The Ledger Live App is the official mobile application designed to complement your Ledger® hardware wallet experience. Available for both iOS and Android devices, this app allows you to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio on the go while maintaining the security benefits of your hardware wallet.
Unlike the Ledger Live Desktop application which offers full device management capabilities, the mobile app focuses on portfolio tracking, receiving funds, and limited transaction capabilities—all while ensuring your private keys remain secure within your Ledger® device.
View all your cryptocurrency holdings with real-time price updates, charts, and portfolio performance metrics directly on your mobile device.
Generate receive addresses and QR codes to easily receive funds into your Ledger® wallet from anywhere.
Access your complete transaction history with detailed information about each send and receive operation.
Connect your Ledger Nano X via Bluetooth for wireless management (requires device confirmation for transactions).
Stay informed with real-time cryptocurrency market data and price alerts for your tracked assets.
Optional PIN or biometric authentication to protect access to your Ledger Live App on your mobile device.
To get started with the Ledger Live App, follow these steps:
Step 1: Visit your device's app store (Apple App Store for iOS or Google Play Store for Android)
Step 2: Search for "Ledger Live"
Step 3: Download and install the official app published by Ledger
Step 4: Open the app and follow the setup instructions
Step 5: Connect your Ledger® device (wired for Nano S/S+, Bluetooth for Nano X)
Security Warning: Only download the Ledger Live App from official app stores. Avoid third-party sources that might offer compromised versions of the application.
For initial device setup, you may still need to visit Ledger.com/start using a computer before using the mobile app.
The Ledger Live Login process on mobile maintains the same security standards as the desktop version:
This process ensures that your private keys never leave your hardware device, maintaining security even when using mobile networks or public Wi-Fi.
The mobile app may also offer optional security features like PIN code or biometric authentication to protect access to the application itself on your mobile device.
While both the Ledger Live App and Ledger Live Desktop provide access to your cryptocurrency portfolio, there are important differences:
For complete management, most users benefit from using both applications—the mobile app for daily checks and receiving funds, and the desktop application for more advanced operations.
Can I set up a new Ledger® device using only the mobile app?
The Ledger Nano X can be set up using the mobile app via Bluetooth connection. However, for Nano S and Nano S Plus devices, initial setup requires a computer and Ledger.com/start before they can be used with the mobile app.
Is the Ledger Live App safe to use on a mobile device?
Yes, the Ledger Live App is designed with security in mind. Your private keys never leave your Ledger® device, and the app itself can be protected with additional PIN or biometric authentication on your mobile device.
What cryptocurrencies can I manage with the Ledger Live App?
The mobile app supports all cryptocurrencies compatible with your Ledger® device. However, some newer or less common assets might require management through the desktop application or third-party wallets that connect to your Ledger® device.
Can I use the mobile app without internet connection?
While some features like viewing your portfolio history work offline, most functionality requires an internet connection to sync with blockchain networks and update prices and transaction statuses.
How do I update the Ledger Live App?
Updates for the Ledger Live App are delivered through your device's app store (Apple App Store or Google Play Store). Enable automatic updates or regularly check for updates to ensure you have the latest security improvements and features.
What should I do if my mobile device is lost or stolen?
If your mobile device is lost or stolen, your cryptocurrencies remain secure as they're protected by your Ledger® hardware device. However, you should revoke app permissions if possible and use a new device to install the Ledger Live App. Your funds are safe as long as your recovery phrase remains secure.
