⚠️ Fake “Sparrow Wallet” apps are in app stores.
That’s your warning.
Sparrow Wallet has no official mobile app.
No iOS. No Android.
What it actually is:
A desktop Bitcoin wallet for serious self-custody:
→ UTXO control
→ Privacy
→ Multisig
→ Hardware wallets
→ Runs best with your own node
The play:
Clone the name + logo → ask for your seed → drain everything.
No exploit. No hack.
You handed over the keys.
Rule:
Your seed is for recovery — nothing else.
If an app asks for it, it’s not onboarding you.
It’s robbing you.
“Sparrow” on mobile = fake.
Seed requested = funds gone.
