The Binance App releases a version update approximately every 2-4 weeks, covering security patches, new coin listings, futures product adjustments, and UI experience optimizations. Keeping your App up to date is crucial—older versions might have known vulnerabilities or fail to load market data for newly listed coins. This article clearly explains the update methods for iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. We recommend bookmarking the Binance Official Site as your gateway to the latest versions. Mobile users can directly scan the QR code there to download the Binance Official App, while Apple users can refer to the iOS Installation Tutorial.

How to Update on iOS (iPhone)
Method 1: Manual Update via App Store
- Open the App Store on your iPhone.
- Tap your Avatar in the top right corner.
- Pull down to refresh the page.
- Locate "Binance".
- If an update is available, tap "Update".
- Authenticate with Face ID / Touch ID to begin downloading.
- It takes about 1-2 minutes to complete.
Method 2: Automatic Update
Go to your iPhone's "Settings → App Store → Automatic Downloads → App Updates" and turn it on. Once enabled, the system will automatically update all apps, including Binance, when connected to Wi-Fi and charging. Highly recommended.
Prerequisite
The Apple ID currently logged in must be from an overseas region (such as Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, etc.). If you accidentally switch back to a mainland China Apple ID during an update, the Binance App will disappear from the App Store and cannot be updated. You must switch back to an overseas Apple ID to see the update option.
How to Update on Android
Method 1: Check for Updates In-App
- Open the Binance App.
- Tap the "Profile" tab at the bottom.
- Scroll all the way down.
- Tap "Check for Updates".
- If a new version is available, a prompt will pop up highlighting the new version number and update details.
- Tap "Update Now" to start downloading.
Method 2: Re-download from the Official Site
- Visit binance.com/download using your browser.
- Tap "Android APK Download".
- After downloading, directly tap the APK file.
- The system will recognize it as an upgrade (because the package name and signature are identical).
- Tap "Update".
- Open the App after installation; your login status will be preserved.
Method 3: Update via Google Play (If using the Play Store version)
Binance is only available on the Play Store in certain overseas regions. If your Android phone has Google Play Services and you are in a supported region:
- Open the Play Store.
- Tap your avatar in the top right → "Manage apps and device".
- Go to "Updates available" → Find Binance.
- Tap "Update".
Users in mainland China cannot update via the Play Store and must use Method 1 or Method 2.
Android Auto-Update Tip
The APK version does not have the automatic update mechanism of an App Store. However, the Binance App will check the server version upon launch and automatically show a pop-up prompt if there is a new version. As long as you are logged in and have granted notification permissions, you generally won't miss an update.
How to Update on Windows Desktop
Method 1: In-App Automatic Update
- Open the Binance Windows client.
- If a new version is available, a small red dot will appear in the top right corner.
- Click the top right menu → "About".
- You will see a "New version available" prompt.
- Click "Download and Install".
- The App will automatically download the new version (about 150 MB). Once downloaded, restart the App to complete the update.
Method 2: Manual Download
- Visit binance.com/download.
- Select "Windows".
- Download the latest
BinanceSetup.exe. - No need to uninstall the old version first; simply double-click the new setup file.
- The installer will automatically detect the old version and upgrade it.
- Open the App after the upgrade; your account and preferences will be preserved.
How to Update on macOS Desktop
Similar to Windows, the App will automatically prompt you to update, or you can go to the official site to download the latest .dmg file for a manual overwrite installation.
Note on Choosing the Version for Apple Silicon Chips
The Binance macOS version offers two download options:
- Intel Version (for pre-2020 Intel Macs)
- Apple Silicon Version (for M1/M2/M3/M4 Macs)
Ensure you choose the correct version when updating. Downloading the wrong one will result in a prompt saying "This application cannot run on this Mac."
How to Know Your Current Version
iOS / Android
- Open the Binance App.
- Go to the "Profile" tab at the bottom.
- Scroll to the very bottom.
- It will display your current version number (e.g., 2.92.4).
Windows / macOS
- Open the client.
- Click the menu in the top right corner → "About".
- A window will display the version number and build date.
Comparing with the Latest Version Number
Open binance.com/download, where the page will indicate the latest version number. Compare it with what you have on your device; if yours is lower, update.
How Often Should You Update?
It is recommended to check at least once a month. When major security updates appear, you should upgrade immediately. Binance App updates are categorized into:
- Urgent Security Patches (Released within 1-2 days, immediate update strongly advised)
- Feature Upgrades (New trading pairs, new Earn products, can wait 1-2 weeks)
- UI Adjustments (Interface optimizations, minor bug fixes, update at your convenience)
- Futures Mechanism Updates (Affects leverage and liquidation rules, must update)
Especially for futures traders, Binance's futures engine occasionally adjusts margin and liquidation rules. An old version might not correctly display the latest liquidation prices, which is extremely dangerous.
What to Do Before Updating
Step 1: Backup Current Data
Although updating will not wipe account data, it is recommended to screenshot and save your current transaction history and positions before a major version update, so you have a reference just in case something goes wrong.
Step 2: Record Current Version Number
This way, if the new version has bugs, you can roll back to the previous stable version. The official Binance site retains historical APKs from the last 6 months for download.
Step 3: Check Storage Space
Updating requires at least 300 MB of free storage. Insufficient space will cause the update to fail.
Step 4: Ensure Stable Network
Use Wi-Fi throughout. Downloading via mobile data can easily be interrupted and consumes a lot of data.
What If the Update Fails?
Scenario 1: App Store Shows "Unable to Update"
Sign out of your Apple ID and sign back in. If it still fails, restart your iPhone.
Scenario 2: APK Download Fails Halfway
Try a different browser. If Chrome fails, try Firefox or Edge.
Scenario 3: Android Prompts "App not installed" During Installation
This could be a signature conflict. Completely uninstall the old version first (this will lose local cache but not your account), restart your phone, and then install the new APK.
Scenario 4: Desktop Client Won't Launch After Updating
Uninstall the current version via the Control Panel, go to the official website to re-download the latest installation package, and reinstall it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Do I need to log in again after updating the Binance App?
A: Usually not. Updates retain the local login token, so opening the App will keep you logged in. However, for major version updates (e.g., upgrading from 2.x to 3.x) or when security policies change, you may be asked to log in again and perform a 2FA verification.
Q2: Can I roll back if I find the new version hard to use?
A: Yes. Go to the "Historical Versions" section on the official Binance download page, download the older APK you want, and uninstall the current version before installing the older one (since Android doesn't support overwriting an app with an older version). Remember to backup local data before uninstalling. iOS versions cannot be rolled back.
Q3: Does auto-updating the Binance App consume a lot of mobile data?
A: Each update is about 80-150 MB. Assuming 2 updates a month, that's 200-300 MB of data monthly. It is highly recommended to set auto-updates for Wi-Fi only.
Q4: Why is the App slower after updating?
A: Upon launching a new version for the first time, it re-indexes local data. This process can take 1-3 minutes, during which the App may be slightly sluggish. Once the indexing is complete, it will return to normal (or you can restart the phone/App). If the lag persists, clear the cache (Settings → Apps → Binance → Clear Cache).
