which wallet to use for usdt

Hi cryptos,

Im new to this , just wonder do I have to register wallet via exchanges like coinbase? I dont want to store my coins on exchanges, this makes me feel I dont actually own them. I just want basic wallet where I can recieve/send away usdt with only address strings. No buy/sell functions required

google gives me tons of wallets like Exodus or Trust wallet. too much infomation for a rookie. I would like to get more info before decision.

thank u so much
