However, it’s important to note that, currently, this integration supports only one account.

Ledger plans to add multi-account support, showing its commitment to enhancing device flexibility for users.
The update to Metamask Mobile v7.17 or higher is crucial for users looking to take advantage of this new feature. Users are encouraged to complete this update to enjoy a secure experience.
