Ledger crypto wallet launches mobile application

Crypto wallet startup Ledger has announced the launch of its mobile application for iOS and Android devices.

Ledger Live mobile phone application will allow Ledger Nano S and Ledger Blue users to view their balances by scanning a LiveQR code presented on the Ledger Live desktop version. The app is currently featured in consultation mode.

“The Ledger Live smartphone app is compatible on iOS 9+ or Android Lollipop (5 and above) operating systems or higher,” Ledger said.

The app will enable users to wirelessly transact everywhere with the recently announced Ledger Nano X, which would facilitate connecting to both Android and iOS smartphones using Bluetooth.

“With the combination of the Ledger Live smartphone app and the Ledger Nano X, you will be able to manage your crypto assets. Not only that, but installing applications and updating your device’s firmware will be possible, everywhere you go,” it added.

Ledger said that it is currently working on a full version of the app. However, it clarified that the full version would be only available to Android users and not iOS users, as the connection can only be established through the use of an OTG cable.

“In the future, Ledger Nano S users (Android smartphones only) will be able to transact as well through the use of an OTG cable. We are working on having the same features for the Ledger Live mobile app as the desktop version,” Ledger said.
