Visit Ledger SupportWhere should I download Ledger Live?
Use Ledger's official Ledger Live page or the official Apple App Store / Google Play Store listing. Avoid third-party download portals, search ads, and links sent in messages.
Do I need a Ledger device to use Ledger Live?
Ledger Live is designed to work with Ledger hardware wallets. A device helps you keep private keys offline and confirm transactions on the device itself.
How do I know whether I have the latest version?
Check the update notice within Ledger Live or compare with the current release on Ledger's official site. Release availability can vary by platform, so we don't publish a static version number here.
Will Ledger support ever ask for my recovery phrase?
No. Never share your recovery phrase with anyone or enter it into an app, website, or support conversation. Anyone who asks for it is not legitimate support.
