How to Register and Download the OKX App on iOS (iPhone)
Downloading OKX on iPhone: The key is whether you can find it in the App Store
Straight to the point:If your Apple ID is registered in mainland China, you won't find "OKX" by searching in the App Store.It's not because the app has been removed; it's simply not available on the mainland China App Store.

There are only two ways to solve this: eitherget an Apple ID from a region outside mainland China(e.g., Taiwan, Hong Kong, the United States), switch to that account in the App Store, and search to download directly; orinstall the app via a configuration profile from the OKX official website. Both methods work, but they differ significantly in terms of security and complexity.
Below, we break down both methods so you can choose based on your situation.
First, confirm your Apple ID region
Open your iPhone's "Settings" → tap your name at the top → check the region under "Media & Purchases." If it shows "Mainland China," you'll need to follow the steps below. If it's already an overseas region, simply search for "OKX" in the App Store to download.
Method 1: Download with an overseas Apple ID (Recommended, cleanest)
This is the most common method—download directly from the App Store, and future updates are easy.
Step 1: Prepare an overseas Apple ID
You can either create one yourself or purchase a ready-made one.
Create your own (free, but a bit of effort): Go to the Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com), select "Taiwan" or "Hong Kong" as your region, and use your email and +86 phone number to complete registration. After successful registration, when you log in with this ID in the App Store, the system will prompt you to "Verify" your account info. On the payment information page, select "None" and fill in an address and phone number for the corresponding region.
Buy a ready-made one (convenient, inexpensive): Simply search for "Taiwan Apple ID" on e-commerce platforms or online, and you can receive the account credentials within minutes.
Important security reminder:Only use this overseas ID in the App Store—do not log into iCloud in your phone's "Settings" with it.If you log into a purchased ID in "Settings," the seller could remotely lock your phone.
Step 2: Log in with the overseas ID in the App Store and download
Open the App Store, tap your profile icon in the upper-right corner, scroll down, and sign out of your current account.
Log in with the prepared overseas Apple ID.
Search for "OKX," verify the developer is "OKX Inc." or "OKX MALTA LTD," and tap to download.
After the download completes, immediately sign out of the overseas ID in the App Store and switch back to your own account.For future app updates, temporarily log back into the overseas ID.
Method 2: Install via a configuration profile from the official website (no need to change ID)
If you don't want to deal with an Apple ID, you can use the configuration profile method provided on the OKX official website. This doesn't require changing accounts, but you'll need to repeat the process each time the app updates.
Steps:
Open the OKX official website (www.okx.com) using Safari on your iPhone.
Find the "Download App" entry, then tap "iOS Download" or "Download Configuration Profile."
The system will prompt you to install a configuration profile. Follow the instructions: Settings → General → VPN & Device Management → find the profile → tap "Install."
After installing the profile, return to the official website and tap "Install App" to start downloading the installation package.
If you see "Untrusted Enterprise Developer" when opening the app for the first time:
Go to "Settings" → "General" → "VPN & Device Management," under "Enterprise App" or "Configuration Profile," find the corresponding OKX developer certificate, and tap "Trust."

Next steps after downloading
Once the app is installed, open it to start registration.
Enter your email or phone number to receive a verification code, set a password, and complete account creation.
After successful registration, don't forget to completeidentity verification (KYC)in "Personal Center," as most trading and withdrawal features will be unavailable without it.
