Can Huawei Phones Install Binance? Huawei HarmonyOS Binance App Installation Guide
Due to the use of HarmonyOS, Huawei phones will encounter some extra security prompts when installing third-party APKs. However, you can absolutely install the Binance app. First, register an account on the Binance official website, and then download the official Binance app installation package. For iOS users, please refer to the iOS installation guide.
What is Special About Installing Binance on Huawei Phones
Huawei's HarmonyOS has stricter security detection mechanisms for APK installations, mainly reflected in:
- Pure Mode: HarmonyOS enables "Pure Mode" by default, which blocks the installation of apps not from the Huawei AppGallery.
- Risky App Prompt: A warning saying "Risky app detected" may pop up during installation.
- Installation Source Restriction: You need to manually grant the browser permission to install apps.
These are all system security policies and do not affect the security of the Binance app itself.
Installation Steps
Step 1: Disable Pure Mode
- Open "Settings"
- Search for "Pure Mode" or go to Settings → Security → Pure Mode
- Tap to disable Pure Mode
- The system will prompt a risk warning, tap "Turn off anyway" to confirm
Step 2: Download the APK
Open the built-in Huawei browser or another browser, go to the official Binance download page, and click to download the Android APK installation package.
Step 3: Handle Security Prompts
Click to install after the download is complete, and you may encounter the following prompts:
- "Risky app detected": This is a prompt shown by the Huawei system for all apps outside its AppGallery; it does not mean there is a problem with the app. Click "Understand the risks and continue installation" → "Install anyway".
- "Requires installation permission": Click "Settings" → Find the corresponding browser → Enable "Allow app installs".
Step 4: Installation Complete
Wait for the installation to finish. You can then choose to re-enable Pure Mode. The already installed Binance app will not be affected.

Common Questions
What if the App Crashes After Installation?
First, confirm that you have downloaded the latest version of the APK. If it still crashes, try clearing the app cache: Settings → Apps → Binance → Storage → Clear cache, then reopen it.
Can Huawei Phones Receive App Updates?
Yes. The Binance app has a built-in update detection feature and will prompt you within the app when a new version is available. You can also regularly visit the official download page to redownload the latest APK and install it over the existing one.
Can HarmonyOS NEXT (Pure HarmonyOS) Install Binance?
Currently, the pure HarmonyOS NEXT system is not compatible with Android APKs. If your Huawei phone has upgraded to pure HarmonyOS NEXT, you temporarily cannot install Binance via APK and are advised to use the web version instead.
Conclusion
The key to installing the Binance app on a Huawei phone is to disable Pure Mode. The process is not complicated; simply disable it, download the APK, and install it normally. After the installation is complete, you can re-enable Pure Mode to keep your phone secure.
