What is Ledger Live Mobile?
Ledger Live Mobile is the official companion app from Ledger that lets you securely manage cryptocurrencies and NFTs on the go. It provides the same robust security model Ledger is known for while offering a modern, intuitive mobile experience.
Key benefits
- Secure access: Connect your Ledger hardware device (Ledger Nano X / Ledger Nano S Plus) via Bluetooth or use the mobile app in a software-only watch mode.
- Multi-asset support: Track Bitcoin, Ethereum, major altcoins, tokens and NFTs under one roof.
- Portfolio & analytics: Real-time balance, performance tracking, and market data to help you make informed decisions.
- Simplified transactions: Send and receive crypto, with clear UX, gas fee management, and transaction history.
- Built-in swap & staking: Use integrated partners to swap assets or stake eligible tokens to earn rewards without leaving the app.
Security model — how your keys stay safe
Ledger's security model separates the user interface (the mobile app) from the private keys stored inside your Ledger hardware device. Private keys never leave the secure element on the device. When you approve a transaction, the app sends the unsigned transaction to the device for signing — this ensures your keys remain offline and protected.
Get started — quick setup
Using the app daily — tips & features
Ledger Live Mobile is built for both casual users and advanced traders. Here are practical ways to use it:
- Portfolio snapshot: Check balances and recent performance at a glance.
- Send & receive: Use the QR code scanner to quickly receive funds or scan a recipient's address. Confirm each transaction securely on your device.
- Swap: Exchange tokens through integrated providers — the app shows rates and estimated fees before you confirm.
- Stake & earn: Stake eligible tokens directly in the app with trusted partners and monitor rewards.
- Alerts & price tracking: Set price alerts to be notified when an asset hits a target.
Privacy & settings
Ledger Live collects minimal analytics required to operate the app. You can manage permissions and privacy options in settings, disable analytics, and control push notifications. For complete privacy, run the app in watch-only mode — this allows portfolio monitoring without exposing private signing capabilities.
Common FAQs
Can I restore my wallet from the mobile app?
No — restoring a hardware-protected wallet requires the recovery phrase which should be entered only on a secure device following Ledger's official recovery process. Ledger Live mobile can add accounts and view balances, but the private keys remain on your hardware device.
Does Ledger Live Mobile support NFTs?
Yes — the app supports popular NFT standards and displays NFTs connected to your Ethereum or compatible accounts. Visual rendering depends on the media type and token metadata.
Developer & enterprise integrations
Ledger Live offers APIs and integration options for partners, custodians, and developers who need secure signing or portfolio aggregation. Enterprises can combine Ledger hardware with custom integrations for treasury management and secure signing workflows.
Whether you’re checking balances, moving funds, or tracking an NFT drop, Ledger Live Mobile brings security-first crypto management to your pocket — without sacrificing convenience.
Accessibility & support
Ledger Live Mobile aims to be accessible: scalable text, clear contrast, and touch targets designed for mobile use. If you encounter issues, consult the in-app help center or Ledger's official support pages for step-by-step troubleshooting.
