Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Ledger Live App as secure as the desktop version?

Yes, the Ledger Live App maintains the same security standards as the desktop version. Your private keys never leave your Ledger® hardware device, and all transactions require physical confirmation on the device itself. The mobile app simply provides a convenient interface while the security remains hardware-based.

Can I use the Ledger Live App without Bluetooth?

Absolutely. While Bluetooth provides wireless convenience for Ledger Nano X users, all Ledger® devices can connect to the mobile app using a USB-OTG cable. This wired connection offers the same functionality and security as Bluetooth, making the app accessible for all Ledger® hardware wallet owners.

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

The Ledger Live App focuses on essential mobile functionality. While it includes portfolio tracking, transactions, and basic management, it doesn't feature advanced staking interfaces, cryptocurrency swapping services, or comprehensive NFT management tools that are available in Ledger Live Desktop. The mobile experience is optimized for convenience and quick access.

How does the Ledger Live Login process work on mobile?

The Ledger Live Login on mobile follows the same security principles as desktop. You connect your Ledger® device via Bluetooth or USB, enter your PIN directly on the hardware device, and physically confirm actions. The mobile app never stores your private keys or recovery phrase, maintaining the hardware-based security model.

Can I use both the mobile app and desktop version simultaneously?

Yes, you can use both applications simultaneously. Your portfolio data and transaction history sync across platforms when you connect your Ledger® device. This allows you to use the desktop version for advanced management while having mobile access for quick checks and transactions on the go.

What should I do if Bluetooth connection fails on the Ledger Live App?

For Bluetooth connection issues: 1) Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both devices, 2) Restart the Ledger Live App, 3) Power cycle your Ledger Nano X, 4) Re-pair the devices, 5) Use USB-OTG cable as alternative. If problems persist, consult the mobile troubleshooting section at Ledger.com/start.
