Android Installation Notes by Brand
| Phone Brand | Notes |
|---|---|
| Huawei/Honor | On HarmonyOS, go to "Settings > Security > More Security Settings" to enable "External source app downloads"; Pure HarmonyOS requires downloading APK via browser |

iOS Installation Steps
- Prepare an overseas Apple ID: You need an Apple ID from a supported region such as the US or Hong Kong. If you don't have one, you can register a new overseas account at appleid.apple.com.
- Switch your App Store account: Go to "Settings > Tap your name at the top > Media & Purchases > Sign Out," then sign back in with your overseas Apple ID. Only sign out of "Media & Purchases" — do not sign out of iCloud, as this would affect your photos and contacts.
- Search and download: Open the App Store, search for "Binance," find the official Binance app (developer: Binance Inc.), and tap download to install.
- Switch back to your original account: After installation, switch back to your regular Apple ID using the same method. Already installed apps will not be removed.
Note: When updating the Binance app in the future, you will need to switch back to your overseas Apple ID to update it in the App Store.
Desktop Client Installation Steps
- Choose the right version: Go to the Binance website download page and select either the Windows version (.exe) or macOS version (.dmg) based on your operating system. The macOS version supports both Intel and Apple Silicon chips.
- Download the installer: The file is approximately 150 MB. A stable internet connection is recommended.
- Install and run:
- Windows: Double-click the .exe file and follow the prompts to complete installation. If a security prompt appears, click "Run anyway."
- macOS: Open the .dmg file and drag the Binance icon into the Applications folder. If a warning about an unidentified developer appears on first launch, go to "System Settings > Privacy & Security" and click "Open Anyway."
- Sign in: Launch the client and log in with your Binance account to access the full range of trading features.
Security Reminders
- Download only from official sources: Always obtain the installer from the official Binance website or App Store. Never download from unofficial sources such as Telegram groups, forums, or social media groups — packages from these sources may be tampered with and contain malicious code.
- Verify installer integrity: After downloading, compare the SHA256 checksum provided on the official website to ensure the file has not been tampered with.
- Keep your app updated: Update to the latest version promptly to receive the newest security patches and feature improvements.
- Enable two-factor authentication: As soon as installation is complete, set up Google Authenticator or SMS verification to protect your account.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if the APK download is slow or fails?
Check your network connection and try switching between WiFi and mobile data. If the download is interrupted in your browser, try using a different browser (such as Chrome or Edge) to re-download. The installer is about 80 MB and should complete within a few minutes on a normal connection.
What if the app shows a white screen after installation?
The Binance app needs to load data online on its first launch, so a white screen usually indicates a network connection issue. Confirm your network is working and reopen the app. If the problem persists, try clearing the app cache or reinstalling.
Can I install Binance on iPhone without switching Apple IDs?
No. Since the Binance app is not available in certain regional App Stores, you must use an Apple ID from a supported region to find and download it. We recommend registering a separate overseas Apple ID specifically for downloading such apps.
Will updating the app cause data loss?
No. All Binance account data (assets, orders, settings, etc.) is stored on the server side. Updating the app only replaces the local client program — everything remains intact after you log in.
Are there feature differences between desktop and mobile?
The core trading features are identical. The desktop client's advantage is a larger screen with clearer candlestick charts, making it ideal for users who frequently check market data and perform technical analysis. The mobile app excels in portability, allowing you to trade anytime, anywhere.
