Security Architecture: The Ledger Live App is designed as a monitoring and preparation tool only. All private keys remain securely stored within your Ledger® hardware device's certified secure element, and the mobile app cannot sign transactions or access sensitive wallet operations without physical device connection and authorization.
Important Consideration: The Ledger Live App cannot perform the complete Ledger Live Login process or sign transactions independently. For sending funds and security-sensitive operations, you must connect your Ledger® device via Bluetooth and physically confirm transactions on the hardware device.

How It Complements Desktop Experience

The Ledger Live App works in harmony with Ledger Live Desktop to provide a seamless cryptocurrency management experience across all your devices. While the desktop application handles all advanced features and direct USB connectivity, the mobile app offers unparalleled convenience for daily portfolio monitoring and transaction preparation. This complementary approach ensures you maintain complete control over your assets while enjoying the flexibility of mobile access.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I send cryptocurrencies using only the Ledger Live App?

No, the Ledger Live App is designed for monitoring and transaction preparation only. To send cryptocurrencies, you must connect your Ledger® device via Bluetooth and physically confirm the transaction on the hardware device, maintaining the security principle that private keys never leave the secure element.

Is the mobile app as secure as Ledger Live Desktop?

While the mobile app maintains high security standards for portfolio monitoring, Ledger Live Desktop with direct USB connection offers the highest security level for transaction signing. Both platforms ensure private keys never leave your hardware device, but the desktop application provides additional security features and complete functionality.

Which Ledger devices support Bluetooth connectivity?

Currently, only the Ledger Nano X supports Bluetooth connectivity for use with the Ledger Live App. Ledger Nano S Plus and earlier models require USB connection to Ledger Live Desktop for full functionality.

Can I use the Ledger Live App with multiple Ledger devices?

Yes, the Ledger Live App supports multiple Ledger® devices. You can monitor and manage portfolios from different hardware wallets within the same mobile application, though Bluetooth connectivity is limited to Nano X devices.

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

Your funds remain completely secure. The app doesn't store private keys or recovery seeds. Simply install the app on a new device, reconnect your Ledger® hardware wallet, and resume portfolio monitoring. For added security, enable biometric authentication on your mobile device.

Does the mobile app work without an internet connection?

The app requires an internet connection to sync with blockchain data and display current portfolio values. However, previously loaded data may be accessible temporarily while offline, though real-time updates and transaction preparation won't be available without connectivity.
