The fundamental security principle that private keys never leave your hardware device ensures that mobile access cannot compromise your cryptocurrency assets.
The Ledger Live App is intentionally designed as a watch-only application for security purposes. Sending cryptocurrency requires transaction signing with your private keys, which must remain isolated on your physical Ledger® hardware device. This security separation ensures that even if your mobile device is compromised, attackers cannot access your funds. All sending operations require connecting your hardware device to the desktop Ledger Live Desktop application, maintaining the fundamental security principle that private keys never leave the hardware device.
Yes, the application employs multiple security layers including encrypted local storage, secure API communications, and optional biometric authentication. Since the app only handles public address information and never accesses private keys, your funds remain secure even if your mobile device is compromised. The watch-only architecture ensures that sensitive cryptographic material never leaves your hardware wallet. Additionally, all transmitted data is encrypted, and the app requires authentication for access, providing comprehensive protection for your portfolio information.
No, the Ledger Live App requires an active Ledger® hardware wallet and corresponding Ledger Live account. The app serves as a mobile companion to your hardware device, providing watch-only access to your portfolio data. For standalone mobile cryptocurrency management without hardware device requirements, consider other software wallet options available in app stores. The Ledger Live App is specifically designed to complement the security model of Ledger hardware wallets and cannot function as a standalone software wallet.
The mobile application synchronizes with Ledger's secure backend infrastructure, which maintains anonymized portfolio data associated with your accounts. When you add new transactions or accounts through the desktop Ledger Live Desktop, this information is securely propagated to the mobile application through encrypted channels. The synchronization process maintains privacy while ensuring consistent data across all your access points. The app typically syncs automatically when opened, or you can manually trigger synchronization through the app's settings menu.
The app maintains cached portfolio data for offline access to recent balance information and transaction history. However, real-time price updates, new transaction detection, and certain advanced features require an active internet connection. The application automatically synchronizes with the latest data once connectivity is restored, ensuring your portfolio information remains current. For critical operations requiring live data, the app will indicate when features are unavailable due to connectivity issues.
Yes, the Ledger Live App supports monitoring multiple Ledger® hardware devices within a single interface. You can easily switch between different devices or view aggregated portfolio data from all your wallets. This multi-device support is particularly useful for users who maintain separate devices for different purposes, security levels, or asset segregation strategies. The app synchronizes data from all connected devices, providing a comprehensive overview of your entire cryptocurrency portfolio across multiple hardware wallets in one convenient mobile interface.
