For the balances, the app groups the balances by currency (because I think it makes more sense to more people that way).
If you tap on the currency balance, then it shows the breakdown per Taler exchange.

I got a Linux phone a while ago — the FLX1s.
I started writing apps for it recently — which are just a GNOME + Linux apps.
I started working on a wallet app for GNOME Phosh.
I am adding support for Taler.

Or, a parent giving money to their child.
On a tangent: #Taler not only supports P2P payments, but offers a privacy-preserving mechanism for age-restriction, built-in into the coins, as well.
Parents can give their children coins that are usable only for items up to - say - 12. The proof of the requirement doesn't reveal the actual age of the payer.
See our paper: https://www.taler.net/papers/esorics2022-age-restriction.pdf
The general rule in #Taler is: who pays is guaranteed to stay anonymous and who receives is guaranteed to be known to the exchange. This is true for normal payments and also for P2P payments.
Because legally, receiving money is a form of income, potentially taxable, the exchange requires a KYC process performed once by the receiver of the money.
In Switzerland, the KYC process with taler-ops.ch only involves a Swiss mobile phone number, able to receive a code.
#Taler does offer peer-to-peer payments, when the corresponding exchange supports that feature. F.e. in Switzerland you can pay and p2p with Taler, see https://taler-ops.ch/en/users-android.html.
See also the REST-API for it: https://docs.taler.net/core/api-exchange.html#wallet-to-wallet-transfers
AFAICT, with Taler —
You don't just, for example, have (a coin for) CAD $5 in your Taler wallet.
But, instead you have (a coin for) CAD $5 AT A PARTICULAR TALER EXCHANGE in your Taler wallet.
Why does that distinction matter?
Because, AFAICT, merchants declare what exchanges they are willing to accepts funds from. Well, exchanges or any exchange audited by a particular auditor.
