How to Enable Price Alerts and Push Notifications on Binance App

Anyone who trades crypto knows that prices can change in an instant. If you have a target price but miss the entry or exit opportunity, it could result in a significant loss. The Binance app has a very practical feature — price alerts, which can send a push notification to your phone when a specific coin reaches your set price. Many beginners don't know how to set it up, so today we will explain it in detail. You first need to register an account on the Binance Official Website and then install the Official Binance App to use this feature. iPhone users can refer to the iOS Install Guide for app installation.

What to Do If You Don't Receive Notifications

You set up the alert, the price is reached, but you don't get the notification? Check the following:

Check Phone Notification Permissions

As mentioned earlier, let's emphasize it again: make sure your phone's system allows Binance to send notifications.

Check Do Not Disturb Mode

• "Focus Mode" or "Do Not Disturb" on iPhone will silence all notifications.
• "Do Not Disturb" mode on Android will also block them.
• If these modes are on, you need to add Binance as an exception.

Check App Background Running Permissions

• Some Android phones kill background apps to save battery.
• If the Binance app is closed in the background, it won't receive pushes.
• You need to allow Binance to run in the background in your phone settings.

Specific Android Operations (may vary slightly by brand):

1. "Settings" > "Battery" > "App Launch" or "Background Usage".
2. Find Binance.
3. Turn off "Manage automatically" and manually enable:
   • Auto-launch
   • Secondary launch
   • Run in background

Check Battery Saver Mode

• Battery Saver mode might restrict app background activities.
• Turn off Battery Saver mode or add Binance to the unrestricted apps list.

Check Network Connection

• Push notifications require an internet connection.
• If your phone has no internet, notifications may be delayed.
• Ensure your phone stays connected to the network.

iPhone-Specific Issues

• Confirm that "Time Sensitive Notifications" for Binance is turned on in "Settings" > "Notifications".
• Ensure they are not being delayed by the "Notification Summary".
• Select "Deliver Immediately" in the "Notifications" settings.

Tips for Using Price Alerts

Don't Set Too Many Alerts

• Setting too many alerts will make your phone buzz constantly, causing you to ignore important ones.
• Only set alerts for truly critical price levels.
• Usually, 5-10 alerts are enough.

Set Key Price Levels

• Support and resistance levels
• Your target buying price
• Your stop-loss price
• Your take-profit price

Use in Conjunction with a Trading Plan

• Don't trade impulsively just because you receive an alert.
• An alert is just to draw your attention to the market; specific actions should depend on the overall situation at that time.
• It is recommended to set up limit orders simultaneously, so your order executes automatically even if you miss the notification.

Timely Cleanup of Expired Alerts

• Delete price alerts that have already been reached.
• Also, delete alerts for coins you are no longer monitoring.
• Keep your alert list clean.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are price alerts free?

Yes. The price alert feature on the Binance app is completely free and has no limit on the number you can set (though there is a reasonable cap).

Is there a delay between the alert and the actual market price?

There will be a slight delay, usually between a few seconds to a few dozen seconds. This is because the push notification itself takes time to deliver to your phone. If you need precise price execution, setting a limit order directly is recommended.

Will I still get alerts if I close the Binance app?

If you completely exit the app (not just pushing it to the background, but killing it from the app switcher), you might not receive them. It is recommended to allow Binance to run in the background. On iPhone, this is generally not an issue, but Android users need to pay attention to background running permissions.

Can I set multiple price alerts for the same coin?

Yes. You can set multiple price alerts for the same trading pair, such as one alert when BTC reaches 60,000 and another when it hits 65,000.

Can I receive price alerts in Airplane mode?

No. Price alerts require an internet connection, and since there is no network in Airplane mode, you cannot receive push notifications.

Can I choose to only receive important notifications while sleeping?

Yes. You can turn off non-essential pushes like activity notifications in the Binance app's notification settings, keeping only price alerts and security notifications. Alternatively, you can use your phone's Do Not Disturb mode and set Binance as an exception.
