Lighting is the most private way to pay for goods and services. Monero bros get rekt.

"if" you are careful
you'll get rekt if just pick up Wallet of Satoshi or a similar custodial LN wallet and expect good privacy out of it
for serious privacy, remember to use rendezvous routing (available via bolt12, Zeus wallet, or lnproxy) and guard your ip address via tor or a vpn
Would Aqua Wallet not be good for privacy as well?
I haven't looked into Aqua Wallet's privacy features, if any
In my experience, privacy on a mobile device is very hard
Your keyboard is probably logging every thumbstroke
Your apps are probably reporting every swipe
Even if the Aqua app is designed with perfect privacy in mind, you get compromised anyway because your OS *is* surveilling you and the app can't stop that
For decent privacy I recommend not using a mobile device
that depends a degoogled phone like grapheneOS, linageOS, calyxOS. Are responsibly safe
just run you own self-custodial LN stack and be sure theres enough liquidity along the route to the payee and you're great!
(as long as your routing nodes arent colluding, which you can't know)
