I recommend Cakewallet. If you are a newbie I reccomend doing KYC and getting Monero from Kraken if you are in USA. Make sure to withdraw it from Kraken to Cakewallet.
Once you have withdrawn the Monero to cakewallet, the only thing anyone can know is that you own Monero. Similar to how a bank knows you have cash when you take it out from an ATM. Although, Monero is more private than Cash because it does not have serial numbers.
If you wan’t to learn how Monero works in a conceptual way I reccomend Mastering Monero. It is a little old, but a good explainer of Crypto and Monero.
The easiest way to obtain Monero if a CEX (centralized exchange) does not list it in your jurisdiction.
Obtain any cryptocurrency on CEX. Withdraw to self-custody wallet.
Swap that cryptocurrency on an instant swap service for Monero to go to your self-custody wallet. I recommend Trocador.app.
