OKX APP cannot be found in major app stores in China, leading many beginners to think "OKX is not available for mainland users." That's not the case—it's just that the download method differs from regular apps. Android and iOS methods vary, and we'll explain each clearly below.

1. Download Method for Android Users

For Android users, it's simplest—just download the official APK file and install it.

Step 1: Download the APK File

Click the link below to directly download the official OKX Android installation package:

Download OKX Android APK →

If the download page is inaccessible, try again after connecting to a VPN.

Step 2: Allow Installation from Unknown Sources

Once the APK is downloaded, tap the file to prepare for installation. The system will prompt "Allow installation from unknown sources."

The settings path varies slightly by phone model:

  • Huawei/Honor: Settings → Security → More Security Settings → Install Unknown Apps
  • Xiaomi: Settings → Privacy Protection → Special Permissions → Install Unknown Apps
  • OPPO/OnePlus: Settings → Other Settings → Device Security → Install from Unknown Sources

Find the corresponding setting, allow your browser or file manager to install external APKs, then go back and tap to install.

Step 3: Complete Installation

The installation process takes about 10-30 seconds. Once done, the OKX icon will appear on your home screen. Open it and log in.

Safety Tip: Only download the APK from the official website or links on this page. Do not download from Baidu search results or unknown sources—fake apps can steal your account.

2. Download Method for Apple Users

For Apple users, it's slightly more complicated because the OKX APP has been removed from the China App Store. You need to switch to an account from another region to download it.

Method 1: Use a Ready-Made Overseas Apple ID (Recommended for Beginners)

The easiest way is to use an existing Hong Kong or US Apple ID to log into the App Store, then search for "OKX" and download it.

How to get a Hong Kong Apple ID:

  • Borrow one from a friend
  • Purchase on platforms like Xianyu (use at your own risk; be mindful of account security)
  • Register one yourself (see Method 2)

Note: Only switch accounts in the App Store to download the app. Switch back to your own account immediately after downloading. Do not leave someone else's Apple ID on your phone long-term, as they could remotely lock your device.

Method 2: Register Your Own Hong Kong Apple ID

This is a one-time setup that works permanently. Recommended for patient users who want to handle it themselves.

Steps:

1. Open the Apple ID registration page (appleid.apple.com) and click "Create Your Apple ID"

2. Fill in your name, birthday, and use an email that hasn't been registered with an Apple ID

3. Select Hong Kong as the region

4. Phone verification: You can use a mainland China phone number to receive the verification code

5. After completing registration, open the App Store on your phone, tap the profile icon in the top right → Sign Out → Log in with your newly registered Hong Kong Apple ID

6. When prompted for payment method, select "None"

7. Search for "OKX," tap Get, and download/install

Step 3: Switch Back to Your Original Account After Downloading

Once OKX is downloaded, go back to the App Store, sign out of the Hong Kong account, and log back into your original Apple ID. This won't affect the normal use of the installed app.

3. Common Questions After Installing the APP

Q: What if the app shows a blank page or crashes after installation? This is usually a network issue. Try connecting to a VPN and reopening the app. If it still doesn't work, uninstall and re-download/install it.

Q: Can I use the app on mainland networks? In most cases, you can use it directly without needing a VPN all the time. However, if you encounter loading issues, turning on a VPN will resolve them.

Q: Does the app update automatically? Android users need to update manually—regularly download the latest APK from the official website and install it over the existing version. Apple users can manually check for updates after logging into the App Store with their Hong Kong account.

Q: What if I change my phone? Simply re-download the app and log in with your original account. Your assets won't be lost. Note that you may need to verify your identity via email or phone number when logging in.

Q: Can I use it on a tablet? Both Android tablets and iPads can install and use the app, with the same operation as the phone version.
