Coin control
When you receive Bitcoin (or several other coins), your balance isn't one big pool — it's a collection of individual "outputs," like separate bills in a wallet. Coin control lets you see those outputs and choose which ones a transaction spends. That matters for privacy: it keeps coins you'd rather not link together — say, a KYC exchange withdrawal and a private payment — from being spent in the same transaction.
Coin control is available for Bitcoin, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin, Monero, and Decred wallets.

Review your outputs
Each row is one output: its amount and the address it was received on. Tap an output to see its details.

Label or freeze an output
The details screen shows the output's amount, transaction ID, and address. Add a note so you remember where it came from ("exchange withdrawal", "paid by Alice"), or flip the Freeze toggle to stop it from being spent.

Frozen coins stay put
Frozen outputs move under a Frozen header and are never spent — they show up in your unavailable balance until you unfreeze them. Freezing is persistent across all transactions until you change it.

Choosing coins for a single transaction
You don't have to freeze coins to control one payment: the Send and Swap screens also let you filter which outputs that one transaction may use, without changing anything permanently. Look for Coin Control under the Send screen's Advanced Settings.
If your available balance looks lower than expected, check here first — frozen outputs are excluded from what you can spend. See Why is my Available Balance 0? for other causes.
