Ledger Live App | Mobile Crypto Wallet Management

Introduction to Ledger Live Mobile

The Ledger Live App offers a robust and secure platform for managing your cryptocurrency portfolio on the go. Designed for both Android and iOS, Ledger Live Mobile extends the trusted experience of Ledger's hardware wallets, giving users seamless control over their digital assets anywhere, anytime.

While users often explore options such as Trezor.io/start and software like Trezor Suite, the Ledger Live App combines mobile convenience with top-tier security, integrating directly with Ledger’s hardware wallets. Unlike Trezor Bridge which facilitates browser-device communication, Ledger Live Mobile functions natively on mobile devices, eliminating the need for intermediary software.
