People mining with mobile phones, is it possible?

[Ayebabara]

Like in my territory I always saw people mining with mobile phones and other machines and it throws me into doubts that maybe they don't really know what they are doing sometimes it makes me to as myself some questions if mining with a mobile phone is possible.

The process is supposed the be with special machines that that are supported by the system or that are made specifically for mining purposes. I also wants to used this medium or previllege to ask this question that which device is the best mining machine and I want public experts to lecture the beginners with some quality recaps and knowledge of mining in the digital marketing and crypto currency world.
We been left in doubt that people do mention the word mining gold, mining Bitcoin and many others as well.
I also want the public expertee y put the beginners through with little knowledge of the term mining so that the way forward or the road can easily be threatened by them the beginners.
Hearing the word mining and the devices used in mining sounds so good and interesting.

People with good knowledge of it should enlightened the beginners with more encouraging tips for us not to think that we are stressing ourselves over bad and meaningless energy.

it is a false app that pretends to mine btc.

it also pays pennies a day.

but it does pay various tokens

and likely kills your phone from heat

Just stay away from the apps. If Google still have them, it is highly disappointing but expected.

In 2020 I tried it on my phone, it was a waste of time. It will generate very little reward that is not enough for me at all. I read that it was also using my phone CPU so I did not use it to mine more than some hours and I stopped it. Mining difficulty was high at the time, but it is now much more higher, which means lower profit.

Such apps if still existing should be avoided like the plague. You are giving that software access to your phone which has a ton of important stuff that you care about and it will keep sending those data to network you never knew existed. That is how they make money from these apps.

What you are getting is the false satisfication that you are mining something. But mining can only be done on ASICs with proper power supply not a phone and its CPU.

Stuff like Electroneum existed back in the ICO days, it was a scam and so are these.

Be careful when using those mining apps; sometimes it is not mining coin but mining data from you.
It works similarly to Honeygain or GetGrass; they only pay you pennies if that app is paying in BTC. I am sure you will gain a very small amount of sats.

Meaning, those apps are useless for mining BTC.
You can only mine BTC using an ASIC-specialized machine designed specifically for BTC mining.

If it were possible to mine on a phone, you could buy old models on the used phone market for $30-50 for this purpose without worrying about protecting your personal information. But there don't seem to be any such profitable apps right now.
I haven't heard of any such large-scale projects in a long time.

Well, I can get a much cheaper price than $30 for a good phone or an iPhone 7 if the app exists and is profitable; I can buy those units and run them 24/7, but I can't find any mining apps. Some apps, such as Grass, function similarly to bandwidth something, rewarding participants with Grass.
Helium also supports mobile mining of HNT, but I'm not sure if that still exists, and none of them use hardware (CPU/GPU) to mine coins.

I remember one. I'm sure anyone here has heard of Cryptotab. It supports mobile and actually runs your CPU at full speed. If you use it, expect your phone to get hot and die after a few days. Cryptotab has many bad reviews, and most of them says none profitable or the withdrawal is stuck.

So it's hard to find a legit one that actually works on mobile.

If the app uses the phone's processor at its maximum capacity, any mining experiment will end in a broken, inexpensive mobile phone bought at a used market. Then the newbie will lose $50 and learn from their own experience that there's no point in doing such nonsense.
I can only advise experimenting with your old phones or buying inexpensive used models for this purpose.
Don't try this on your regular phone.

If it doesn't use the hardware to perform computation, then it can't be called mining at all. There are too many app or altcoin (such as dubious Pi coin) that wrongly use term "mining".

Even Pi Coin's developers don't call it mining. Their network is supported by third-party nodes, and the phone app is used to obtain a few project tokens.

According to the software, no calculations are performed, and the app doesn't consume internet traffic or electricity. To obtain tokens, you simply press a button in the app according to the schedule.
