Ledger Live App | Mobile Crypto Management

Introduction

The Ledger Live Mobile App is the official application to manage cryptocurrencies securely on mobile devices. Designed to complement Ledger hardware wallets, it allows users to track balances, send and receive assets, stake tokens, and monitor portfolio performance from their smartphones or tablets. This guide covers setup, usage, security best practices, staking, troubleshooting, and advanced mobile features.

Why Use Ledger Live Mobile?

Mobile access to crypto assets offers convenience without compromising security. Ledger Live Mobile maintains all security standards, requiring hardware wallet confirmations for transactions. Users can manage assets on the go while private keys remain safely stored on the Ledger device.

Installation and Setup

Step 1: Download the App

Ledger Live Mobile is available on both iOS and Android. Download from the official app store. Avoid third-party sources to prevent malicious software installation.

Step 2: Pair with Ledger Device

Connect your Ledger hardware wallet via Bluetooth (Nano X) or USB OTG (Nano S Plus). Follow the on-screen instructions to pair securely. Transactions still require confirmation on the device.

Step 3: Set Up Mobile Security

Enable biometric login (Face ID or Touch ID) or a numeric passcode for fast and secure access. Biometric login ensures convenience while keeping unauthorized users out.

Managing Crypto Assets

Staking and Earning Rewards

Users can stake supported tokens like Tezos, Tron, and Ethereum 2.0 directly from the mobile app. Ledger Live Mobile allows delegation without exposing private keys. Staking rewards are displayed in real-time, providing full transparency of asset growth.
