Binance is the world's #1 cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume. According to CoinMarketCap, it currently has over 190 million registered users and supports trading for 600+ cryptocurrencies. Android users can download and install the APK directly, while iPhone users need to switch to an overseas Apple ID.
The whole process takes about 3–5 minutes and requires no special tools
Tap the "Download Android APK" button above and your browser will start downloading automatically. The file is about 50MB, so we recommend downloading over Wi-Fi. The download comes directly from Binance's official servers and is identical to the Google Play version.
After downloading, tap to install. Your phone may show an "unknown source" warning. This is a standard Android prompt for any app installed outside of an app store — it doesn't mean the app is unsafe.
Wait for the installation to finish (usually 10–30 seconds). The yellow Binance icon will appear on your home screen. It may take a few seconds to load when you open it for the first time.
New users can tap "Sign Up," enter an email and password, and complete registration in about 2 minutes. Signing up through a referral link automatically applies a referral code, giving you a permanent trading fee discount on every trade. Existing users can simply log in.
You'll need to switch to an overseas Apple ID — the whole process takes about 5–10 minutes
The Binance app isn't available in some regional App Stores, so you'll need an overseas Apple ID. Recommended regions:
Don't have an overseas ID? Register one with a new email at Apple's website and select the desired country.
Important: Only switch "Media & Purchases" — do NOT sign out of iCloud. Signing out of iCloud could affect your photos, contacts, and other data.
After switching, open the App Store and search for "Binance". Look for the official app — yellow icon, developer is Binance Inc. — and tap "Get" to download. If prompted to verify a payment method, select "None".
Once installed, follow the same steps to sign out of the overseas ID and sign back in with your original Apple ID. The Binance app will not be deleted and will continue to work normally. You'll need to briefly switch back to the overseas ID for future app updates.
Supports Windows 10+ and macOS 10.15+, installer is about 100MB
Visit Binance's official download page and choose the version for your operating system. Windows users download the .exe installer; Mac users download the .dmg disk image. The Mac version supports both Intel and Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) architectures.
Windows: Double-click the .exe file and follow the prompts to complete installation. Mac: Double-click the .dmg file and drag the Binance icon into the Applications folder. On first launch, you may need to go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway".
Open the Binance desktop app and log in with the same credentials you use on the mobile app. Everything syncs across devices — orders placed on your computer show up on your phone too. The desktop version is especially great for chart analysis, multi-window trading, and large transactions.
Different Android phone brands may show different security prompts when installing APK files — here's how to handle each one
HarmonyOS requires disabling "Pure Mode" first. Go to Settings → Security → Pure Mode → Turn off. If you see a "risky app detected" warning during installation, tap "Continue installing after understanding the risks." View full guide →
MIUI will run a security scan during installation. Tap "Continue installing" → "I understand the risks, continue." On some models, you may also need to enable install permissions under Settings → Privacy protection → Special permissions. View full guide →
One UI has the simplest installation process. Go to Settings → Security and privacy → Install unknown apps → Select your browser → Enable. The Binance app is fully optimized for the Z Fold foldable series. View full guide →
ColorOS will show a security check during installation — select "I understand, continue installing." If you get a "package parsing failed" error, make sure the download completed fully and try again. View full guide →
On OriginOS/FuntouchOS, tap "Continue installing." If the install gets blocked, go to iManager → App management → Install source management and enable the permission. View full guide →
Stock Android makes installation a breeze. You can also search for "Binance" directly on Google Play. For APK installs, just tap "Install anyway" when the prompt appears. View full guide →
Protect your assets — always download from the right source
Only download the app from Binance's official website or official app stores. Never download from third-party sites, forum attachments, or group chats — those files could contain malicious code.
After installing, the first thing you should do is set up Google Authenticator for 2FA. According to Binance's official security report, enabling 2FA reduces the risk of account theft by over 99%.
Enable the anti-phishing code feature in the Binance app settings. Once set up, every official email from Binance will display your unique anti-phishing code, helping you spot fake emails.
Due to regional policies, Binance has been removed from some app stores. Android users can download the APK installer directly — no app store needed. iPhone users need to switch to a US, Japan, or Hong Kong Apple ID and then search for "Binance" in the App Store.
As long as you download the APK from official Binance channels, it's completely safe. After installation, the app connects to Binance's servers for verification and works identically to the app store version. You can verify file integrity by comparing the APK's SHA256 hash.
Absolutely normal. This is Android's standard security prompt for any app installed outside of an app store — it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the app itself. Just authorize the installation and you're good to go. Huawei/HarmonyOS users also need to disable "Pure Mode."
No. As long as you only switch "Media & Purchases" and not your iCloud account, all your data — photos, contacts, chat history, etc. — stays completely intact. After downloading Binance, just switch back to your original ID. The installed app won't be removed.
The Binance app supports over 40 languages, including Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, and more. You can switch the language anytime in the app settings.
They're functionally similar, but the desktop app is a native application with faster response times, system-level notifications, and multi-window support. The web version requires no installation — just open your browser. Frequent traders will benefit from the desktop app.
