Can I Recover a Mobile Wallet on Desktop Using 12-Word Phrases

[Zaguru12]

I am sorry but I do not seem to get this. Can you explain custom seed phrase and how to know if that is what a wallet uses?

What I meant is a more like a different seed phrase that the wallet uses aside the most commonly used BIP39 words. This makes it a custom seed phrase for that particular wallet and can only be used to recover a wallet with that specific wallet alone or some wallets that supports that seed phrase. You will Know if a wallet generates a different seed phrase aside the seed phrase from the BIP49 2048 custom wordlists by checking their FAQ or wallet details.

I now know that both Sparrow and Blue Wallet doesn't have a mobile version. They were just hypothetical cases. Now I know, I would have to use Electrum Bitcoin wallet for Android, Exodus wallet or any other reputable bitcoin mobile wallet. I am going to try things out like you have suggested.

BlueWallet does has a mobile wallet both Android and iOS versions. I can even testify to you that I have once used the IOS version and it supports almost all the features of a wallet most especially the fee bumping features and UTXO control buttons

I do not know if you also mean Electrum bitcoin wallet for Android or you mean Electrum and bitcoin wallet for Android.

I meant Electrum wallet.

The best bitcoin Android wallets that I have used are Electrum, Bluewallet and Samurai but you will need to go to settings to enable somethings like RBF to make it worth it if you want to use Samurai.

Update, I have downloaded Bluewallet from my Google Play store. After testing it, then I'll do the same with Electrum wallet. I'll stick with these two for now.

Thank you buttressing hosseinimr93 answer. I will have to develop the habit of reading the FQA of these wallets.

I have downloaded the BlueWallet and will explore it in the context of my OP.

Thank you all for your contributions.

They are both good wallets with similar features. Mobile Electrum also support features like bumping fee, coin control and others.

Con of Electrum mobile wallet is that customizing fee on it is hard and not accurate as it supposed to be. I wish the fee slider is like how it is on Sparrow which is very accurate while setting the fee rate.

Con of Bluewallet is that it is not lite to load. This may make it frustrating for those that are using small browsing phones with low processor. It is also not supporting passphrase generation but it is supporting passphrase import with seed phrase

The main reason I posted this is to just give you a warning but which I think you are very much aware of. That online wallet are not as safe as cold wallets. It is a mobile wallet, just for small amount of coins.

It is better and safer to download Electrum from their original website^[1], there are a lot of fake and phishing applications lurking in Google playstore and you will lose your funds if you download a fake wallet. You should also download BlueWallet from their original website^[2], even if it redirects you to playstore or appstore, you'll still be certain you are interacting with the right application.
