What is the Ledger Live App?

The Ledger Live App is the mobile companion to Ledger Live Desktop, providing seamless access to your cryptocurrency portfolio through your iOS or Android device. This powerful application allows you to manage your Ledger® hardware wallet on the go, offering most of the functionality of the desktop version in a mobile-optimized interface.

With the Ledger Live App, you can check your portfolio balance, send and receive cryptocurrencies, and even buy crypto or earn rewards through staking – all while maintaining the highest security standards that Ledger® is known for. Your private keys remain securely stored on your Ledger® hardware device, never on your phone or in the cloud.
