Connecting Ledger to a phone works best when the mobile app, Bluetooth permission, device model, and hardware screen are checked separately. Do not judge the whole flow from one phone screen; system pairing and Ledger Wallet recognition are related but not identical.
Prepare Ledger Wallet on the phone first
Open Ledger Wallet on the phone from a known entry before pairing. If the mobile app path needs review, use the phone connection guide for the broader mobile setup context.
Allow Bluetooth and nearby-device permissions
Mobile systems may name Bluetooth, nearby-device, or local permission prompts differently. Approve the permission needed by Ledger Wallet, then return to the app page. For the pairing sequence itself, compare the steps with the Bluetooth pairing guide.
Confirm the device model and screen prompt
Bluetooth connection is relevant to models that support that mobile flow. Keep the hardware device awake and follow the screen prompt while the phone searches. If the app opens but cannot reach the device page, continue with the device access checklist.
Record app recognition separately from system pairing
After pairing, note whether the phone Bluetooth list shows the device and whether Ledger Wallet recognizes it. If those two states differ, keep the notes separate: phone system record, Ledger Wallet page, device screen prompt, and app version.
