Woman's arm being uncovered while reciting the Quraan Majeed

Q: 

1. Is it permissible for a woman's arm to be uncovered during tilawat of the Quraan. (This is with a physical copy of the Quraan, not from memory) 

2. if a person is making tilawat using the app on their phone, can they read whilst leaning against something, or laying down? 

I learned that our arms should be covered till our wrists as it is part of our satr, and one should sit in a respectful manner when one is making tilawat of the Quraan shareef.

A: 

1. It is alright as long as it is not in the presence of ghayr mahrams. 

2. We totally discourage recitation from the phone.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
