I'm not sure if it tracks the user or not? but its android wallet version is a noncustodial wallet and it's like trust wallet is a closed source, so it is not a safe solution for us.
Electrum is currently considered the best open source software wallet today, in addition to the desktop version, there is also an android version that you can replace your coinbase wallet. My only regret is that the electrum wallet still doesn't have an IOS version.

My question is, does coinbase know and keep track of who I am sending bitcoin to with the mobile coinbase wallet? Should I consider another wallet?
Thanks
Why are you using coinbase wallet in the first place, like there are no better noncustodial wallet like electrum?Thanks
Obviously, they can keep track of your transactions and even provide the information to your Government if requested.

I tried to send bitcoin through coinbase.com and they would not allow the transfer to an online news agency bitcoin address.
About a week or so later I got an Email and Coinbase made me fill out a form about why I was trying to send bitcoin to this address. It was for $5 dollars worth.
I later learned that this news agency was sanctioned by USA and it was under Russian disinformation website. I had no idea as I thought it was just a news website that offered an alternative perspective than what the USA media is telling us about the war. I mean who would have thought the USA government would sanction news right?
Coinbase made me fill out a bunch of questions about why I was sending $5 bitcoin here, even though it never got sent. They asked the reasons and how I was affiliated with this organization. They said it was their due diligence or something, even though the bitcoin never got sent on coinbase.com
Kind of pissed they made me fill this out and I had no choice because they threatened to ban my account.
I did actually send bitcoin to this Russian organization with my mobile coinbase wallet as they did not block me sending bitcoin to this bitcoin address with the mobile wallet.
My question is, does coinbase know and keep track of who I am sending bitcoin to with the mobile coinbase wallet? Should I consider another wallet?
