Is it common for the `col` class in Bootstrap 4 Grid System to have no padding?

This is my first time using Bootstrap version 4.

Currently, I have a footer that utilizes the new flex col classes. It looks great on desktop, but on mobile, the columns are stacked so closely together that there is no vertical margin or padding.

Is this the expected behavior?

Additionally, I would like the content to be centered or have some offset. However, when I try to use offset, it only adds top padding instead of left or right offset.

Is this also expected behavior?

If so, what is the recommended official approach for adding top margin/padding on mobile only and applying offset?

Thank you!

Without Offset:

<div class="row" id="kpc-row-10">

  <div class="container">

    <div class="row">

      <div class="col-sm">
      </div>
      
      <div class="col-sm">
      </div>
      
      <div class="col-sm">
      </div>
      
      <div class="col-sm">
      </div>

    </div>

With Offset:

      </div>
      
      <div class="col-sm offset-sm-2">

"they're stacked so closely to each other there is no vertical margin / padding"

It has been noted in the comments and in various discussions that there is no vertical spacing between columns in Bootstrap. However, with the introduction of Bootstrap 4, there are spacing utility classes available that can be used to adjust margins or padding...

For instance, using my-3 will insert a top and bottom margin to each column.

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-sm my-3">

        </div>
        <div class="col-sm my-3">

        </div>
        <div class="col-sm my-3">

        </div>
        <div class="col-sm my-3">

        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Check out the demonstration here:

For further information on the spacing utilities, refer to my other answer: spacing utilities.
