Don't Want to Install the App? How to Access and Use Binance Web Version
Not everyone wants to install the Binance app on their phone or computer. You might find it troublesome to install too much software, or perhaps you only occasionally check the market and don't need a dedicated app, or maybe your phone is running out of storage space. In fact, Binance has a fully functional web version that you can use just by opening your browser, and its features are essentially the same as the app. First, register an account on the Binance Official Website. You can also download the Binance Official App at any time for a better experience. iPhone users can refer to the iOS Installation Guide.
What Can the Binance Web Version Do
The features of the Binance web version are very comprehensive; almost everything you can do on the mobile app, you can do on the web version:
- Register and log in to your account
- Complete identity verification (KYC)
- Deposit and withdraw cryptocurrencies
- Spot trading: Buy and sell BTC, ETH, and various other coins
- Futures trading: Go long or short
- P2P trading: Buy USDT with fiat currency
- View market data and candlestick charts
- Asset management: Check balances, transfer funds
- Earn products: Earn interest with flexible or locked savings
- Security settings: Change passwords, bind 2FA

FAQ
Do I need to register a new account for the web version?
No. Binance accounts are universal. The account you registered on the app can be used to log in directly on the web version, and vice versa.
Is the web version safe?
As long as you ensure you are opening the official website and your computer is not infected with viruses, the security of the web version is guaranteed. The Binance web version uses various security measures like SSL encryption and 2FA verification. However, compared to the app, the web version is more susceptible to phishing attacks, so always verify the URL.
Which is better to use on a phone: the web version or the app?
If you trade frequently, it is recommended to install the app for a better experience. If you only occasionally check market prices or make one or two trades, the web version is perfectly adequate and doesn't take up phone space.
Can I use the web version for P2P crypto purchases?
Yes. P2P trading can be fully conducted on the web version, and the operation process is roughly the same as on the app.
Are the candlestick charts clear on the web version?
They are extremely clear on a computer, and the large screen is its biggest advantage. They are also okay on a mobile browser, though the screen is a bit small; you can view them in landscape mode.
Can I set price alerts using the web version?
Yes, but you need to allow your browser to send notifications. In the candlestick chart area of the trading page, there are usually options to set price alerts. However, the alerts on the web version require you to keep the browser open; if you close the browser, you won't receive them. This is not as convenient as the app.
