For users in China who wish to use the Binance mobile services, there may be times when accessing the official website is difficult or the app installation is obstructed. This is usually related to network blocking settings. This guide will provide a clear and secure process to help you successfully obtain and install the Binance app and resolve common access issues.
Detailed installation steps for Android devices
Enable "Unknown Sources" installation permission (key step):
Before attempting to install, be sure to go to your phone's Settings > Security (or Privacy) > Special app access (or similar option) > Install unknown apps.
Find the browser you will be using (such as Chrome, Edge, etc.) and allow it to install apps from unknown sources. This is a necessary prerequisite for installing APKs from unofficial stores.
Obtain the installation package through official channels:
Click to enter the Binance official website
On the official website page, look for clear buttons such as "Mobile App," "Download APP," or "Download for Android."
Click the download link to obtain the official APK installation file.
Execute the installation:
After the download is complete, you can usually find the APK file in the browser's download list or the phone's notification bar.
Click the file to start the installation. The system may prompt a risk warning again; confirm that you have allowed this browser to install unknown apps, and then continue to complete the installation.
Once installed, you can find the Binance app icon in your phone's app list.
Encountering issues accessing the official website? Six troubleshooting solutions
If you cannot smoothly open the Binance official website for downloading or registration, please try the following methods in order:
Basic network checks:
Switch network sources: Try switching between mobile data (4G/5G) and different Wi-Fi networks to see if one of the networks has restrictions.
Restart the device: A simple restart of the phone can sometimes resolve temporary network cache issues.
Clear browser cache: Go to browser settings (e.g., Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data), select to clear "cached" files (keeping passwords and bookmarks is optional).
Optimize DNS settings:
Sometimes the default DNS resolution may be unstable. Try modifying the DNS server address:
Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS: 1.1.1.1
Setting path (Android): Settings > Network and internet > Advanced (or similar) > Private DNS. Select "Private DNS provider hostname," and enter dns.google (for 8.8.8.8) or one.one.one.one (for 1.1.1.1). Save and retry accessing the Binance official website.
Change access tools:
Try different browsers: If your usual browser doesn't work, try using Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Brave.
Use incognito/private mode: Open an incognito (private) window in the browser to access the official website, eliminating interference from browser extensions or plugins.
Check for network depth restrictions:
Some corporate or campus networks may have strict limitations; try accessing from another network environment (such as a home network).
If you still cannot access it, and other foreign websites are also unreachable, you may need to contact your internet service provider for consultation or find out if specific ports (such as 443) are restricted.
Key points for account registration and security verification
Registration information: Use a valid email address or phone number, and set a strong password that includes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols.
Identity verification (KYC): To ensure account security and compliance, completing identity verification is necessary. This usually includes:
Uploading clear and valid identification documents (such as ID cards) with photos of both sides.
Conducting facial recognition live verification.
Importance of completing verification: Only after successfully passing KYC verification can you unlock full trading, deposit, withdrawal, and other functions, and enhance account security levels. It is strongly recommended to enable two-factor authentication (2FA).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: The installation prompts "dangerous app" or "installation blocked"?
A1: This is a standard security reminder from the Android system for apps from unofficial store sources. Please confirm that you have enabled the "Install unknown apps" permission for this browser in the settings as per the first step of this guide. If a warning appears during installation, after confirming the source is the Binance official website, you can choose "Install anyway" or "Continue."
Q2: What if I have tried all methods and still cannot open the official website?
A2: Please follow these steps for deeper troubleshooting:
Confirm whether other commonly used websites (especially international ones) can be accessed normally to determine if it is a widespread network issue.
Try step 3 (changing browsers/incognito mode).
Confirm whether the DNS settings (step 2) have been correctly applied and are effective.
Retry at different times; peak network hours may affect connections.
If only a specific network (such as company Wi-Fi) does not work, that network may have strict restrictions.
Q3: I am not receiving the SMS verification code during registration?
A3:
Check the phone's SMS interception feature (spam folder); the verification code message may have been misclassified.
Ensure the phone signal is good.
Try using email verification as an alternative.
If registering with an overseas phone number, make sure to add the correct country/region code in front (e.g., for mainland China, it is +86).
Key reminders for secure transactions
Device security: Keep your phone's operating system and the Binance app updated to the latest version and install security patches promptly. In app permission management, disable unnecessary permissions for the Binance app (such as location, contacts, SMS, etc.).
Network environment: Absolutely avoid logging in or conducting transactions over public or untrusted Wi-Fi networks. Preferably use mobile data networks or trusted home/private encrypted Wi-Fi.

By following the steps in this guide, domestic Android users can effectively resolve common barriers to accessing the Binance official website and installing the official app. The key is to correctly enable installation permissions, ensure downloading from the official website, reasonably configure network DNS, and always maintain a high level of account security awareness.
