Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the Ledger Live App without Bluetooth?

Yes, the Ledger Live App supports both Bluetooth (Nano X) and USB-C cable connections. For Ledger Nano S and Nano S+ users, USB-C connection is available with compatible Android devices. The app maintains full functionality regardless of connection method, though Bluetooth offers the convenience of wireless operation for Nano X users.

Is the mobile app as secure as Ledger Live Desktop?

Yes, the Ledger Live App maintains the same security standards as the desktop version. Your private keys never leave your Ledger® hardware wallet, and all transactions require physical confirmation on the device. The mobile app simply provides a different interface for the same secure hardware wallet operations, with additional mobile-specific security features like biometric authentication for app access.

How do I pair my Ledger Nano X via Bluetooth?

To pair via Bluetooth: 1) Enable Bluetooth on your mobile device, 2) Open Control Center on your Ledger Nano X, 3) Navigate to Bluetooth settings and enable pairing mode, 4) In the Ledger Live App, select "Add device via Bluetooth", 5) Choose your Ledger® device from the discovered list, 6) Confirm pairing on both devices. The pairing remains active for future connections.

Can I manage NFTs through the Ledger Live App?

Yes, the Ledger Live App supports NFT management for viewing your collections and basic interactions. You can view your NFT holdings, see collection details, and manage your digital art and collectibles. For advanced NFT operations like minting or complex interactions, Ledger Live Desktop may offer more comprehensive features, but the mobile app covers essential NFT management needs.

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

Your crypto assets remain completely secure. The Ledger Live App doesn't store any sensitive information on your phone - it only displays portfolio data. Even with app access, thieves would need physical possession of your Ledger® device and knowledge of your PIN to access your funds. You can remotely wipe the app data using your mobile device's security features for additional peace of mind.

Can I use both Ledger Live App and Desktop simultaneously?

Absolutely. Both applications can be used simultaneously with the same Ledger® device. Your accounts and transaction history sync across platforms, allowing you to start a transaction on desktop and complete it on mobile, or vice versa. This flexibility ensures you can manage your assets seamlessly regardless of which device you have available.
