Is there any relation between closed source and open source wallet and only one of them is able to import the private keys or wallet with mnemonic phrases?
No.
Whether or not a wallet allow you to import a private key or seed phrase depends on how it has been designed by developers.

I am not sure what is wrong with that app but it's becoming very complicated over the time. Whenever I click on the New wallet addition it instantly creates new wallet, gives me new address and there is just no option at all where I can import external address.
To import a private key in mycelium, tap on 3 dot button at top right corner of the screen, select "Add account" and then tap on "Advanced & More".
After that, you will see options to import a single private key through copy-pasting or scanning a QR code.


It just don't show as the main one
That's what expected.
The address you want to sign message from has been already used and when you tap on "Receive" on bluewallet, it gives you another address. That's for protecting your privacy.
Take note that your HD wallet includes numerous addresses.
That is true I found a lot of addresses

I couldn't find any possible guide to get your bitcoin private key out of your 12 words multi curreny string of trust wallet and then using it to sign a message [in a safe way] all through your phone.
As long as your mobile phone is online, there is no completely safe way. Any online device is always prone to hacking.


The issue will remain in getting the private key to import the wallet into bluewallet, or it can pull out the btc address out of the trustwallet 12 words string?
It's true that you can't export individual private keys from trustwallet, but you don't need to do so at all. The seed phrase generated by trustwallet is BIP39 and that's supported by bluewallet and many other wallets. Import your seed phrase into bluewallet.

Is there any relation between closed source and open source wallet and only one of them is able to import the private keys or wallet with mnemonic phrases? I mean this option is also not available with the Mycelium wallet for iOS version. I am not sure what is wrong with that app but it's becoming very complicated over the time. Whenever I click on the New wallet addition it instantly creates new wallet, gives me new address and there is just no option at all where I can import external address.

I remember though this used to happen previously a year before or something when I could just enter the private key and my external wallet was imported right away.

I know I am little drifted from the main topic but since it was associated conversation thought to put it here instead of creating entire thread. Shed some light on this too please!

The solution click on imported > 3 dots > show addresses > long click on your old one > sign message > done

It just don't show as the main one

Thank you all for the rapid help!

Bluewallet seed phrase import derivational path is native Segwit by default if legacy and nested segwit addresses are not funded. It supposed to generate your address and able to use it to sign a message. It would work unless you import the wrong seed phrase. Check your Trustwallet directly and make sure the seed phrase is the right one.

The only difference between open source and close source wallet is that the source code of close source wallets are not available for the public, unlike open source that their source code are publicly available.

It imported a wallet that I don't own with different receiving address, lol!
Did your address start from 1, 3 or bc1?

On a side note, I recommend you to avoid any close-source wallet like trustwallet.

If you want a mobile wallet to sign message, use Bluewallet. For desktop, use Electrum.
Trust wallet is close source.
