Yes, you can send transactions through the Ledger Live App when your Ledger® Nano X is connected via Bluetooth. The app requires physical verification on your hardware device for all outgoing transactions, maintaining the same security level as the desktop version. For Ledger® Nano S Plus users, you'll need a compatible USB adapter for mobile transaction signing.
Synchronization occurs through a secure QR code pairing process. When you set up the Ledger Live App, you'll scan a QR code displayed in your desktop Ledger Live. This establishes an encrypted connection that allows the mobile app to access your public wallet data (addresses, balances, transaction history) without exposing any private keys or sensitive information. The process maintains full security while enabling seamless cross-platform access.
Yes, your funds remain completely secure. The Ledger Live App only stores public wallet information and cannot access your private keys or authorize transactions without physical device connection. If you lose your mobile device, simply unpair it from your desktop Ledger Live and your security remains intact. Your cryptocurrency is protected by your Ledger® hardware wallet, and losing mobile access doesn't compromise your assets in any way.
While the Ledger Live App can function independently for basic portfolio monitoring, full functionality requires initial setup through desktop Ledger Live. You must first complete the hardware wallet initialization via Ledger.com/start, install desktop Ledger Live, and connect your Ledger® device. The mobile app serves as a companion to the desktop ecosystem and requires the secure synchronization established through the desktop application for complete feature access.
Balance discrepancies are typically due to synchronization timing or connection issues. The mobile app may take slightly longer to update compared to the desktop application. You can manually refresh the app data or re-sync using the QR code pairing process in desktop Ledger Live. Both applications read from the same blockchain data, so any differences are temporary and related to data caching rather than actual balance variations. A simple refresh usually resolves any inconsistencies.
The Ledger Live App is compatible with all Ledger® hardware wallet models, but connectivity differs. Ledger® Nano X supports Bluetooth connection for full mobile functionality. Ledger® Nano S Plus requires a compatible USB adapter for mobile use. All devices work seamlessly with the desktop version. The app provides the same security standards regardless of which Ledger® device you use, as it interacts with the wallet data through secure synchronization.
