The Ledger Live App is the mobile companion to Ledger's desktop software, allowing you to manage your cryptocurrency assets directly from your iOS or Android device. This powerful application brings the core functionality of Ledger Live to your smartphone, enabling you to check your portfolio, send and receive crypto, and monitor market trends wherever you are.
While the Ledger Live App provides convenient mobile access to your cryptocurrency holdings, it maintains the same security standards as the desktop version. Your private keys remain protected on your Ledger® hardware wallet, and all transactions require physical confirmation on your device.
To begin using the Ledger Live App, follow these steps:
Security Note: Always download the Ledger Live App from official app stores. Avoid third-party sources to prevent phishing scams. The mobile app requires a Ledger® Nano X for Bluetooth connectivity, while the Nano S/S Plus can connect via USB OTG cable.
Monitor your cryptocurrency investments in real-time with a comprehensive overview of your portfolio allocation and performance.
Send and receive cryptocurrencies directly from your mobile device, with all transactions requiring physical confirmation on your Ledger® hardware wallet.
Stay informed with real-time cryptocurrency prices, trends, and market movements directly within the app.
Access and manage all your cryptocurrency accounts from your mobile device, with support for a wide range of digital assets.
With the Ledger® Nano X, enjoy wireless connectivity via Bluetooth for seamless mobile management without cables.
While both platforms offer secure access to your cryptocurrency assets, each has its unique advantages:
For advanced operations like firmware updates, app installation, or exchanging cryptocurrencies, you'll still need to use Ledger Live Desktop. The mobile and desktop applications sync seamlessly, providing a unified experience across all your devices.
Is the Ledger Live App free to download and use?
Yes, the Ledger Live App is completely free to download from app stores and use. You only need to purchase a Ledger® hardware wallet to use with the application.
Can I use the Ledger Live App without a Ledger® device?
No, the Ledger Live App is specifically designed to work with Ledger® hardware wallets. The device is required to confirm transactions and securely manage your private keys.
Which Ledger® devices are compatible with the mobile app?
The Ledger® Nano X connects via Bluetooth to iOS and Android devices. The Ledger® Nano S and Nano S Plus can connect to Android devices using a USB OTG cable, but are not compatible with iOS devices due to Apple's connectivity restrictions.
Is the Ledger Live App as secure as the desktop version?
Yes, the mobile app maintains the same security standards. Your private keys never leave your Ledger® hardware wallet, and all transactions require physical confirmation on the device.
Can I buy crypto through the Ledger Live App?
Yes, the app integrates with various services that allow you to purchase cryptocurrencies directly through the application, which are then sent to your Ledger® wallet.
What should I do if my Ledger Live App won't connect to my device?
First, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone (for Nano X) or that you're using a compatible USB OTG cable (for Nano S/S Plus on Android). Make sure your device is unlocked and the relevant cryptocurrency app is open on your Ledger® device. If problems persist, try restarting both your phone and Ledger® device.
