Legacy addresses are the original Bitcoin addresses. You can expect all wallets to support sending and receiving to Legacy addresses.

Not every wallet or service has upgraded to support the new SegWit address formats and therefore, some wallets can only send to Legacy addresses.

Check with your wallet provider to see which wallet types they support.
