Can address scanning save me?

How do you guys find that the device is infected if it's a smartphone?

I just assume it's not safe

So the conclusion is, we should assume that the device is infected already so installing a wallet on it doesn't make any sense.

To state the fact, I have been using Electrum on my Android for years and haven't fall for any tricks yet, just using QR scanner for every TX, double check the chars, and keep the playprotect ON.

I prefer to just not put too much in it.

I haven't had security problems with different wallets on mobile either. At one point I even had much more value in Forkcoins than I was comfortable with in one of them (with consent from the owner of the coins). But for my own piece of mind, I feel much better when there's just "pizza money" in there. If I lose it, I can afford to lose it.

Hello dear bitcoiners!

if i suspect that my mobile device might be infected, such that if i copy and paste an address, it could be replaced by a scammer. Then i decided to use the QR code and scan method, will I still be vulnerable?

the qr code and scan method is much safter but if your phone has already been infected then it is still risky and the manual verification is your safety net to be honest. thinking is this way is great your protecting yourself from scammers
