Binance officially offers four types of clients: iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac. Download channels are scattered across the App Store, the official site, PWA installs, and more, so new users often struggle to find the right path. This article walks through the latest download methods and signature verification steps as of April 2026. The safest route is to go through the Binance Official Site and follow its link to the download page, or grab the Official Binance App directly. iPhone users should also check our iOS install guide.
Package sizes vary quite a bit across platforms. The table below shows the mainstream builds as of April 2026.
| Platform | Version | Install package | Minimum system |
|---|---|---|---|
| iOS | 2.91.x | 320-380 MB | iOS 13.0 |
| Android APK | 2.92.x | 100-150 MB | Android 6.0 |
| Android Google Play | 2.92.x | 105 MB | Android 7.0 |
| Windows | 2.40.x | 180 MB | Windows 10 |
| Mac (Intel) | 2.40.x | 195 MB | macOS 11 |
| Mac (Apple Silicon) | 2.40.x | 175 MB | macOS 11 |
| PWA web app | Live | 0 | Any |
The iOS build is noticeably larger than Android's because Apple requires apps to bundle assets for multiple screen resolutions.
Open the App Store and search "Binance." The developer must show as "Binance Inc."
An App Store account region set to mainland China won't find it by default. You'll need to switch to a non-mainland-China Apple ID — Hong Kong, Singapore, the US, or Taiwan all work. After switching, reopen the App Store and it will appear.
Binance occasionally invites a small pool of testers to try new features through TestFlight. TestFlight builds can be unstable. Regular users should stick with the stable release.
In some regions, Binance has previously distributed signed IPA files through enterprise certificates. These builds can stop launching if the certificate gets revoked. Regular users should prioritize the App Store channel instead.
For the full walkthrough on switching Apple IDs, see our iOS install guide.
Go to binance.com/en/download, find the "Android" button, and tap to download the APK.
After downloading, your system will likely show an "Unknown source" warning. Under "Settings - Apps - Special access - Install unknown apps," allow your browser or file manager to install apps.
Open the Google Play Store and search "Binance." The developer should show as "Binance."
Android devices without Google Play preinstalled need to install GMS (Google Mobile Services) first and sign in with a non-mainland-China Google account.
Third-party mirror sites host historical versions of the APK, useful for rolling back. Always verify the signature (see below) to avoid downloading a tampered copy.
None of the domestic Chinese app stores carry the Binance app. Android phones sold in mainland China need to go through the APK route.
Go to binance.com/en/download, choose "Windows," and download BinanceDesktop_Setup.exe. The install package is about 180 MB.
Antivirus software may flag it during installation. The Binance desktop client is built on Electron, and some antivirus tools are sensitive to Electron-based apps. You can add "Binance" to your antivirus whitelist.
Download the DMG installer, double-click to mount it, then drag the Binance icon into your Applications folder.
On first launch, macOS may show "Developer cannot be verified." Go to "System Settings - Privacy & Security - Allow apps downloaded from" and approve it to launch normally.
Binance doesn't officially offer a Linux desktop client. Linux users can use the PWA (Progressive Web App) as an alternative.
Both iOS and Android users can "install" the Binance web app as a PWA.
Open binance.com in Safari, tap the share button at the bottom, and choose "Add to Home Screen." An app-like icon appears on your home screen, launching into a fullscreen web app.
Open the Binance website in Chrome, tap the menu in the top-right corner, and choose "Install app." This creates an icon on your home screen.
The PWA is only a few MB in size, but it's a bit less capable than the native app — for example, it can't receive push notifications or access your camera for KYC.
After downloading the install package, it's worth verifying the signature to confirm it hasn't been tampered with.
iOS apps are signed and distributed through Apple's official channels, so downloads from the App Store can be trusted by default. For enterprise-certificate builds, you can check the certificate issuer under "Settings - General - VPN & Device Management" — it must show "Binance Inc."
After downloading the APK, verify it with the apksigner tool:
apksigner verify --print-certs Binance.apk
The output should include:
Binance doesn't publish a public "fingerprint list," but the APK must be signed by the "Binance" developer — a tampered copy will show a different signer.
Right-click BinanceDesktop_Setup.exe, go to "Properties - Digital Signatures," and confirm the signer shows as "Binance Holdings Limited."
Run this in Terminal:
codesign -dv --verbose=4 /Applications/Binance.app
The output's Authority field should include "Developer ID Application: Binance."
| Region | iOS | Android | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mainland China | Switch to a non-mainland Apple ID | Use the APK | No domestic app store carries it |
| Hong Kong | Direct App Store download | Google Play | Works fine with a normal connection |
| Taiwan | Direct App Store download | Google Play | Works fine with a normal connection |
| United States | binance.us version | binance.us version | Operates independently from the global platform |
| Japan | Direct App Store download | Google Play | Japanese-language version |
| India | Direct App Store download | Google Play | Integrated with Indian Rupee |
| UAE | Direct App Store download | Google Play | Localized for the Middle East |
99% of the time, it's because your Apple ID region is set to mainland China. Switching to a Hong Kong or US Apple ID makes it visible immediately.
Either the APK is corrupted or your Android version is too old. Redownload it, or check whether your system is Android 6.0 or higher.
The Binance desktop client is built on Electron. Some antivirus software misidentifies it as a threat. Adding Binance.exe to your whitelist resolves it.
This comes from Gatekeeper's security policy. Run this in Terminal:
xattr -cr /Applications/Binance.app
Clearing the extended attribute and relaunching the app fixes it.
Fake apps commonly disguise themselves with:
Always check the developer name before downloading. Even if the icon and app name look identical, the wrong developer name means it's fake.
Q: Which platform's Binance app is more stable? The iOS version tends to be the most stable, while the Android APK version gets new features fastest. New features typically roll out on Android 1-2 weeks before reaching iOS.
Q: Can I be logged in on multiple devices at once? Yes. A single account supports up to 5 devices online simultaneously; once that limit is exceeded, the oldest session is automatically logged out.
Q: Does an app upgrade affect my account login? No. Upgrades preserve your login session. In rare cases, a major version upgrade may require you to re-enter your password.
Q: Should I sign up first or download the app first? Either order works. The Official Binance App has registration built in, so users without an account can sign up directly inside the app.
Q: Does the Windows client have the same features as the web version? The Windows client wraps the web version using Electron, and the two are about 95% feature-identical. The native client places orders slightly faster since it skips a layer of browser overhead.
Q: On iOS, is the PWA or the native app better? The native app has more complete functionality, while the PWA saves storage space. If you're just checking prices, the PWA is plenty — for futures or P2P trading, use the native app.
