Frequently Asked Questions

Is Ledger Live App free to download and use?

Yes, Ledger Live App is completely free to download and use. There are no subscription fees or hidden charges. The application is provided free of charge to all Ledger hardware wallet owners. The only cost associated with using the Ledger ecosystem is the initial purchase of your Ledger hardware wallet.

Can I use the same accounts on both mobile and desktop?

Yes, your accounts sync seamlessly across all installations of Ledger Live App. When you create or import accounts on one device, they automatically appear on your other devices once you connect your Ledger hardware wallet. This gives you a unified view of your portfolio whether you're using the mobile app or desktop application.

Which Ledger devices work with the mobile app?

The Ledger Live mobile app works with:

  • Ledger Nano X: Full functionality via Bluetooth connectivity
  • Ledger Nano S Plus: Limited functionality via USB-OTG connection (Android only)
  • Ledger Stax: Full functionality via Bluetooth connectivity

The Ledger Nano S (original) is not compatible with the mobile app due to hardware limitations.

How secure is the Bluetooth connection on mobile?

The Bluetooth connection used by Ledger Nano X and Stax with the mobile app is highly secure. It uses BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) with custom encryption protocols specifically designed for Ledger devices. Importantly, your private keys never leave the secure element of your Ledger device, and all transactions still require physical confirmation on the device itself. The Bluetooth connection is only used for communication, not for signing transactions.

Can I use Ledger Live App without a Ledger device?

No, Ledger Live App requires a Ledger hardware wallet to function. The application is specifically designed to work with Ledger devices where your private keys are securely stored. For security reasons, Ledger Live cannot be used as a standalone software wallet without a connected Ledger device. This design ensures that your private keys are always protected by hardware security.

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

If you lose your phone, your crypto assets remain completely safe. The Ledger Live mobile app doesn't store any critical security information on your phone. Your private keys remain securely stored on your Ledger hardware device. Even if someone gains access to your phone with the Ledger Live app installed, they cannot access your funds without your physical Ledger device and PIN. We recommend using your phone's security features (passcode, biometrics) and remotely wiping the device if possible.
