The most common reason for not receiving notifications from the Binance app on iPhone is that notification permissions are not enabled or have been turned off. Solution: Open iPhone Settings → Notifications → find Binance → turn on "Allow Notifications", and ensure that the "Banners", "Sounds", "Badges" options are all turned on. If you selected "Don't Allow" notifications when opening the app for the first time, you must manually enable them in the system settings. After completing the system settings, you also need to enable the corresponding notification types within the Binance app: Open the app → profile icon in the top left corner → Notification Settings → enable options such as price alerts, trading notifications, and security reminders as needed. After correct configuration, notification delays are usually within 3-5 seconds. You can first visit the Binance official website to learn about the complete notification features. Notification settings for Android users are slightly different; after downloading the Android version via the Binance official app, refer to the Android specific tutorial.

Two Levels of Notification Permissions
iPhone app notifications are controlled by two levels, both of which must be enabled to receive notifications.
Level 1: iOS System Notification Permissions
This is the switch at the iPhone operating system level, controlling whether the app has permission to send any notifications. Path: Settings → Notifications → Binance.
Options to enable:
| Option | Recommended Setting | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Allow Notifications | Enabled | Master switch; if disabled, no notifications will be received |
| Lock Screen | Enabled | Show notifications on the lock screen |
| Notification Center | Enabled | Show in the Notification Center list |
| Banners | Enabled | Pop-up banner alerts at the top of the screen |
| Sounds | Enabled | Play an alert sound when a notification is received |
| Badges | Enabled | Show the number of unread messages on the top right corner of the app icon |
For the banner style, it is recommended to select "Persistent" rather than "Temporary". Persistent banners will stay at the top of the screen until you manually close them and won't automatically disappear after 5 seconds of inactivity, which is suitable for important price alert scenarios.
Level 2: Internal Notification Settings in the Binance App
Even if the iOS system permissions are enabled, there are independent notification switches within the Binance app. Path: Open Binance App → Profile icon in the top left corner → Settings → Notifications.
Notification types within the app:
- Price Alerts: Notifies when a set target price is triggered
- Price Change Reminders: Notifies when a specific coin fluctuates beyond the set threshold within 24 hours
- Trading Notifications: Trading-related notifications such as order executions and pending order expirations
- Security Reminders: Login alerts, withdrawal confirmations, and abnormal activity warnings
- Event Notifications: Information on Binance platform events, airdrops, new coin listings, etc.
- System Notifications: App updates, maintenance plans, etc.
It is recommended to enable at least "Price Alerts", "Trading Notifications", and "Security Reminders".
Setting Up Price Alerts
The price alert feature of the Binance app allows you to receive push notifications when a specific price is triggered, which is one of the most frequently used features by traders.
Creating a Price Alert
- Open the Binance app and go to the market page for a specific trading pair (e.g., BTC/USDT)
- Tap the alarm clock icon (or "Alert" button) on the page
- Set the target price, for example, "Remind when BTC reaches 75,000 USDT"
- Select the alert method: "Greater than" or "Less than" the target price
- Tap "Create"
You can set up to 10 price alerts for each trading pair. A maximum of 200 alerts can be created in total. When the price reaches the target value, the notification will be pushed to your iPhone within 3-5 seconds.
Percentage Change Reminders
In addition to fixed price reminders, you can also set percentage change reminders. For example: "Remind when BTC fluctuates by more than 3% within 1 hour". This feature is extremely useful during severe market volatility.
Setup path: Market page → Alerts → Price Change → Select time range (1 hour/4 hours/24 hours) → Set fluctuation threshold → Create.
Troubleshooting Steps for Not Receiving Notifications
If you have completed the settings for both levels above but still cannot receive notifications, follow these steps to troubleshoot one by one:
Step 1: Check Focus Mode
The iOS "Focus Mode" may be blocking Binance notifications. Settings → Focus → Check if there is currently an active Focus mode. If you are using "Do Not Disturb" or "Work" mode:
- Tap the currently active Focus mode
- Select "Allowed Notifications" → Apps → Add Binance
- This way, you can still receive Binance notifications even in Focus mode
Step 2: Check Scheduled Summary
The "Scheduled Summary" feature in iOS 15 and above may delay and batch Binance notifications. Settings → Notifications → Scheduled Summary → Check if Binance is included in the summary. If it is, remove Binance from the summary and change it to immediate delivery.
Step 3: Check Background App Refresh
Settings → General → Background App Refresh → Ensure the master switch is enabled → Ensure background refresh for Binance is enabled. Disabling background refresh may cause notification delays or losses.
Step 4: Check Low Power Mode
Low Power Mode limits background activity, which may affect notification pushes. Check if Settings → Battery → Low Power Mode is enabled. If enabled, turn off Low Power Mode when you need to receive notifications. In Low Power Mode, notification delays may increase from the normal 3-5 seconds to 30 seconds or even several minutes.
Step 5: Check Network Connection
Notification pushes require a network connection. Ensure Wi-Fi or cellular data is functioning normally. Settings → Cellular → Ensure the cellular data permission for Binance is enabled.
Step 6: Restart App and Device
- Force close the Binance app (swipe up to close)
- Wait for 5 seconds, then reopen it
- If it still doesn't work, restart your iPhone (hold power button + volume button for 3 seconds → slide to power off → turn on again)
After restarting, the notification service will re-establish a connection with Apple Push Notification service (APNs), which usually solves most push problems.
Notification Category Management
Notification Grouping in iOS 18
The iOS 18 system has intelligently grouped notifications. Binance notifications will be automatically grouped by category:
- Price alert notifications are grouped together
- Trade confirmation notifications are grouped together
- Security reminders are grouped together
You can tap on a notification group in the Notification Center to expand and view the details.
Custom Notification Sounds
Currently, the Binance app uses the system default notification sound. If you want to distinguish Binance notifications from other app notifications, you can set different sounds for different notification priorities in the iOS settings. High-priority security reminder notifications will use more prominent alert sounds.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if Binance notifications are delayed?
Normal latency is within 3-5 seconds. If the delay exceeds 30 seconds, sequentially check: whether the network connection is normal, whether Low Power Mode is enabled, and whether Background App Refresh is turned on. If all of the above are normal, try turning off the notification permission and then turning it back on to let the system re-register the push token.
What if there are too many annoying notifications?
Turn off unnecessary notification types in the notification management within the Binance app. For example, if you do not need event promotion notifications, just keep "Security Reminders" and "Trading Notifications". You can also change the banner style for Binance to "Temporary" in iOS notification settings, so the notifications will automatically disappear after 5 seconds.
Do I need to reconfigure notification settings after switching to a new iPhone?
If you use iCloud backup to restore to a new iPhone, system-level notification permission settings will automatically migrate. However, the notification preferences within the Binance app are stored in your cloud account and will automatically sync after you log in to the same Binance account.
What should I do if I receive a suspicious Binance notification?
If you receive a notification asking you to click a link, enter a password, or provide a verification code, this could be a phishing attack. Genuine Binance notifications will not ask you to enter any sensitive information within the notification. Simply ignore suspicious notifications and check your account security status directly within the Binance app.
