TL;DR: the one-sentence summary

The bottom line: Binance has exactly one safe download source — the binance.com website, or the official Google Play / App Store. On Android, open www.binance.com/zh-CN/download and tap "Android download", or search Binance directly on Google Play. On iPhone, search Binance in the App Store and verify the developer is Binance Inc. (the app isn't searchable in some regions' stores due to regulation). This article only covers how to get the official app onto your phone; for install problems and blocks, see the Binance Android download & install guide with its troubleshooting table¹².

The official download link: just this one

Stop searching — there is exactly one official download page:

Official download page: www.binance.com/zh-CN/download (tap "Android download" on Android; on iOS it redirects to the App Store)

Stick to one rule: the distribution domain must end in binance.com (the official APK is actually served from download.binance.com). If a "Binance download" site you found elsewhere isn't using a binance.com domain, it's a counterfeit, no matter how much it looks like the official site — don't click¹. This rule is more reliable than any "does it look official" judgment.

Android: download in three steps

Android phones fall into two cases, both leading to the same official app:

Your phone	Which route
Has Google Play (Samsung, Pixel, phones with Google services)	Open Play Store, search Binance, install
No Google framework (most Xiaomi/OPPO/vivo/Huawei devices)	Download the APK from the official site

For the official APK route, it's three steps:

Open www.binance.com/zh-CN/download in your phone browser and tap "Android download"
When the browser warns "this type of file may harm your device", tap "Keep" or "Download anyway" — this is Android's standard prompt for APK files, and it's fine if the source is official
Once downloaded, tap the installer, grant "unknown sources" to the browser or file manager when prompted, then tap "Install"

The easiest way to decide: check whether "Google Play Store" is in your app list. If it is, use the store; if not, use the official APK. Both deliver the same official app with identical features — the only difference is updates: the store version updates automatically, the APK version manually¹.

iOS: download in three steps

iPhone users need to accept one fact first: the Binance app is not searchable in some regions' App Stores, due to regional regulation and listing policy². That's a policy difference, not a phone or network problem. Three steps:

Open the App Store and search Binance (or "Binance" in English)
Verify the developer is Binance Inc. — the official app has a 4.7+ rating and over 100M downloads
Tap "Get" to download. If your region's store doesn't show it, use a supported-region Apple ID, or jump via the iOS link on the official download page

After downloading, verify the developer is Binance Inc. — there are many lookalike apps in the App Store, and any other developer is not official.

Verify it's official: three signals

Check these three anchors before and after downloading — all three must hold:

Source: the installer came only from binance.com (served from download.binance.com), or the Google Play / App Store
Developer / package: on iOS the developer is Binance Inc.; on Android the package is com.binance.dev (as shown on the store page)¹²
Icon and features: the official app has Binance's signature yellow-black design and a full home screen with markets and trading; counterfeit apps are incomplete, poorly built, or force you to enter a referral code

⚠️ The "Binance download" and "Binance official site" links ranked high in search engines are often counterfeit sites. The safest practice is to type binance.com manually or open it from bookmarks — never click download links from search results.

Four common download problems

Problem 1: the official site won't open. Whether you can reach binance.com depends on your region's policies; understand and comply with local laws before deciding to use it. Whatever you do, don't fall back to a third-party APK site just because the official site won't open — that's exactly where fake packages thrive.

Problem 2: can't find it in the app store. This is a regional regulation difference. The harder the app is to find, the more cautious you should be — go straight to the official APK route and rely on the single binance.com entry point.

Problem 3: slow or stuck download. Usually network fluctuation reaching the official site. Try another browser (Chrome/Edge) or a different time; if it keeps failing, double-check the download domain is binance.com rather than switching to a "faster third-party site."

Problem 4: "virus detected" or "harmful" after downloading. For the official package this is Android's generic warning about non-store installs and doesn't affect use; but for an unknown package it's a real red flag — delete it. The only test is where you downloaded it from.

After you download: next steps

Once the app is installed, follow this order:

Register & verify: complete registration and KYC with the Binance registration guide. You can use CoinVado's referral code BINANBT at registration for fee rebates
Won't install / blocked: see the Binance Android download & install guide for per-brand settings paths and a symptom-by-symptom troubleshooting table
Start trading: once your account is ready, see the Binance spot trading guide

Transparency note: The registration links here are CoinVado referral links. Registering through them doesn't cost you anything extra; we may receive a platform rebate that helps keep the site running.

💰 No Binance account yet? Register Binance (referral code: BINANBT), and once you've registered and completed KYC, see the Binance first deposit guide.

FAQ

Q1: What is the official Binance download link? www.binance.com/zh-CN/download — make sure the domain is binance.com; never click any other domain.

Q2: Can't find Binance in my app store? It's a regional regulation difference. Use the official APK route and rely on the single binance.com entry point.

Q3: Does downloading cost anything or need a referral code? No — it's free and needs no code. Any download page asking for payment or a referral code is a red flag; the code is only entered at registration.

Q4: Should I worry about the "may harm your device" warning? For the official package, tap "Keep" and continue; for an unknown package, treat it as a real red flag and delete it.

Q5: How do I confirm it's genuine? Three anchors: source (binance.com / official store), developer (Binance Inc. / com.binance.dev), and icon & features (yellow-black design, full functions).
