Binance releases new app versions periodically with bug fixes, new features, and performance improvements. Keeping the app up to date not only provides a better experience but is also more secure. However, many people don't know how to update or can't get updates working. Here's a rundown for every platform. New users can sign up for Binance first, then download the Binance app to install the latest version.
Android Update Methods
Android users have several ways to update the Binance app.
First: Download the latest APK from the Binance website. Open your phone browser, visit the Binance website, find the app download link, and install over the existing version. You may get a prompt about installing from unknown sources — just allow it. Overlay installation won't affect your login state or account data.
Second: Update through the Google Play Store. If you installed from the Play Store, open it, search for Binance, and if an update is available, you'll see an "Update" button. You can also check "My Apps" for all pending updates.
Third: In-app auto-detection. Some Binance app versions automatically check for updates on launch and prompt you if one is available.
iOS Update Methods
iOS users primarily update through the App Store. Open the App Store, tap your profile icon in the top right, pull down to refresh the available updates list, find Binance, and tap Update.
If your regional App Store doesn't have Binance, you may need to switch to another region's Apple ID to download and update.
TestFlight Versions
Binance sometimes distributes beta versions through Apple TestFlight. If you installed via TestFlight, updates must also be done through TestFlight. Open the TestFlight app, find Binance, and tap Update.
TestFlight versions expire after 90 days. If your TestFlight Binance has expired, you'll need to get a new invitation link or switch to the official App Store version.
Do I Need to Log In Again After Updating
In most cases, overlay updates preserve your login state. However, some major version updates may clear the login session. Always make sure you remember your credentials and security verification methods before updating.
If you use biometric login (fingerprint or face), you may need to set it up again after updating.
How to Enable Auto-Updates
Android users can enable auto-updates in Play Store settings so new versions download and install automatically. However, APK installations don't have auto-update — you'll need to check manually.
iOS users can go to phone Settings > App Store and enable the "App Updates" auto-download toggle.
How to Check Your Current Version
In the Binance app, tap your profile or menu icon and find "About" or "Settings" — your current version number will be displayed. Compare it with the latest version shown on the Binance website to confirm you're up to date.
Summary
Android users are best served by downloading the APK from the official website — simple and direct. iOS users update through the App Store, or use an overseas Apple ID if it's not available in their region. Keeping the app on the latest version ensures the best user experience and security.
