Can I send cryptocurrencies using just the Ledger Live App?

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.

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.
