The Ledger Live App is Ledger's wallet-management application for interacting with compatible Ledger hardware wallets and managing supported cryptocurrency accounts. It provides a convenient interface for checking balances, reviewing transactions, and accessing available wallet features from a supported device.
The Ledger Live App is designed to work with Ledger hardware wallets and provide access to supported digital-asset management features. Depending on the device, platform, and current software version, users may be able to:
View cryptocurrency balances

Review transaction history
Receive supported digital assets
Prepare and approve transactions
Manage connected Ledger devices
Install or manage supported applications
Monitor portfolio information
Available features can vary by device, operating system, region, and supported asset.
For a secure setup, download the Ledger Live App only through official Ledger channels.
A typical setup process includes:
Install the official Ledger Live App.
Open the application and follow the setup instructions.
Connect your compatible Ledger hardware wallet when requested.
Unlock the hardware device using its PIN.
Follow the prompts to add or manage supported accounts.
Review your account balances and transaction activity.
Confirm important transactions directly on the Ledger device.
The exact steps may differ depending on your Ledger model and the version of the application.
Using legitimate software is essential when managing cryptocurrency. Verify the source before installing the app and be cautious of applications or websites that imitate Ledger's branding.
Never trust unsolicited messages claiming that your wallet needs urgent verification, synchronization, or security activation.
Never share your recovery phrase or private keys. A legitimate wallet-management service should not require you to disclose this information for normal account access or troubleshooting.
Your recovery phrase is highly sensitive and should remain private. Keep it stored securely offline and follow the instructions provided during your wallet's official setup or recovery process.
Never:
Enter your recovery phrase into an unfamiliar website.
Send it through email or messaging apps.
Give it to customer support.
Store it in an unsecured online location.
Share a photograph of it.
If someone requests your recovery phrase, stop and verify the request independently.
When using the Ledger Live App to send cryptocurrency, carefully review the transaction details displayed by the software. Most importantly, verify the recipient address and amount directly on your physical Ledger device before approving the transaction.
The hardware wallet provides an additional verification point before an important transaction is authorized.
If the app does not recognize your Ledger device:
Check the device connection.
Try another compatible cable or port where applicable.
Make sure the Ledger device is unlocked.
Restart the app.
Confirm that you are using the latest official version.
Follow the official troubleshooting instructions for your device.
Never provide your recovery phrase to someone claiming they can repair or synchronize your wallet.
