Whenever i install a mobile wallet on some of my friends or families phone i try to only install open source software that definitely has you in charge of your private keys! There are some key things that every bitcoin wallet should provide, like segwit support for example.So far my knowledge is this:- Samourai (Android only / Still in Alpha / wont let you use BitPay / Full Segwit support / Open source / Experimental privacy features)- GreenAddress (Not the most modern Interface / Privacy concerns with email/sms login? but ok / Segwit support (fully supported? not sure?) / Open source / iOS & Android supported )- Blue Wallet (iOS only / Still early development / Full Segwit support / Open Source )- Edge (Only client side open source / focus not only bitcoin / actually not sure if the fully support segwit) <- actually im quite skeptical about this wallet for some reason maybe someone knows more about itall the other apps like CoPay, Mycelium, Electrum, Jaxx, Enjin either dont support segwit fully or are not fully open source.what am i missing? are these the only few options if you want full segwit support, open source bitcoin wallets? its ok if the wallet i am looking for is only supporter on either iOS or Android but it seems there are still few options that live up to high standarts.Id like to hear your alternatives or your thoughts for this topic since i think its a very critical thing for user adoption not to have scammy wallets full of advertising with no security or privacy standards.I mainly use Samourai myself but its not a officially stable wallets by the developers even but i support them so this is why i use it. But you can't recommend it to someone new or as a standard kind of soloution.For iOS my experience is very limited since i never owned an iPhone but its a huge market and i used to recommend Copay but i think its not a very good option.. for the moment i would go for GreenAddress or BlueWallet.Let me know what ou think please via /r/Bitcoin https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/9wdldo/bitcoin_mobile_wallets_in_2018_androidios/?utm_source=ifttt
