Binance ships 1-2 updates per month. New releases usually bring new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements. This article covers update methods for iOS, Android, and the desktop clients, plus how to roll back to an older version if something goes wrong. You can confirm account-level sync through the Binance Official Site; the mobile update steps below apply to the Official Binance App. iPhone users should also check our iOS install guide.

1. Binance's Release Cadence

Binance releases updates using a "major.minor.patch" format. Take 2.92.7, for example:

Binance notifies users of important new releases through an in-app "launch announcement." Major feature launches (like new futures products) are often accompanied by a minor version bump.

2. Forced vs. Optional Updates

Update type Trigger condition Can the prompt be dismissed?
Forced update API incompatibility or a critical security flaw No
Recommended update New features plus fixes Yes, but it reappears weekly
Optional update Fixes or optimizations only Yes, permanently

For forced updates, the prompt keeps reappearing until you tap "Update Now," and the app becomes unusable in the meantime. Binance ships roughly 1-2 forced updates per year.

3. Updating on iOS

Method one: through the App Store

Step one: open the App Store

Launch the App Store app.

Step two: go to your account

Tap the circular profile icon in the top-right corner.

Step three: scroll to "Upcoming Automatic Updates"

Scroll through the list of pending app updates. If a new Binance version is available, it will appear here.

Step four: tap "Update"

To update only Binance, tap the "Update" button next to it, or tap "Update All" to update everything at once.

Method two: through the in-app prompt

When you open the Binance app and it detects a new version, a "Update Now" banner appears at the top of the home screen. Tapping it jumps straight to the app's App Store page.

Method three: enable automatic updates

Turn this on under "Settings - App Store - App Updates." Once enabled, all your apps update automatically over WiFi with no manual action needed.

An important prerequisite

Updating the Binance app requires being signed into the same Apple ID you used to originally download it. If you've switched Apple IDs and forgot which one you used, you'll see an "Unable to Update" message.

Ways to fix this:

  1. Switch your App Store sign-in back to the Apple ID you originally downloaded with
  2. Delete the Binance app and redownload it fresh with your current Apple ID

4. Updating on Android

Method one: through Google Play

Open the Google Play Store, search "Binance," or find it under "Manage apps." If an update is available, an "Update" button will appear.

Method two: the app's built-in self-update

The Binance APK includes its own update module. Every time you launch the app, it checks the version number, and if a new one is available, it shows an "Update Now" popup.

Step one: the popup appears

The popup shows the new version's features and version number. Tap "Update Now."

Step two: the new APK downloads

The client downloads the full APK from binance.com — about 100-150 MB.

Step three: install the new version

Once the download finishes, your system jumps to the install screen. After allowing the "unknown sources" permission, tap "Install."

Step four: the update completes

The app automatically restarts once installed. Your login session is preserved — no need to sign back in.

Method three: manually overwrite by installing a downloaded APK

If the in-app self-update fails, you can manually download the latest APK from binance.com/en/download and install it over the existing app.

The new APK has the same signature as the old one, so it can be installed directly on top of it. All local data is fully preserved.

5. Updating the Desktop Clients

Windows automatic updates

The Windows desktop client checks its version on launch. If a new version is found, a green "New version available" prompt appears in the top-right corner.

Step one: tap the prompt

Tap "Update Now" in the top-right corner.

Step two: the client downloads it

The client downloads the new version's installer in the background. Once done, a "Restart to complete update" popup appears.

Step three: restart the client

Tap "Restart Now." The client closes and automatically relaunches on the new version. The whole process takes 1-2 minutes.

Mac automatic updates

Works similarly to Windows. On launch, the client checks for updates, shows a prompt, downloads the new DMG automatically, and prompts a restart.

Manually downloading an update

If the automatic update fails, you can redownload the installer from binance.com/en/download and install it over the existing version. The Windows installer automatically detects and upgrades the old version — no need to uninstall first.

6. Rolling Back to an Older Version

Rolling back on iOS

Apple doesn't support rolling back an installed app to an older version. If a new version has a serious bug, your only options are:

  1. Wait for Binance to ship a fixed version (usually within 1-7 days)
  2. Delete the app and use a tool like iTools to sideload a backed-up older IPA (requires technical know-how)

Rolling back on Android

Android offers more flexibility than iOS. To roll back:

Step one: find an older version's APK

APKMirror hosts historical versions of the Binance app, so you can download whichever version you need.

Step two: uninstall the current version

"Settings - Apps - Binance - Uninstall." This clears local cache but doesn't affect your account.

Step three: install the older APK

After allowing "unknown sources," install the older APK. The rollback is complete.

Step four: disable auto-updates

Turn off "Settings - Auto Check for Updates" inside the Binance app, otherwise it will keep prompting you to update on launch.

Rolling back the desktop clients

The desktop clients have no built-in rollback mechanism. You can find an older installer on a third-party mirror site like APKMirror, uninstall the current version, then install the older one.

7. Handling Update Failures

Failure one: iOS shows "Cannot connect to App Store"

A network issue. Try switching between WiFi and 4G/5G. If it keeps failing, sign out of your App Store account and sign back in.

Failure two: Android self-update interrupted midway

Common causes for interruptions:

Fix: wait 5 minutes and relaunch the app — it will retry automatically. If it keeps failing, download the APK manually from binance.com.

Failure three: in-app "Update failed, try again later"

A temporary Binance server issue. It usually resolves itself within 5-10 minutes.

Failure four: app won't launch after updating

The new version is incompatible with your system. Options:

  1. Wait for Binance to ship a fixed version
  2. Roll back to the previous stable version
  3. Update your iOS or Android system

8. Update Recommendations by Use Case

Scenario one: everyday use (regular users)

Turn on automatic updates and don't worry about version numbers. The Binance app updates itself over WiFi almost invisibly.

Scenario two: active traders (placing orders daily)

Don't enable automatic updates. Wait until the community confirms a new version is stable before upgrading, to avoid new-version bugs disrupting your trading.

Scenario three: quant users (relying on the API)

Only update the app when the API updates. The Binance Official Site's API documentation flags every change, and strategies relying on that API should be tested before upgrading.

Scenario four: long-term monitoring (watching open futures positions)

Screenshot your current position details before updating. Right after updating, immediately double-check that your positions and open orders are all intact.

9. Version Compatibility

10. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I lose my asset data after updating the app? No. Your assets are stored on Binance's servers and have nothing to do with the app itself. You'll see the same balances no matter which client you log in from.

Q: Will my watchlist still be there after an update? Yes. Your watchlist is saved to your account, not stored locally.

Q: Does updating reset my KYC status? No. KYC is an account-level attribute and has nothing to do with the app version.

Q: Can I still use the app if an update fails? It depends on whether it's a forced update. If a forced update fails, the app becomes unusable. If an optional update fails, you can keep using the older version.

Q: How do I check my current app version? Go to Binance app - Me - Settings - About. The version number is shown at the bottom.

Q: Do updates cost anything from my account balance? No. All Binance app updates are free. Any "Binance app" that asks you to pay to update is a fake.
