Ledger Live App: Mobile Crypto Management

What is Ledger Live App?

The Ledger Live App is the mobile companion to Ledger Live Desktop, designed to provide secure cryptocurrency management on iOS and Android devices. This application allows you to monitor your portfolio, send and receive assets, and stay connected to your crypto investments wherever you are.

While the mobile app doesn't replace the full functionality of Ledger Live Desktop, it offers essential features in a convenient mobile format. The app connects to your Ledger® hardware wallet via Bluetooth (Nano X) or USB-C cable (Nano S Plus), maintaining the same security standards that Ledger® is known for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ledger Live App free to download and use?

Yes, the Ledger Live App is completely free to download and use. You only need to own a Ledger® hardware wallet (Nano X, Nano S Plus, or Nano S) to use the application.

Which Ledger® devices work with the mobile app?

The Ledger Nano X works with both iOS and Android via Bluetooth. The Ledger Nano S Plus works with Android via USB-OTG cable. The classic Nano S is not compatible with mobile devices.

Can I set up a new device using the mobile app?

No, initial device setup must be done using Ledger Live Desktop. The mobile app is designed for managing already set up devices and cannot initialize new devices or restore recovery phrases.

Is Bluetooth connection secure?

Yes, the Bluetooth connection between your mobile device and Ledger Nano X uses secure encrypted communication. Your private keys never leave the hardware wallet, maintaining the highest security standards.

Can I use the mobile app without my hardware wallet?

You can view your portfolio and market data without your device, but to send transactions or access detailed account information, you need to connect your Ledger® hardware wallet.

What happens if I lose my phone with the app installed?

Your funds remain secure because your cryptocurrency is stored on the blockchain, not on your phone. The app only displays information. Without your physical Ledger® device, no one can access your funds even if they have your phone.
