okay so i connected my ledger to my computer. But when i do this, i don't get the message of updating to ledgerlive. So could i use it as is now or do i have to go directly to the website to download ledgerlive?
also does that mean if you use ledgerlive, its much easier to use? Example i know if you have other coins besides bitcoin, you need to sign out of the btc wallet and go to another wallet in the chrome app etc. So ledgerlive is different?
Topic: Nano Ledger S Ledger Live? - page 2. (Read 427 times)
hi there. i mean last time when i plugged my nano ledger into my laptop, there was option to install ledgerlive and because i never seen that, i just clicked don'd update.
so when i do update it, the link i got when clicked my nano ledger s into it is the one to update it right? well i thought it was updating firmware so i didn't. okay i will update it to ledgerlive. so when i do this, is it same thing to log into wallet? example i keep bitcoin in it so when i log in, i enter my code, then it ask bitcoin or bitcoin cash and segwit or the other thing etc. Does it ask you same questions or its different?

Hi there. I like to mention that i haven't used my nano ledger in a while. So thats why when i plugged it into laptop. i notice i got that ledger live update asking me to update it. But were there previous updates before this? So how often are there updates? The thing is some people i read mention say update it otherwise you could have issues later on?
Im going to update it later soon. So basically when i plug my ledger into my laptop and open it from chrome as i always do, just click on update. But when i do this, are there any more questions they ask during the update process? I want to know this before i do anything such as if they ask me something and not sure what the answer is. Example like when i first set it up, it ask me if what kind of bitcoin wallet i wanted such as segwit or the other option and i dont want to be confused what to do during the installation process. Also how long is the entire process? Are there cases where it updates then freezes etc? Saw someone mention it did for them here...

There is no new update for your Ledger Nano S ( firmware ), only thing you can do is to install Ledger Live desktop application and use it to access your coins. This option is not same as updating firmware and you should not be concerned about it.
I am confused that you say Ledger Live ask you to update, so you have it on your PC or not? For install this app you do not need to use Google Chrome app for Ledger, you should visit this link https://www.ledger.com/pages/ledger-live and download this app if you want.

I'm always hesistant of installing any updates for anything.
Is the switch from the chrome applications to ledger live the only update you didn't do yet ?
I'd heavily recommend to perform EVERY firmware update proposed by ledger.
This is mandatory if you want to keep your coins secured on your hardware device.
Regarding ledger live, currently it is the way to access all of your coins which have been previously accessible through chrome apps.
It is the recommended way due to the fact that 1) chrome applications aren't going to be supported for too long anymore and 2) chrome does collect TONS of data.
The process of updating itself is pretty straight forward and is explained very well on their FAQ.

You are right - I meant privacy. A slip of the tongue, so to speak. I had to download and install Chrome just to use Ledger, and wiped it as soon as I was happy Ledger Live was running smoothly. Chrome is a privacy nightmare.
I would recommend upgrading - it's a much nicer interface and has security advantages over having to use Chrome.
When you say security advantages, on what you think? Using Ledger with Chrome App or Ledger Live does not affect security of your private keys, they should be safe inside hardware wallet - and every transaction need to be confirmed by pressing button on device. Personally I do not see how is safer to use Ledger Live then Chrome App, it is just UI.
One thing which is different refers to privacy, it seems that Ledger Live is collects less user data then Chrome, but even that can be solved by forking the code as explained in this thread.
Chrome app will be discontinued, so you will lose support.
It's better to upgrade now to ledger live and get used to it.
Chrome app also have bad privacy. Ledger native app is already better now, as it is one application for all your coins.

I found it very straightforward - just a download, install, and a couple of setup screens. Took less than 5 minutes. I would recommend upgrading - it's a much nicer interface and has security advantages over having to use Chrome.

Sometime in the near future Chrome Apps are being discontinued, the platform that the old ledger apps were based off of. They developed a new native desktop application called ledger live. IMO it's much cleaner, reliable and easier to use. The chrome apps will continue to work as long as they exist, but they won't exist forever. Ledger live is also a new program you'll have to download and install, not a chrome app.
I haven't used my nano ledger s in a while but when i connected it recently, it asked me to install or upgrade to ledger live. Is this a requirement? And is this pretty simple and straightforward to do? I'm always hesistant of installing any updates for anything.
