Add in screen designs for the above.

I believe the question was specific to the first screen in this section. So a user can have multiple "addresses". If you press the "send" button at the top, which address will it use by default? Or will it ask you to pick one of the addresses?

Exactly that @GBKS

I created an issue for updating Contacts page, this could be a part of that.

I thought about this, and this one seems to be a bit tricky. The easiest way out is just to let the user choose the payment method. Another easy way might be to allow users to select a default.

But this assumes the user is savvy enough to know which method they want to use, and even then other factors may influence their decision, for e.g. amount, fees, time to send.

Another crucial factor IMO is: what kind of wallet is this? Only for a powerful, full-featured wallet is this a complicated issue. The choice may be very simple if it's a on-chain only or lightning only.

But this assumes the user is savvy enough to know which method they want to use, and even then other factors may influence their decision, for e.g. amount, fees, time to send.

In such a scenario, perhaps it's wise to launch the send flow and let the user select the amount and confirmation time first, then auto-choose a method or give them limited choice instead of every send method the wallet supports.

What do you think?

perhaps "picking payment method on Contact screen" is a better title for this issue...

Another simple way to do this might be: if the sender taps Send, a modal can appear that provides additional information needed to make a choice of the payment method, such as fees and confirmation time.

Guidance from this issue can go into the Contacts page updates we already have an issue for.

I'm thinking this guidance can be added to the Contacts page as a section called "Sending from contact screen" similar to the Sending from home screen on that page.

*edit: also I'm wondering if instead this guidance belongs on the Send bitcoin page

I wouldn't over think this one. Just checked on my phone contact book. When I press email/call/... on a contact, and the contact has multiple addresses/numbers/..., I get a popover list that I have to choose one from.
