It wasn't ever compromised.

Just keep in mind that open source does not mean invincible. There're many cases where open source app has bugs here and there. What you can guarantee is probably that the developer does not take your data (especially if you build the app from scratch on your own after checking all lines of the code). Don't fall for a false sense of security.

OP, first choice is BlueWallet as suggested. Another good/functional wallet for IOS is GreenAddress, which is continued to be maintained by the developers of Blockstream.

I use Ownr wallet app on my iPhone. This wallet is relatively young and not so popular, but it offers such features as importing an old wallet and generating many Bitcoin accounts.

It is better not to suggest it for beginners because there are a lot of closed source wallets that have turned into scam.

Open-source wallets are considered to be more trustworthy because the developers have nothing to hide, but I've been using Ownr for a year or more. It wasn't ever compromised.

Personally, I can only recommend software which is open source, and this usually applies to almost all walks of life, but particularly encouraged if you are using it for finance related things such as handling money. Bluewallet as suggested by others is probably the most popular choice. Remember, whatever software you are using, you want to be able to trust it with the information you're giving it. If that's a private key you want to be sure that its secure, hence the suggestion of a open source wallet since it can be verified by not only you, but others.

Also, doesn't really offer anything better than open source alternatives, not that I would wholeheartedly recommend people to use IOS wallets for anything other than a watch only wallet.

BTC price road to $80k

Also, check Coinomi as another wallet option for IOS, they support many coins but they don't have feature for watch-only and it's a closed-source wallet just like TrustWallet.

To avoid phiahing I'm going to post the right URL below.

@OP You can also use Trustwallet if you're interested in watching multiple cryptocurrencies. Both importing wallets/watch-only are supported.

Take node that Trustwallet is closed-source wallet, which means it has less transparency compared with open-source wallet such as Bluewallet.

for watch-ony use electrum Grin

AFAIK, Electrum is available for OSX (Mac) and not iOS.

It is best to avoid using IOS OS because there are not many actively developing wallets on that system.
you can use greenaddress wallet, bitpay, hodler.tech (Some risk.) Try them with small amounts. If you intend to invest a lot of money, use another operating system or hardware wallet.

~~for watch-ony use electrum~~ Grin

Sorry for this

It's unclear whether you want to be able to spend from these wallets or just want see their balances... but either way, Bluewallet should do the trick.

You can use the watch-only feature (https://bluewallet.io/watch-only/) to keep an eye on balances, or import wallets (to spend from) using a seed.

Hi, i'm looking for a good IOS app that I can import multiple bitcoin wallets into. Only needs to support btc, but would like to have multiple wallets that I can view the balances of easily.

Any suggestions?
