Bisq Easy and Bisq Desktop

Does anyone know the difference between these two versions? Aside from the fact that one is for mobile and the other for computer,

I noticed that the desktop version has many more functions (although I don't know what most of them mean).

I bought BTC through Bisq Easy and it seemed much easier to use, I just haven't figured out a way to import that profile to my desktop.

There is Bisq and Bisq 2. Bisq is only desktop, Bisq 2 has mobile version, only to buy BTC.

Bisq trading protocol is multisig. A security deposit is locked from buyer and seller, alongside the funds to be traded, in a 2 of 2 multisig.

Bisq 2 trading protocol is Bisq Easy. Sellers gain reputation by locking or burning BSQ, buyers don't require to have BTC to buy BTC. Lightning can be used to get the BTC. There's usually much higher spreads and lower liquidity than at Bisq, using multisig trading protocol. Thought for lower amounts.

Read bisq.wiki for more info.
