Just to confirm, which Segwit wallet are you using? From what I've read in some responses, it seems you're using Green Wallet, which is also an excellent choice for Android/iOS devices.

Since everything has already been clarified, if you need a desktop wallet that also supports native Segwit, including the new Taproot bech32m addresses, from my experience, you may want to look at the desktop wallets listed below.

Bitcoin Core - Supports all 4 single-sig address types: Legacy, p2sh-Segwit, bech32 and bech32m. You can change the address type in the receiving tab, no need to create separate wallets for each script type (unlike Electrum, which also supports bech32 - for segwit, only bc1q addresses).

When sending, Bitcoin Core by default selects inputs with the same address type as the output (e.g., p2sh-Segwit) to enhance your privacy. However, you must be willing to download all blocks from the bitcoin network (although it is better for privacy, since you verify all transactions independently).

Sparrow Wallet - Supports all 4 single-sig address types (Legacy, p2sh-Segwit, bech32 and bech32m), but for each keystore, it's a different type of address, but it's one of the best desktop wallets.

Wasabi/Ginger Wallet - Both have native segwit bech32 support by default, optionally, you can use bech32m taproot to receive funds.

Always make sure to download from the correct website, verify the url of the site and check the GPG signatures.
