On a Telegram BTC group, there is an user looking for some help.
He said he has a Bitcoin Core Wallet with a private key starting by "p2pkh:" is there a way to import this Wallet into Sparrow?
I don't know about this topic neither...

They could try following the steps in this guide for importing a ColdCard wallet to Sparrow.
There should be a step where they can choose the script type and they should look for "Legacy" option.
They will still need their seed phrase or private key.
Unfortunately, Sparrow can't import a .dat file (which is how Core saves wallet info). Modern Core wallets are usually descriptor-based, which means Sparrow could import the descriptor. But a n old wallet that is p2pkh won't have a descriptor.
Alternatively, they could create a new wallet in Sparrow and send the coins from the old wallet to the new one...
