How to Download the Binance App on iPad? Tablet Installation Guide

Looking at market charts on the large screen of an iPad is extremely satisfying, and many traders love using Binance on their iPads. However, because the Binance app is not available on the App Store in mainland China, the installation process requires a few extra steps. You need to first go to the Binance official website to register an account, and then download the Binance official app via an overseas Apple ID. For a detailed installation process for Apple devices, you can refer to the iOS installation guide.

Prerequisites for Installing the Binance App on iPad

System Version Requirements

• Minimum Version: iPadOS 13.0
• Recommended Version: iPadOS 16.0 and above

Supported iPad Models

• All iPad Air models from iPad Air 2 onwards
• All iPad mini models from iPad mini 4 onwards
• All standard iPad models from iPad 5th generation (2017) onwards
• All iPad Pro models

If your iPad model is too old to support iPadOS 13 or above, you will not be able to install the Binance app.

What You Need

• An Apple ID from an overseas region (such as US, Hong Kong, Japan, etc.)
• A stable network connection
• Sufficient storage space (at least 500MB available)

Why Can't You Find Binance in the China App Store?

Due to regulatory policies in mainland China, cryptocurrency trading apps are not allowed to be listed on the China App Store. This is not just a Binance issue; other exchanges (such as OKX, Bybit, etc.) are also absent from the China App Store.

To download the Binance app, you need to switch to an overseas App Store where Binance is listed, which requires an overseas Apple ID.

Installation Method 1: Switch App Store Account

If you already have an overseas Apple ID, this is the easiest method.

Operation Steps

1. Open the "App Store" on your iPad
2. Tap the profile picture in the top right corner
3. Scroll to the bottom and tap "Sign Out"
4. Log in with your overseas Apple ID
5. Search for "Binance"
6. Find the official Binance app (the developer should be Binance Inc.)
7. Tap "Get" to download and install
8. After installation is complete, you can switch back to your domestic Apple ID

Things to Note

• Switching your App Store account will not affect your iCloud account
• You only need to switch the login account for the App Store, not the Apple ID for the entire iPad
• You can switch back to your domestic account anytime after downloading
• The installed Binance app will not disappear when you switch back to your domestic account

Installation Method 2: Register a New Overseas Apple ID

If you do not have an overseas Apple ID yet, you need to register one first.

Recommended Regions for Registration

• US Region: The most complete selection of apps, Binance is definitely available
• Hong Kong Region: Language friendly (Traditional Chinese), also has Binance
• Japan Region: Binance is also listed here
• Singapore Region: Has Binance, suitable for users in Southeast Asia

Registration Steps

1. Open the Apple ID registration page in your browser (appleid.apple.com)
2. Click "Create Your Apple ID"
3. When filling out the information, select the overseas region you want to register in for Country/Region
4. Use a new email address (do not use the same email as your domestic Apple ID)
5. Enter a phone number for verification
6. Complete registration

First-Time Login Setup

When a newly registered overseas Apple ID logs into the App Store for the first time, some additional information needs to be provided:

1. After logging in, a prompt will appear saying "This Apple ID has not yet been used in the iTunes Store"
2. Tap "Review"
3. Agree to the Terms and Conditions
4. Select "None" for Payment Method
5. Fill in any address corresponding to that region (you can search for one online)
6. Complete setup

Installation Method 3: Via Family Sharing

If your family or friends already have an overseas Apple ID and have already downloaded Binance, you can get it through Family Sharing.

Operation Steps

1. Ask the person with the overseas Apple ID to add you to their Family Sharing group
2. Accept the Family Sharing invitation on your iPad
3. Find the Binance app to download through "Purchased" items

This method is quite convenient, but it requires the other person's cooperation.

Usage Experience After Installing Binance on iPad

Advantages of the Large Screen

The iPad's large screen offers many advantages when using Binance:

• K-Line Charts: Viewing K-line charts on the iPad is very clear, allowing you to see more timeframes and details
• Multi-Window Trading: iPadOS supports Split View, allowing you to watch the market and place orders at the same time
• Data-Intensive Pages: Data-intensive pages like holding information and order lists are clear at a glance on the large screen
• Drawing Tools: Using drawing tools like trend lines and support/resistance lines is more precise on the large screen

Advantages of iPad Pro

If you are using an iPad Pro:

• ProMotion Display (120Hz refresh rate): Smoother chart scrolling
• Larger Screen (11-inch or 12.9-inch): More comfortable for viewing charts
• M-Series Chip: Powerful performance, runs Binance effortlessly
• Face ID: Quick unlock and login verification

Landscape Mode

The Binance app on iPad generally supports landscape mode, and viewing K-line charts in landscape offers the best experience. Turning your iPad sideways will automatically switch the orientation.

Notification Settings

1. Go to your iPad's "Settings → Notifications → Binance"
2. Turn on notifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the Binance app on iPad the same as the one on iPhone?

Yes, it is the same app. The Binance app is universal for iPhone and iPad, and will automatically adapt to the large screen on the iPad. The one you download on the iPhone is the exact same application as the one you download on the iPad.

Is there a difference between trading on an iPad and trading on a phone?

Functionally they are exactly the same; the difference is mainly in the experience. The iPad's large screen makes viewing charts clearer and operating more comfortable, but a phone is more portable and suitable for checking the market anytime, anywhere. Many people use both devices—using the iPad at home and the phone while out.

Do I need to register a separate account for the Binance app on iPad?

No. Your Binance account is universal across all devices. Just log in on the iPad with the same account you use on your phone.

Can my very old iPad install Binance?

It depends on the specific model. Models from iPad Air 2 (2014) onwards support iPadOS 13 and above, and can be installed. Earlier models (like the first generation iPad Air, iPad 4, etc.) cannot upgrade to iPadOS 13 and cannot be installed.

Will switching to an overseas Apple ID affect my iCloud data?

No, as long as you only switch the login account in the App Store, and not the account for the entire device in "Settings → Apple ID". Logging into the App Store and logging into iCloud can be separated.

How do I switch back to the domestic App Store after installing Binance on iPad?

Just sign out of the overseas Apple ID in the App Store, and then log in with your domestic Apple ID. The installed Binance app will remain and will not be deleted. In the future, when you need to update Binance, just temporarily switch back to the overseas account to update.
