Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Ledger Live App provide the same security as desktop versions?

Yes, the Ledger Live App maintains identical security protocols to the desktop application. Your private cryptographic keys remain exclusively within your Ledger® hardware device, and all financial transactions mandate physical confirmation on the device itself. The mobile interface serves as a secure conduit while the fundamental security remains hardware-based.

Is Bluetooth mandatory for using the Ledger Live App?

Bluetooth is optional, not mandatory. While it offers wireless convenience specifically for Ledger Nano X users, all Ledger® hardware wallets can establish connection with the mobile app using a USB-OTG cable. This wired alternative provides identical functionality and security assurance, ensuring accessibility for every Ledger® device owner.

What functional limitations exist in the mobile app compared to desktop?

The Ledger Live App prioritizes essential mobile functionality. It encompasses portfolio monitoring, transaction execution, and fundamental management features, but excludes sophisticated staking interfaces, integrated cryptocurrency swapping services, and comprehensive NFT management suites available in Ledger Live Desktop. The mobile experience emphasizes operational efficiency and accessibility.

How does mobile authentication differ from desktop login procedures?

The Ledger Live Login process on mobile adheres to the same security foundation as desktop authentication. You connect your Ledger® device via Bluetooth or USB, input your PIN directly on the hardware interface, and physically authorize operations. The mobile application never retains private keys or recovery phrases, preserving the hardware-centric security architecture.

Can I operate both mobile and desktop applications concurrently?

Yes, simultaneous operation of both platforms is fully supported. Your portfolio information and transaction records synchronize across all platforms upon device connection. This enables utilization of desktop capabilities for advanced management while maintaining mobile accessibility for rapid verification and transaction execution during mobility.

What troubleshooting steps resolve Bluetooth connectivity issues?

For Bluetooth connection resolution: 1) Verify Bluetooth activation on both devices, 2) Restart the Ledger Live App completely, 3) Power cycle your Ledger Nano X device, 4) Re-establish device pairing, 5) Employ USB-OTG cable as connectivity alternative.
