Probably none? Nearly none?

So far as I know, Electrum uses its own system of seed phrases which it's developers consider to be better than the BIP39 system used by many other wallets.

I believe Electrum has some compatibility features that must be specifically enabled. Most users probably don't do that unless they anticipate the need.

BlueWallet *[might](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5259678.0)* have support for Electrum seed phrases.
