Setting up the Ledger Live App is a straightforward process that mirrors the security-first approach of the desktop version. Follow these steps to begin managing your crypto on mobile:
1 Visit the official app store on your mobile device (Apple App Store for iOS or Google Play Store for Android) and search for "Ledger Live" or visit Ledger.com/start for direct links to the correct Ledger Live download.
2 Download and install the application on your mobile device. The app is free to download and use.
3 Open the Ledger Live App and select "Get Started." The application will guide you through the setup process.
4 For existing Ledger® users, you can synchronize your mobile app with your desktop application by scanning a QR code or manually adding your accounts.
5 The Ledger Live Login process on mobile uses your device's security features (biometrics or PIN) to protect access to the application interface.
Mobile Security Advantage: The Ledger Live App provides read-only access to your portfolio when used without a hardware wallet connection. For sending transactions, you'll need to connect your Ledger® device via Bluetooth (Nano X) or USB-C cable, ensuring your private keys never leave the secure element of your hardware wallet.
Is the Ledger Live App free to download and use?
Yes, the Ledger Live App is completely free to download from both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. There are no subscription fees or hidden charges for using the basic functionality of the application.
Can I send cryptocurrencies using just the Ledger Live App?
To send cryptocurrencies, you need to connect your Ledger® hardware wallet to verify and sign the transaction. The Nano X can connect via Bluetooth, while the Nano S and Nano S Plus require a USB connection (with appropriate adapters for mobile devices).
How does the Ledger Live App sync with Ledger Live Desktop?
You can synchronize your mobile and desktop applications by scanning a QR code in the desktop app or by manually adding your accounts. This allows you to maintain a consistent portfolio view across all your devices.
What security measures protect the Ledger Live App?
The app utilizes your mobile device's built-in security features, including biometric authentication (Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint) and device encryption. Additionally, your private keys never leave your Ledger® hardware wallet.
Can I use the Ledger Live App without a Ledger® hardware wallet?
While you can download the app, its full functionality requires a Ledger® hardware wallet. Without a device, you'll have limited read-only capabilities. Visit Ledger.com to purchase a compatible hardware wallet.
What should I do if I lose my mobile device with the Ledger Live App installed?
Your cryptocurrencies remain safe since they're stored on your Ledger® hardware wallet, not on your mobile device. Simply install the Ledger Live App on a new device and restore your accounts using your recovery phrase if needed.
