Honestly, I’ve been thinking for a long time whether it’s worth trying mining with a phone at all. I came across several apps that promise to help. There’s CryptoTab — one of the first that allows you to start the process directly on your smartphone, just install it and activate the feature. They claim you can also invite friends via a referral link for higher earnings.

I also saw about cloud mining through specialized apps like StormGain and NiceHash. The idea there is not to mine directly but to rent hash power. StormGain is praised for convenience and security, but it needs to be restarted every 4 hours — not very convenient for continuous operation. NiceHash is popular because of its profitability calculator and high security, though it’s better to enable two-factor authentication.

There’s also Bitdeer — for more serious miners, offering different plans and access to professional equipment. But is it really profitable? That’s the question. People have different opinions: some believe that mining with a phone is a waste of time and electricity, while others see it as a simple way to earn money.

Regarding specific coins, according to reviews, the easiest to mine are Monero, Dogecoin, Vertcoin, and Ravencoin — they require less computational power. But don’t forget about the electricity costs in your region — that can eat up all the profit.

On Android, the process is relatively simple: choose an app, install it, create an account, specify your wallet address, and start mining. On iPhone, it’s much more complicated due to Apple’s restrictions, so mostly only cloud mining through the same apps is available there.

The time to mine one Bitcoin with a smartphone is about 10 minutes under optimal conditions, but in reality, it can be much longer. For serious results, you need either specialized equipment or cloud services. Overall, mining with a phone is more of a hobby or extra income rather than a main source of revenue. Decide for yourself, but don’t rush into a decision.
