I'm still have a little knowledge about Bitcoin. But I’ve been curious about Bitcoin mining, is it really possible to mine Bitcoin using an Android phone?
I have seen a several apps claiming to do this, but I am not sure how legit or profitable they are. I really appreciate any honest insights or advice from you guys. Thanks in advance.

No, it’s not really possible to mine Bitcoin effectively using an Android phone. Bitcoin mining is similar to gold mining  it requires a lot of resources, energy, and money.

To mine Bitcoin properly, you need very expensive machines (called ASIC miners) and a lot of infrastructure. It’s not something that can be done casually with a phone.  Most of those mobile apps don’t do real mining. Instead, many of them collect your personal data or try to lure in inexperienced users with false promises. Be careful  if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I'm confuse about what you have said here. But I guess you miswrite the word you are using and what you mean is its not possible to mine Bitcoin using android phones, I hope that's what you mean.

Also maybe they got the idea like this similar on Pi coin on which lots of their airdrop participant get their share thru phone mining that what they have said. But for Bitcoin its not really possible since miners need special rig and it cost a lot before they can effectively mine Bitcoins.  Its risky to do mining on phones and join those programs operated by unknown people. Since aside that their money is at huge risk from scams, their data is also in huge risk especially that they might give it to scammers which might use their identity for those crimes they do online.
