If anyone has experience managing wallets on Android, tell me if your funds have disappeared some time?

Has Android system spying for private keys?

I mean on a pure Android without any installed apps excepting crypto wallets + google play
I am currently using Trust Wallet on my Android, and I have not recorded any case of theft yet. Despite this claim, I am still not giving the assurance that installing your wallet on your Android phone is without its own risks. The wallet can be compromised at any time if you, as the holder of such a wallet, do not ensure its safety.

Here’s what I did to ensure the safety of my wallet:
I made sure I didn’t save my seed phrase online, in my device, or even screenshot it. I simply wrote it in a book and kept the book in a very safe location.

I also avoid downloading unnecessary apps or clicking on suspicious links. Those apps might be a threat to me, so I just avoid them.

I alone handle my Android phone. I don’t grant access to other people to handle my phone to avoid them getting access to my wallet or even stealing the phone.

These are just the few security tips that have kept me safe so far. For now, I do not have a lot of Bitcoins, but I will consider getting a cold wallet once the need arises.
