Oh wow, I feel like I just fell down a rabbit hole, a good one. 👽👽 I appreciate your help so much. I feel like I’d be more comfortable having the wallet separate from the apps. Maybe I’m wrong.
No you are right. It is definitely better to have the wallet separate from the app especially when the numbers start to get big. But don't worry, Primal is fine to start with, when you find a lightning wallet you like, you can simply move your Bitcoins around.
do you know where in Primal can I find the seed phrase so I can back it up?
There is no seed phrase on the Primal wallet. The only backup is the email you activated it with. Here you have an overview to choose your wallet: https://21ideas.org/en/lightning-wallets/
