Frequently Asked Questions

How does Bluetooth security work with the Ledger Live App?

The Bluetooth connection between your Ledger Nano X and the Ledger Live App uses advanced encryption and secure pairing protocols. Crucially, the Bluetooth link only transmits encrypted data for display purposes - all private keys and transaction signing remain isolated within your Ledger® device's secure element. This means even if the Bluetooth connection were compromised, your assets would remain protected.

Can I use the Ledger Live App for daily transactions and payments?

Absolutely. The Ledger Live App is perfect for daily cryptocurrency transactions. You can quickly send and receive crypto, check balances, and even use it for point-of-sale transactions. The app's streamlined interface makes frequent use practical, while the hardware wallet security ensures each transaction requires physical confirmation on your Ledger® device, preventing unauthorized transfers.

What's the battery impact of using Bluetooth with my Ledger Nano X?

The Ledger Nano X is optimized for Bluetooth efficiency with minimal battery drain. A full charge typically provides several hours of continuous Bluetooth operation or weeks of occasional use. The app manages connections intelligently, disconnecting when not in use to preserve battery life. For extended sessions, you can use USB-C connection to conserve device battery.

Can I access the same accounts on both mobile app and Ledger Live Desktop?

Yes, your accounts sync seamlessly between Ledger Live App and Ledger Live Desktop. When you add an account on one platform, it becomes available on the other once you connect your Ledger® device. This synchronization ensures consistent portfolio tracking and transaction history across all your devices while maintaining the same security standards.

How do I troubleshoot Bluetooth connection issues?

For Bluetooth problems: 1) Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on both devices, 2) Restart the Ledger Live App and your phone's Bluetooth, 3) Check that your Ledger Nano X has sufficient battery, 4) Remove old pairings and re-pair the devices, 5) Update to the latest firmware and app versions. If issues persist, try the USB-C cable as an alternative connection method.

Is my data stored locally or in the cloud?

All sensitive data remains local to your devices. The Ledger Live App stores your portfolio information locally on your phone, while your private keys stay secure in your Ledger® hardware wallet. No sensitive information is stored in the cloud, ensuring complete privacy and security. You can back up your portfolio data manually if needed, but your assets are always recoverable with your Ledger® device and recovery phrase.
