How to Swap Crypto on Mobile
Your phone is the fastest way to swap crypto. The whole process runs in your mobile browser, with no app to install and no account to create. You pick two coins, enter a wallet address, and send the deposit from your mobile wallet. This guide explains how to swap on mobile step by step, and how to avoid the mistakes that are easy to make on a small screen.
What you need on your phone
You need two things: a mobile browser and a mobile wallet that holds the crypto you want to send. Popular mobile wallets support Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and stablecoins, and most let you copy an address or scan a QR code.
You also need the destination wallet address for the coin you want to receive. This can be an address in the same mobile wallet, or an address in another wallet or on another device. Make sure the address matches the network of the coin you are receiving.
How to swap on mobile step by step
First, open the FixedSwaps site in your mobile browser and select the coin to send and the coin to receive. Enter the amount and read the quote, which shows exactly how much you will get. Choose a fixed rate to lock that amount.
Second, enter the destination wallet address. You can paste it or type it, but pasting is safer on a small screen. Third, the site shows a deposit address. Copy it, switch to your mobile wallet, and send the exact amount. Once the deposit confirms, the swapped crypto arrives in your wallet.
Copy and paste carefully on a small screen
Most mobile swap mistakes come from the small screen. A wallet address is a long string, and it is easy to copy only part of it or to paste into the wrong field. After pasting, scroll through the address and check the first and last characters against the original.
If the site offers a QR code for the deposit address, use it. Scanning a QR code removes typing errors entirely. Many mobile wallets can scan a QR code directly from the camera, which is the safest way to enter an address on a phone.
Mobile safety tips
Verify the site address in your browser before you send anything. Fake sites that look identical to real exchanges are common, and a mistyped address in a search result can lead you to one. Bookmark the real site and use the bookmark.
Avoid swapping over public Wi-Fi when you can, and keep your phone software and wallet app updated. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone, and never enter it on a website. No real exchange will ever ask for it.
Lock your phone with a PIN or fingerprint, and set your wallet app to require confirmation before every send. That way, even if someone picks up your unlocked phone, they cannot send your crypto without passing the extra check. It takes two seconds per transaction and removes a whole class of accidents.
Tracking a swap from your phone
Save your Order ID as soon as the order is created. Take a screenshot, or copy it into your notes app. Then open the tracking page in your browser and enter the ID to see the current status.
The tracking page works the same on mobile as on desktop. If the swap is delayed, check the deposit transaction on a block explorer for that network, and contact support with your Order ID if the deposit confirmed long ago.
When to use a computer instead
A phone handles most swaps perfectly well. But for a very large swap, a computer is worth it. The bigger screen makes it easier to read the quote, check the full wallet address, and compare the fixed and floating rates side by side.
If you are swapping an amount that matters to you, take the extra minute to do it on a larger screen in a quiet place. Rushing a large swap on a phone, on the move, is when mistakes happen.
