[Ledger Nano S] Ledger Live (noob question)

[quartzz]

I was assuming that Ledger would display my BTC balance on the screen.

From what I read it doesn't, right? That's confusing because even on the ledger box, there is "150 BTC" displayed on the screen.

So how to make sure my money in on cold wallet device? From the moment I see money on the Ledger Live, does it mean it is already on the device?

Sorry if my question sounds dumb, but I find it a bit confusing.

It does. Not on the Ledger LCD display (hardware device), but on the wallet desktop software that controls it (Ledger Live).

Just check your balance with the Ledger Live. Or search your address in a blockchain explorer. If the coins are there, they will show up in the balance.

Ok thanks!

And when I'm in bitcoin app > settings > public key export pproval, I have Manual approval and Auto approval. What is it? I can't seem to open these approval at all

What exactly are you trying to do?

According to Ledger's FAQ:

- Manual approval (default): public key exports require a confirmation on the device.
- Auto approval: public key exports are automatically approved.
