certainly less popular than it once was....
one of the few mobile wallets I know that plays well with using Electrum as an offline signer.
You can import xpub into BW and then compose the transaction in BW and "export" via QRCode to Electrum which can sign and then reimport the signed TXN back into BW to broadcast.
In this way you can use an old (offline) laptop as a signer and have your own "hardware wallet" setup.
Heard good things about nunchuck recently, which maybe can do the same....
fair point
but... electrum, xpub, hardware wallet, nunchuk... not exactly beginner friendlyl
update: isn't it easier to use CoinOS.io or Aqua wallet?
reply
Yeah AQUA is much better for beginner. Its in fact my daily driver.
The problem comes with dealing with cold storage. The beginner friendly approach is to get a hardware wallet (which is a decent option). I happen to not be in love with idea of using "hardware wallets".
My concern with them is the "20 year problem". Is any of that going to work in 20 years? Will the computing device you are using have USB ports? Will the hardware even still work by then? etc etc.
Secondly, I got burned by Ledger back in 2018 or whenever their customer list got leaked...I mean the CEO just got kidnapped....not overly excited with having my name / address on someones mailing list.

good point...
I like CoinOS for beginners because they support on chain, lightning and liquid and it's browser based and no KYC and no password and based in Canada
regarding hardware wallets, I recommend Casa for multi-sig using Jade (plus or not) or Trezor
Ledger is unfortunate... I like Jade, Trezor or Cold Card
I'm a big fan of Casa multi-sig
