Blue Wallet for watch only!!
1. Export the public key (xpub/zpub) from the original app: Get the read-only key without exposing your recovery seed phrase.
Open your main wallet app (such as Sparrow, Electrum, or another instance where your private keys are stored).
Go to your Bitcoin wallet settings.
Look for Show XPUB, Export Extended Public Key, or Account Information.
Copy the key (it will start with xpub, ypub, or zpub) or keep the QR code visible on the screen.
2. Start creating a new wallet in BlueWallet: Add a new wallet without importing private keys.
Open BlueWallet on your phone.
On the home screen, tap the + icon (or Add Wallet).
Set a name for the wallet (e.g., My Cold Wallet - Watch Only).
Select Bitcoin as the type.
Security Note: A Watch-Only wallet only allows you to view balances and generate new receiving addresses. It is impossible to sign or send transactions from BlueWallet without using the external signing device (a hardware wallet or an app holding the private keys).
