The Ledger Live App maintains the core security principle of Ledger® hardware wallets: private keys never leave the secure element of your device. The mobile application serves as a secure interface that communicates with your hardware wallet through encrypted Bluetooth or USB connections. All transaction signing occurs within the hardware device, and users must physically verify transactions on their Ledger® screen. The app implements additional mobile-specific security layers including biometric authentication, encrypted local storage, and secure communication protocols to protect against mobile-specific threats while maintaining the convenience of on-the-go access.
The Ledger Live App supports Ledger Nano X via Bluetooth connectivity and Ledger Nano S Plus through USB-C connections with compatible Android devices. Ledger Nano S requires USB OTG adapters for Android connectivity. All Ledger® devices maintain the same security standards when used with the mobile app, ensuring your private keys remain secure within the hardware device regardless of connection method.
Yes, the Bluetooth connection used by Ledger Live App implements advanced encryption and security protocols. All sensitive cryptographic operations still occur within the secure element of your Ledger® device. The Bluetooth connection only transmits encrypted data for display purposes, and all transactions require physical verification on the device screen. This ensures that even if the Bluetooth connection were compromised, your private keys and funds would remain secure.
While the Ledger Live App requires internet connectivity for real-time portfolio updates, price data, and exchange features, you can prepare transactions offline. The app caches recent data for limited offline viewing, and all transaction signing occurs on the hardware device itself. However, to broadcast transactions to the blockchain and sync latest balances, an internet connection is necessary through either mobile data or Wi-Fi.
The Ledger Live App maintains the same core security principle as the desktop version: private keys never leave the hardware device. The main differences are the additional mobile security layers including biometric authentication and encrypted local storage. While the mobile operating environment presents different security considerations, the hardware-based security model ensures your assets remain protected even if the mobile device is compromised.
If you lose your phone, your cryptocurrency assets remain completely secure. The Ledger Live App doesn't store any sensitive information on your mobile device - 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 or simply install the app on a new device.
Yes, you can use both Ledger Live App and Ledger Live Desktop simultaneously with the same Ledger® device. Your accounts and transaction history sync across platforms when you connect your device. This allows flexible management where you can start transactions on desktop and complete them on mobile, or vice versa. Both platforms maintain the same security standards and require device verification for all sensitive operations.
