What’s causing headaches on Android this year isn’t the installation package—it’s the system. With the same APK, you could tap once and get it installed in the first couple of years. Now on Xiaomi it pops up pure mode, on vivo it prompts i Manager, and on devices with Google Play there’s yet another protection step to get through. The package itself is actually the simplest part of the entire process.
📦【Where to get the package】
Direct Android package link: https://download.binance.com/pack/BNApp_F0001674.apk
Or go through the “Android Download” button on the download page—what you get is the same package.
⚠️ Binance packages posted on third-party software sites are generally still on old versions like v3.3.3, v3.8.8, or v3.18.5, which are several generations behind the current version.Don’t install if the version number doesn’t match., this criterion is far more useful than "Be careful of phishing".
🔓【Allow "Unknown Sources": one by one】
▸ Xiaomi / Redmi (HyperOS): First exit Pure Mode in the Security Center, then follow the pop-up to allow this installation.
▸ Huawei (EMUI / HarmonyOS): In Settings, search for "apps from external sources" and grant the browser or file manager permission separately.
▸ Honor (MagicOS): Also search in Settings for "external sources" and grant permissions to the app used for downloading.
▸ OPPO / OnePlus (ColorOS): Settings → Privacy Protection → Special Permissions → Install Unknown Apps. Select the source app and turn the switch on.
▸ vivo / iQOO (OriginOS): i Butler will block it once—tap "Continue Installation". If necessary, temporarily turn off the installation block in i Butler.
▸ Samsung (One UI): During installation, you’ll see a "Unknown Sources" prompt. Tap【Settings】 to enable the switch for the source app.
▸ Devices with Google Play: The Play Protect mechanism will prompt "Unknown developer"—choose to continue installation.
If you can’t find the menu, search in the system settings search box for "unknown apps" or "external sources". Different brands call it different names, but the location is very similar.
⚠️ Pure HarmonyOS (the one without Android compatibility) can’t install APKs. For this kind of device, use the web version first.
🔍【Don’t log in after installing—check the version number first】
After installing, find Binance in your phone’s 【App Management】 and check whether the version number matches the one shown on the official download page. If they’re several generations apart, uninstall and download again.
After logging in, you can still verify it again: 【Account Center】→【Settings】→【Other】→【About Us】to view version information. Next to it, 【Check for Updates】 is used to upgrade.
📌 Apps installed via an installation package won’t update automatically. After a while, tap 【Check for Updates】 by yourself. Overwrite installation won’t lose data, and you don’t need to log in again.
🧯【Three types of installation failure prompts】
▸ Problem when parsing the package: The package wasn’t downloaded completely or there isn’t enough storage space. Delete it and download again.
▸ App not installed / conflicts with an existing app: You still have the old package or a modified third-party package on your phone—uninstall them completely first, then install.
▸ Blocked by security software: Go back to the previous section to turn on the corresponding allow switch, then tap the installation package again.
📲【The first thing to do after installing】
If you already have an account, tap 【Log in】—don’t register again in the App. The registration page and login page differ only by the top line title. If you tap through, you’ll accidentally open another account.
If you don’t have an account yet, register using https://www.binance.com/zh-CN/join?ref=WIN98. After creating the account, that screen will ask whether you were invited by someone—enter WIN98. Spot and leverage trading fees get a 20% discount.
Before switching phones or reinstalling, first turn off 【Important scenarios require passkey verification】. Otherwise, you may not be able to log in after reinstalling.
❓【FAQ】
▸ Can’t find Binance in the app store: Android doesn’t rely on app stores in the first place. Just install this package directly: https://download.binance.com/pack/BNApp_F0001674.apk.
▸ Do you have to have Google Play? No. Mainland China devices can install and use it the same way even without Play.
▸ Can I use this package on an iPhone? No—APK only works on Android. For iPhone, use a non-Mainland Apple ID to search for "Binance" in the App Store and download it.
▸ Is the Binance Verifier the same app? No. That’s Binance’s own two-step verification app. It’s listed separately on the download page—don’t search for the same name in the store to install it.
▸ Is the web version enough? It’s fine for daily trading, but tools like trading insights are only available in the app.
⚠️【Three reminders】
Never install packages forwarded in group chats or packages from cloud drives. Binance suspects that when users install fake clients, they may ask people to export the installation package from their phones for verification—this isn’t a low-probability event.
Check the version number before logging in after installation. The biggest thing a fake package wants is you enter your password and verification code into it.
Before reinstalling or changing devices, turn off passkey verification first. If you don’t do this, you’ll have to go through the process even when contacting customer support later.
