For iPhone users wanting to install the Binance app, the biggest hurdle is that some regional App Stores don't carry it. The solution is simple: register an overseas Apple ID. The entire process is free and takes about ten minutes.
After installing the app, you can sign up for Binance directly on your phone. If you're an Android user, skip the Apple ID hassle and just download the Binance app directly.
Steps to Register an Overseas Apple ID
Go to Apple's website at appleid.apple.com and click "Create Apple ID." Prepare an email that hasn't been used for an Apple ID before.
When filling in registration info, select "United States" or "Hong Kong" as the country/region. The US region has the most apps, so it's recommended. Name can be anything, and you can use your existing phone number.
After setting a password and security questions, submit. Apple will send a verification code to your email — enter it and registration is complete.
Log In and Download Binance
After registering, open the App Store on your iPhone. Tap the profile icon in the top right, scroll to the bottom and tap "Sign Out," then sign in with your new overseas Apple ID.
On first login, the system will ask you to confirm account details. For payment method, select "None." For billing address, you can enter any US address.
After confirmation, search "Binance" in the App Store and you'll see the official app. Tap to download and install.
A Few Important Details
After downloading the Binance app, remember to switch back to your regular Apple ID. You'll need your local ID for other apps and services. Only switch to the overseas ID when updating the Binance app.
Don't switch IDs in "Settings > Apple ID" — that would affect iCloud data. Only switch within the App Store — these are two independent login locations that don't affect each other.
If switching back and forth is too tedious, there's another option: use Binance's mobile web version in Safari. The web version is well-optimized for mobile browsers, with all core features available.
Common Questions
Some people ask: Is it safe to use an app downloaded with an overseas Apple ID? Absolutely — the Binance app on the App Store is the official release version, identical to what you'd get in any other region.
Others ask: What about future updates? Each time Binance has a new version, switch to your overseas ID and update in the App Store. Alternatively, enable auto-updates, though this requires keeping the overseas ID signed in.
