make sure that the PC has antivirus protection that is always updated so that when a malicious program enters it will be blocked automatically.

I have both but I seldom used a mobile wallet, only for convenience. I'm more of a desktop wallet user since the beginning of my crypto journey.

Perhaps it's due to the security as well, we all know that a mobile wallet can be lost or and most of the time you are online and you don't know, maybe hackers are just around the corner. Or maybe you slip up and uses a public wifi and we all know that they can sniff everything.

[Mpamaegbu]

Mobile wallet is more accessible for me. The fact that I'm able to have access to my wallet on transit thrills me more. I've read comments on how disadvantageous a mobile wallet is but I'm yet to experience any issue using it. I like to keep my stuff simple and I guess that's why it works well for me. No unnecessary clicking of links on my phone. If a link doesn't show a secured url, I avoid it no matter how someone told me the site makes juicy offers or could be the next best thing to the Nigerian jollof rice. That's my simple method for years and I believe that's why I haven't caught any malware.

IMO, I think it depends on your personal needs and purposes because both versions of desktop and mobile wallets have their own advantages and disadvantage, for example, a desktop wallet is so big and heavy that's why it is not suitable for mobility while a mobile wallet is more convenient to use because you can bring it wherever you go so that's one of the advantages of a mobile wallet but in terms of security I think Desktop wallet is more reliable compare to a mobile wallet.  But again it will be based on your purposes and needs that's my stand about it. 

[cryptoknightt]

All of that is your own choice, both have their own advantages and disadvantages. but in my personal opinion a cellphone wallet is very simple and very worth it in this sophisticated era. because it makes it very easy for us but with a note having a sophisticated cellphone or the latest one

Desktop wallet has more features other than just sending and receiving cryptos, it featured signing and verification of messages for authentications, I used Electrum and Metamask desktop both has friendly user interface, while I also used mobile version of Electrum and blockchain just for quick access to wallet for a quick transactions while I use the desktop wallet for a more complex task that can't be access via mobile wallet in a nut shell I used both desktop and Mobile wallet.
