Ledger Live App

Secure Mobile Crypto Management by Ledger

Ledger Live App is the official mobile application designed to help users securely manage their cryptocurrency assets using a Ledger hardware wallet. Available for both iOS and Android devices, the app provides a convenient way to monitor portfolios, send and receive crypto, stake assets, and manage accounts while keeping private keys protected offline.

The Ledger Live App works directly with compatible Ledger hardware wallets, ensuring that all sensitive transactions require on-device confirmation.

What Is the Ledger Live App?

The Ledger Live App is a mobile version of the Ledger Live platform that allows users to manage their crypto portfolio securely from their smartphone. It connects to your Ledger device via Bluetooth (for supported models) or through USB connection using compatible adapters.

Unlike traditional mobile wallets, Ledger Live App does not store your private keys on your phone. Your keys remain inside your Ledger hardware wallet at all times.

Compatible Devices

The Ledger Live App supports:

  • Ledger Nano X
  • Ledger Nano S Plus (via USB connection with supported devices)

The Nano X is especially optimized for mobile use because of its built-in Bluetooth functionality.

Security Advantages

The Ledger Live App offers advanced security features:

How to Get Started

  4. Unlock your device using your PIN.

Recovery & Backup

During the initial setup of your Ledger device, you are given a 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase allows you to restore access to your wallet if your device is lost, stolen, or reset.

Never share your recovery phrase. Ledger will never request it through email, chat, or phone support.

Best Practices for Mobile Security

  • Keep your Ledger device firmware updated.
  • Enable phone security features such as biometric lock or PIN.
  • Verify all transaction details on the device screen.
  • Avoid connecting to unsecured public Wi-Fi networks when managing assets.
