How to Use Ledger Live on Mobile?

Getting Started with Ledger Live Mobile

Ledger Live mobile transforms your hardware wallet management experience by allowing you to handle multiple cryptocurrencies anytime, anywhere. Available for both Android and iOS, the app securely pairs with Ledger Nano X, Ledger Stax, and supports Ledger Nano S/S Plus with OTG cables.

Before starting, ensure your mobile device runs iOS 15+ or Android 10+ and has at least 150 MB free space to accommodate the app and blockchain data cache.

Step 1: Download and Install Ledger Live Mobile
