Installation steps: switch to a US or HK Apple ID in "Settings → Apple ID → Media & Purchases", open the App Store, search for "Binance", and click download. The whole process takes 3 minutes.

Detailed Installation Steps
Step 1: Prepare an Overseas Apple ID
If you don't have a US or HK Apple ID yet, open appleid.apple.com in your browser to register one. Select "United States" or "Hong Kong" for the country, use an unregistered email address and a +86 phone number, and complete the registration in 5 minutes. For registration details, you can refer to our special article.
Step 2: Switch App Store Account
Open "Settings" → click your name at the top → "Media & Purchases" → "Sign Out". Note that you should only sign out of "Media & Purchases" and not iCloud. After signing out, click "Media & Purchases" again → enter your overseas Apple ID email and password to log in. The entire switching process takes about 15 seconds.
Step 3: Download the Binance App
Open the App Store, search for "Binance", and find the official app from the developer "Binance Inc.". Click "GET" to download. The download speed is very fast on the iPhone 15/16 series under a 5G network; the 198MB app usually takes 15-25 seconds to finish downloading. Speeds are similar in a Wi-Fi 6/6E environment.
Step 4: Switch Back to China Region Account
After the download is complete, return to settings and follow the same steps to switch "Media & Purchases" back to your China region Apple ID. The installed Binance app will not be affected.
Step 5: First Launch Setup
Click the Binance icon on your desktop to open the app and complete the following initial setups:
- Allow notification pushes
- Enable Face ID login (Settings → Biometrics → Enable)
- Select interface language (Simplified Chinese supported)
- Log in or register a Binance account
Using Dynamic Island with Binance
Real-Time Market Display
The Dynamic Island on the iPhone 15/16 series supports the Live Activities feature of the Binance app. How to enable: enter the market page of a trading pair in the Binance app → click the "Live Track" button → price change information will be displayed on the Dynamic Island.
The information displayed on the Dynamic Island includes:
- Current price
- 24-hour price change percentage
- Price change direction arrow
Even if you switch to other apps or are on the lock screen, the Dynamic Island will still update the price data in real time. The data refresh frequency is once every 3 seconds, with a delay of about 1-2 seconds.
Lock Screen Live Activities
Systems above iOS 16 support lock screen Live Activities. After enabling market tracking in the Binance app, a real-time market card will be displayed at the bottom of the lock screen interface. You can view the latest price by simply raising your hand, without needing to unlock the phone. This is very convenient when frequently checking the market, saving the steps of unlocking and opening the app every time.
Performance Advantages of iPhone 15/16
Chart Rendering
The GPU performance of the A17 Pro and A18 series chips is extremely powerful. When viewing the 1-minute candlestick chart (loading over 500 candlestick data points) in the Binance app, zooming and swiping operations are completely smooth, with the frame rate stable at 60fps. In contrast, older iPhone 11/12 models may experience slight stuttering when loading massive amounts of candlestick data.
Always-On Display
The iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max support Always-On Display. While the screen is off, the Binance Live Activity card on the lock screen remains visible, allowing you to glance at the current price at any time without touching your phone. The screen refresh rate drops to 1Hz in always-on mode, adding only about 1-2%/hour to battery consumption.
ProMotion Adaptive Refresh Rate
The iPhone 15 Pro series and all iPhone 16 series support ProMotion display technology up to 120Hz. When scrolling through the trade list or switching chart periods in the Binance app, the 120Hz refresh rate makes interface transitions silkier, and operation response latency is reduced to about 8ms.
Practical Scenarios for USB-C
The entire iPhone 15/16 series uses USB-C ports, which have the following benefits in Binance usage scenarios:
Fast Charging During Trading
USB-C supports up to 27W charging power (iPhone 15 Pro Max/16 Pro Max), taking about 30 minutes to charge from 0 to 50%. You don't have to worry about battery issues during long periods of market monitoring and trading; a single USB-C cable allows you to charge while operating.
Data Backup
Connecting to a computer via USB-C allows for faster backup of iPhone data. USB-C transfer speeds: USB 2.0 (480Mbps) for iPhone 15, and USB 3.0 (up to 10Gbps) for the iPhone 15 Pro/16 series. The backup includes app data, and after restoring the backup, the login status and settings of the Binance app can be preserved.
Action Button Customization
The iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max and all iPhone 16 series are equipped with an Action Button, which can be customized to quickly launch the Binance app:
- Settings → Action Button
- Select "Shortcut"
- Create a shortcut: Open Binance App
- Bind this shortcut to the Action Button
Once set up, long-pressing the Action Button will directly open the Binance app, saving the time of looking for the icon on the home screen. From pressing the button to the app launching, the cold start time on the iPhone 16 Pro is about 0.8 seconds, and the hot start is about 0.3 seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to jailbreak my iPhone 15/16 to install Binance?
Absolutely not. Downloading from the App Store by switching your Apple ID is a standard feature officially supported by Apple and does not involve any jailbreaking or cracking operations. There are currently no public jailbreak tools for iOS 17 and iOS 18 systems either.
Does installation affect the warranty?
No, it does not. Downloading any application through the App Store does not affect your iPhone's warranty. The Binance app is a legitimate application that has been reviewed by Apple on the App Store; its installation and use are completely compliant.
Can the Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 be used with Binance?
The Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 series is currently mainly used for camera functions. If the Binance app updates to support it in the future, it might add features like quick QR code scanning via this button. For now, it is recommended to use the Action Button to quickly launch Binance.
Are the new features of iOS 18 helpful for Binance?
iOS 18 introduced home screen customization features; you can change the Binance app icon to a dark mode style or place it anywhere on the home screen. In addition, iOS 18 improved the notification grouping feature, so various Binance notifications (price alerts, trade confirmations, security reminders) will be displayed in categories, making them clearer and more organized.
