How to Download and Install the Binance App? Android + iOS Tutorial
The Binance app cannot be found in major app stores in mainland China, but installation is not complicated. There are separate methods for Android and Apple devices. This article explains both methods clearly, along with solutions for common issues.
1. Download Method for Android Users
Android installation is the simplest. Just download the official APK file and install it. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes.

Step 2: Handle Installation Permissions
After downloading, click the APK file. The system will prompt you to allow installation from unknown sources.
Settings paths for different phone brands:
- Huawei / Honor: Settings → Security → More Security Settings → Install Unknown Apps → Find File Manager → Allow
- Xiaomi / Redmi: Settings → Privacy Protection → Special Permissions → Install Unknown Apps → Allow
- OPPO / OnePlus / realme: Settings → Other Settings → Device Security → Install from Unknown Sources → Allow
- vivo: Settings → More Settings → Security → Install Unknown Apps → Allow
After allowing, go back and click the APK file. Wait for the installation to complete. The Binance icon appearing on your desktop means success.
Step 3: First-Time Setup After Installation
Open the app → Select language (Simplified Chinese) → Log in to your account → Complete device verification.
When logging in on a new device for the first time, the system will send a verification email or SMS to confirm your identity. This is a normal security process.
Important Note: Only download the APK from the official website or the link provided on this page. Do not download installation packages from unknown sources like Baidu search results, QQ groups, or WeChat groups. Fake apps can directly steal your account and assets.

2. Download Method for Apple Users
Apple users need a non-mainland China Apple ID. The Binance app has been removed from the Chinese App Store.
Method 1: Use a Hong Kong Region Apple ID Directly (Easiest)
The fastest way is to use an existing Hong Kong or US region Apple ID to log in to the App Store and search for "Binance" to download.
Obtaining a Hong Kong Region Apple ID:
- Borrow from a friend who has a Hong Kong region account (use only for downloading, log out immediately after)
- Purchase from platforms like Xianyu (be aware of risks, do not use someone else's account long-term)
- Register a Hong Kong region account yourself (one-time operation, permanently usable, see Method 2)
Precautions when using someone else's Apple ID: Only switch accounts within the App Store. Log back into your own account immediately after downloading. Do not replace the Apple ID in "Settings," otherwise, the other person can access your device data, which is extremely risky.
Method 2: Register Your Own Hong Kong Region Apple ID
This is a one-time operation. Once completed, it is permanently usable. Recommended for users who have time to do it themselves.
Specific Steps:
1. Open appleid.apple.com in your browser and click "Create your Apple ID"
2. Fill in your name and birthday, using an email address not previously registered with an Apple ID
3. Select Hong Kong as the region
4. You can use a mainland China phone number (+86) for phone verification
5. Complete the dual verification via email and phone number. The account is created successfully.
6. Open the App Store on your iPhone → Tap the profile icon in the top right corner → Log out of the current account → Log in with the new Hong Kong region account
7. When the system asks for a payment method, select "None"
8. Search for "Binance," tap "Get," and download/install.
Step 3: Switch Back to Your Original Account After Downloading
After Binance installation is complete: App Store → Tap profile icon → Log out of the Hong Kong region account → Log back into your original Apple ID.
The installed app will not be affected and can be used normally.
3. Common App Issues and Solutions
Q: What should I do if the app shows a white or black screen after opening? This is usually a network issue. Enable a VPN and reopen the app. If it still doesn't work, uninstall and re-download the latest version to install.
Q: What should I do if the app version is too old and prompts for an update? Android users should download the latest APK from the official website and install it over the existing one. Apple users should log in to the App Store with their Hong Kong region account and manually check for updates.
Q: Can it be used normally on mainland China's network? Most functions can be used normally on mainland China's network without needing a VPN constantly on. Features like checking market prices, trading, and C2C deposits/withdrawals usually work fine. Some features may occasionally require a VPN.
Q: Can I log in on multiple devices simultaneously? Yes, Binance supports simultaneous login on multiple devices. Each new device requires verification upon first login.
Q: How can I recover my account if I lose my phone? Reset your password using the email or phone number registered with your account. You will also need to verify your identity via Google Authenticator or a backup verification method. Therefore, be sure to save your backup verification codes and seed phrases in advance.
