Mobile Security Considerations

While the Ledger Live App provides secure access to your cryptocurrency information, remember that mobile devices can be vulnerable to different threats than desktop computers. Always keep your device's operating system updated, use strong authentication methods (biometrics, strong PIN), and be cautious about using public Wi-Fi networks when accessing your crypto portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I send cryptocurrencies using the Ledger Live App?

To send cryptocurrencies, you need to confirm transactions on your Ledger® hardware device. With a Ledger Nano X connected via Bluetooth, you can complete this process directly through the mobile app. For other devices, you may need to connect via cable or use the desktop application for sending transactions.

Which Ledger® devices work with the mobile app?

The Ledger Nano X connects via Bluetooth to both iOS and Android devices. The Ledger Nano S and Nano S Plus can connect to Android devices using an OTG (On-The-Go) cable, but iOS compatibility is limited due to Apple's restrictions on USB connections.

Is the mobile app as secure as the desktop version?

The Ledger Live App maintains the same security principles as the desktop version—your private keys never leave your Ledger® hardware device. However, mobile devices may be exposed to different security threats, so it's important to follow mobile security best practices.

Can I use the mobile app without a Ledger® hardware wallet?

No, the Ledger Live App is designed specifically to work with Ledger® hardware wallets. While you can download and install the app without a device, you need a Ledger® hardware wallet to access its full functionality and secure your cryptocurrencies.

What features are missing from the mobile app compared to desktop?

The mobile app focuses on portfolio tracking and receiving transactions. Some advanced features like staking, swapping, and certain account management operations may require the desktop application. Feature parity continues to improve with each update.

How do I update the Ledger Live App?

Updates for the Ledger Live App are distributed through the official app stores (iOS App Store and Google Play Store). Enable automatic updates on your device or regularly check the app store for updates to ensure you have the latest security enhancements and features.
