In the cryptocurrency field, security is always the top priority. As a leading global digital asset trading platform, Binance processes millions of transactions every day, but at the same time, counterfeit websites and malicious apps are rampant. New users who accidentally enter phishing websites or download pirated apps may face personal information leaks or even asset losses. Therefore, mastering how to accurately find the official Binance website and safely download the official app is a must for every cryptocurrency investor.

This article will detail how to safely access the Binance official website and download the official app through the following steps, along with key precautions to help you avoid potential risks.
Download directly from the official homepage (recommended)
In your computer or mobile browser, manually enter the official domain name and confirm that you are visiting the real website.
Where is the official Binance website? How to download the Binance app from the official site?
Locate the download entrance:
Top navigation bar: Usually, there will be a prominent "Download App" or similar button at the very top of the page.
Middle/bottom of the homepage: Scrolling down the page, you can often find a banner or area specifically guiding you to download the app.
Footer link: There is usually an "APP Download" link at the very bottom of the page.
Scroll down, and you will find "Download."
Here you will see the local download for Android and the download method for Apple. You can use this method to download.
For Android users to install:
Click the "Android" or "APK Download" button.
The browser will download the Binance app installation package (APK file).
Important security step: After downloading, before installation, it is strongly recommended to verify that the APK file's digital signature is from Binance. For most users, at least ensure that the file name is similar to Binance_vx.x.x.apk (x.x.x is the version number) and that it is downloaded directly from the official site.
Of course, I recommend that you register an account on the Binance official website before downloading.
Here you need to enter your email or phone number; it is recommended to use an overseas Outlook email or Gmail. I will demonstrate the registration using an email. Enter the email, check the service terms, and click [Next].
It will send a 6-digit verification code to our email, which we will find and fill in here.
After entering, it will prompt us to create a password. The requirements are at least 8 characters, at least one number, and at least one uppercase letter. Let's set it and then click [Next].
At this moment, it will tell you "Welcome aboard" and ask you "Do you have an inviter ID?" We click the first "Yes," then fill in my invitation code XZLST5T9. Using this invitation code during trading can reduce fees. Then click [Next]. At this point, our account is already registered.
After registration, I will demonstrate how to download and install the Binance app on an iPhone.
iPhone users need to have an overseas Apple ID, and the best IDs are from regions like Singapore or Australia. For example, you can search for "Taiwan Apple" on Taobao and choose any store to purchase.
Then select the Hong Kong region.
After purchasing, open your App Store, click the small person icon in the upper right corner, and click [Sign Out].
After signing out, log in again in the App Store. Once logged in, we directly search for "Binance," then select the second "Get" button to download and install. This is the download method for the Binance iOS version.
Note regional restrictions: Some regions' Apple IDs may not be able to directly search for the Binance app in the App Store. At this time:
The official website usually provides a way to install the beta version using Apple TestFlight (the official download page will have clear instructions and TestFlight links).
Alternatively, you may need to switch to an Apple ID from a region that supports the Binance app to log in to the App Store (compliance operations are required).
Next, I will demonstrate how to install the Binance app on an Android phone, especially involving offline installation. We still click on the Binance official website.
Once inside, we also click the three horizontal lines in the upper right corner.
Then click "Download."
You will see the Android download; we click it.
It may prompt you that this file is harmful; you can ignore it and click download directly.
After downloading, we click to open, select "Allow this installation."
Some models may warn you that this is a risky software; you can ignore it and skip directly.
Now our Android version of the app is installed, and the operation method is also very simple. Friends who have not registered to download the Binance app can follow my process to operate.
Key security settings after installation
Successfully installing the official app is just the first step; it is crucial to immediately set the following security measures:
Enable two-factor authentication:
Fund password: Set a strong fund password different from the login password for withdrawals and key operations.
Mobile verification code: Bind a secure mobile number.
Google Authenticator/Authenticator app: This is the core security barrier! Bind the Google Authenticator or Binance Authenticator app in the app's "Security" settings. Even if someone knows your password and mobile number, they cannot log in or withdraw without the dynamically generated 6-digit verification code from your device. Be sure to back up the recovery key offline; it can be backed up in an electronic privacy text!
Key security settings after installation
Set up a phishing code: Enable the phishing code in the account security settings. This way, all emails sent to you by Binance will contain this unique code of yours; any email without this code or with an incorrect code is definitely a phishing email.
Manage device authorization: Regularly check "Device Management" or "Logged-in Devices" in the app's "Security" settings. Remove all device authorizations that you do not recognize, no longer use, or are suspicious. Only keep the devices you are currently using.
Be wary of all unknown information: Binance will never ask for your password, verification code, mnemonic phrase, or request you to transfer funds through phone calls, text messages, WeChat, Telegram, etc. Anyone claiming to be "Binance customer service" who actively contacts you is a scammer.
Summary
Identify the official website (follow official guidance) and manually enter the access.
Only download from the official website: Whether it's the Android APK or iOS App Store link, the official website is the only trusted source. Be wary of QR code sources.
Special attention for Android: After downloading the APK, check the source and be cautious about authorizing "unknown source" installations.
Special attention for iOS: Recognize the official developer name, pay attention to regional restrictions, and prioritize using the official TestFlight link (if provided).
The three-piece security setup: Immediately enable the authenticator, set up the phishing code, and manage device authorization.
Stay vigilant: Do not click on unknown links, do not trust unsolicited private messages, and do not disclose passwords, verification codes, or mnemonic phrases.
