Android users have plenty of quality wallets, but this one might be interesting for iOS users since the availability there is somewhat limited.

According to the announcement, Bull Wallet can be connected to a personal node, and it can function as a Bitcoin-only or multi-currency wallet. They claim there is no tracking or data collection. For now it can only function as a companion app for Coldcard, but they plan to release support for other popular hardware wallet brands in the future. Users can also send and receive payments via Payjoin, and the developers seem to have developed a unique backup scheme called Recoverbull, which is still in the works.

Their timeline for the future looks interesting:
- Silent Payments
- Multisig and miniscript
- Nostr-based chat
- LN integration

Since it's a self custodial and no-KYC wallet, I assume the exchange option, which is showing on the display of the wallet preview, should not be functioning yet because the BullBitcoin exchange I know about is not KYC-free; you need to pass basic KYC before you can be able to use the buy crypto option through the card or bank payment option.

I installed Bull Bitcoin wallet few days ago for testing just because they are supporting Liquid Bitcoin.
What I am interested is comparing it to Aqua wallet for converting Bitcoin mainnet to Liguid Bitcoin, and vice versa.
I can't find information what they are using in the background for this swaps.

However, I would stay away from their Bull Bitcoin exchange that is integrated inside wallet and can ask for KYC at any time and for any reason!

I had come across this wallet before, but never paid much attention. However, it has some features that I appreciate, such as BIP-85 and layer 2 support (LN + Liquid). Interesting, I'll give it a try.

I don't see any reason to use these integrated self-custody wallet instant-exchanges swaps.

BullBitcooin just added support for SeedSIgner DIY signing device!
It's easy to connect with QR codes and everything is open source and self-custodial:

I don't see any reason to use these integrated self-custody wallet instant-exchanges swaps.

They created both wallet and exchange, so I see clear reason why they added this, and they probably had to comply with strict regulations in Canada.
I would probably do something else, but nobody is forcing people to use their exchange.

I don't see any reason to use these integrated self-custody wallet instant-exchanges swaps.

Nothing other than conveniences, I suppose (and unfortunately, a lot of people value this more than security). The number of instant exchange services on the market suggests that some people prefer them to opening an exchange account to trade their coins. Looks like everyone requires KYC, though, so it's no surprise they might ask one too.

Ignorance makes many see no risks of KYC and then looking at the fact that they often want something, moving with social norms, this is often not an issue until a data breach cost them or someone they know something.

Just updated my bull wallet IOS version and notice auto swap have been enabled by default which I have to reconfigure and turned it off, the default target amount is small and could easily be reached if someone don’t check on the setting you could wake up to see the rest of your bitcoin which exceeds the balance-swapped.

To support your information, I share reviews from walletscrutiny.com on the Bull wallet with links below. If searching with Bull, there are other Bull wallets, so be careful.

The information Wallet Scrutiny shows is interesting. They call the Android version of the wallet only "BULL", while the iOS version is "BULL BITCOIN." Also, the developer is different. "Bull Bitcoin" is written for the Android software and "Satoshi Portal Inc" for iOS.

For what it's worth, their GitHub repository's account name is "SatoshiPortal" while their organization is called "BULL BITCOIN".

But yeah, it's inconsistent and may lead to confused newbies once a fake app with similar developer name made it in any of those app platforms.

I think the AutoSwap feature should be turned off by default, and if anyone needs it, they could turn it on, but it should not be vice versa as it is now. 

Also, I think that Wallets should be clean and there should be no swapping features. Yeah, having swap features may be convenient as you do not have to move your coins anywhere to swap them, but the swapping services offered by the wallets are usually expensive as compared to the swaps available through dedicated crypto swap exchanges.

Bull Bitcoin Wallet has been updated to v.6.11.1, and this release focuses mainly on transparency before signing or sending, smoother swap handling, and improved syncing reliability. I’d also like to highlight several bug fixes, especially the one related to PSBT QR codes for Jade HW ^{so owners of this hardware wallet should be pleased with this release}.

[satscraper]

Bull Bitcoin Wallet has been elevated to v.6.12.2 featuring  new Coins (UTXO) view for inspecting and freezing individual outputs, NFC signing support for Coldcard, Bluetooth support for BitBox02 Nova on iOS, and the ability to set sub-1 sat/vByte fee rates.  The release also fixes numerous bugs across sending/receiving, swaps, wallet sync, and dark-mode UI, plus a couple of stability crashes.
