Auto-Update vs Manual Download — Which to Pick
Overview: Auto-Update vs Manual Download — Which to Pick — here are the key points in plain English.
Key takeaway: Updates should be driven from inside the official app — back up first, run the checks in order and restart the device when prompted.
Action steps:
- Automatic updates suit daily users — they keep security fixes current.
- Manual downloads suit cautious users who want to wait a cycle.
- Either way, download only from ledger.com and verify signatures.
- Back up the phrase before any firmware update.
- Document your update policy if you manage multiple devices.
Safety reminder: Use only the official Ledger site and Ledger Live. Never type your recovery phrase or PIN into a webpage and never share them with anyone. Pause and verify the moment anything looks unusual.
