Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the Ledger Live App is completely free to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. There are no subscription fees or hidden costs for using the application. Some integrated services may have network fees, but the app itself is free.

Can I use the Ledger Live App without a hardware wallet?

No, the Ledger Live App requires a connected Ledger® hardware wallet for all operations. The application is designed to work exclusively with Ledger® devices to maintain the highest security standards. Private keys never leave your hardware wallet.

Which Ledger devices work with the mobile app?

The Ledger Live App supports all current Ledger® models. Ledger Nano X works wirelessly via Bluetooth, while Nano S Plus and Nano S require cable connections with appropriate adapters for your mobile device.

How secure is the Bluetooth connection with Ledger Nano X?

The Bluetooth connection between your Ledger Nano X and the Ledger Live App is highly secure. Private keys never leave your hardware device, and all sensitive operations require physical confirmation on the device itself. The Bluetooth connection only transmits encrypted, non-sensitive data.

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

Yes, you can use both platforms simultaneously. Your portfolio data syncs across devices, allowing you to start a transaction on mobile and complete it on desktop, or vice versa. Both platforms provide access to the same Ledger Live wallet.

What happens if I lose my phone with the Ledger Live App installed?

Your funds remain completely secure. The Ledger Live App doesn't store any sensitive information on your phone. Even if someone gains access to your phone, they would still need your physical Ledger® device and PIN to access your funds. You can reinstall the app on a new device and regain access.
