Why am I feeling happy with the reply you gave to him on his request to know if you were a Bitcoin investment or notnot?  Because he really deserved the those cold reply  for trying to outsmart you thinking he can have acese to your wallet. I am staying in hostel on school campus and one day a fellow student who asked to see my phone went straight to my wallet, he succeeded to view my balance because I did not put it on password but he was so unlucky that he did not close all the tabs he opened on my phone. After I collected the phone I noticed he accessed my wallet and when I asked him why he did that, he said it's because of curiosity and that he is a Bitcoin lover and wants to learn but I asked him to go are learn from else where because am not telling him any thing. Some people don't have respect for others privacy and it's  not good.

It is unfortunate that you have been exposed to such a situation, but it is better to store your cryptocurrencies in a cold storage wallet and for the wallets on your phone to be watch-only, with some balance in other wallets for emergency purposes.
You must also choose the password so that it is unique and cannot be known by anyone, and avoid storing it digitally or in a place that is easy for others to access. If you are in a shared house, it is better to have a Multisig wallets where you leave one of the seeds in your house, and the other two in a safe and separate place.

I almost did the same thing, but I decided to open a new tab before refreshing the page and found that the post had already been posted.

Network error and I have been trying to refresh and reload for a successful upload on several occasions.
I am already deleting some of them off at this moment but not working out.

I just want to ask, is your cousin a kid or a young person? If it's the latter, then you've done well. It's not safe to trust anyone with your phone.

It's usually recommended to secure your personal apps on your devices using passwords or other security features. This is to prevent others from accessing your private information. I never let anyone access my mobile phone for any reason. All my mobile wallets, exchanges, or any app that accesses my funds are hidden on my phone, and only I know where they are.

Besides being a Bitcoin user, your phone often contains a lot of important data. If it's accessed by someone else, you could be at risk of theft or losing your funds or information. I've heard of situations where people's phones were accessed without permission, even when the person claimed to be making calls or watching movies as a friend or family member.

So my best advice would be not to give out your device where you access your funds, or hide them on your device in a way that only you can access.


It's not his fault. The forums server seems to be experiencing some technical difficulty and at this point is slow. So maybe op might have clicked the post button several times. So it's not his fault. Op, do well to delete them

@OP are you ok.

I don't understand why you posted the same topic three times, did you do it by mistake.

Most importantly in private and security situations pertaining your Bitcoin holding, trust no one and don't be so relaxed with the family that they would never betray you.
Just in I traveled to my place of origin and so also other relatives who lives apart came in too due to a family emergency occurance that everyone has to be present.

At our arrival in the central family from different destinations, it was actually a great and happy moment being around seeing ourselves because we all have not come together like that for long now.
At some point a cousin said to me that... Let me see your beautiful phone so I gave it to him, then I watched to see what he was doing in the phone. I found out he was trying to penetrate on my wallets but unlucky for him that they are all on passwords and at his notice that I am being observant, he began to point out those wallet Apps in my phone that... What App is this and this and this? What is it used for? And suspiciously, he was only after knowing what my wallets Apps are such as the Binance exchange, Ethereum and what I uses them for.
Then I told him some of them are system App which I don't even know about their importance and usage in the phone which I am hoping to delete them of from my phone sometimes because they are occupying spaces on my phone. He still stressed on to know why they are on passworded if I don't used them. And I asked him, so what are the Apps used for to your knowledge? He said to me that I must be a Bitcoin investor as he may guess and I asked him... Are you one of the Bitcoin investors? He said no that he does not even have an ideal of it and he was asking me if I could teach him about it because he heard it is a profitable investment. There i told him to let me know when he finds someone who would teach him about it so that we could both learn about it together because I am also looking for a flexible lucrative investment like that to engage on.

At this point I was able to close the chapter but yet I was not feeling safe with him anymore because the guy was so eager, desperate and curious to invade my mobil privacies with his sensitive questions.
This has thought me a lesson to encrypt my private Apps such as my wallets on a secret folder whereas it would be invisible even when my device is unlocked to the public accessibilities.
If you keep your Private documents hidden and invisible to the public, it saves you from sorts of risks.
I think that my cousin brother was up to some negative thoughts because he can't claim not to have known about what Bitcoin is and yet he knows about the Apps in used for it. Trust no one with your privacies and keep your source of income that has to be kept secret in a secret.
