The Binance APP installation package size is about 80-120MB, and it takes up about 150-200MB of storage after installation. As usage time increases, cached data may reach 300-500MB. You can download the latest installation package through the Binance official website to get the official Binance APP. Apple users can check the iOS installation guide.
Storage Space Used by Different Binance APP Versions
| Version | Package Size | Installed Size | After 3 Months of Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Android Standard Version | 80-100MB | 150-200MB | 300-500MB |
| Android Lite Version | Same as above (built-in mode) | Same as above | Same as above |

Why does it get bigger after use? The Binance APP generates the following cached data during use:
- K-line chart data cache: Market chart data that has been viewed.
- Image cache: Coin icons, ad images, etc.
- Transaction record cache: Locally saved transaction history.
- Log files: APP operation logs.
How to Check Binance APP Storage Usage
Android Phones
- Open "Settings" → "App Management"
- Find "Binance"
- Tap "Storage" or "Storage and Cache"
- You can see the two data items: "App Size" and "Cache Size"
iPhone
- Open "Settings" → "General" → "iPhone Storage"
- Find "Binance" in the app list
- You can see "App Size" and "Documents & Data"
Clearing Binance APP Cache
Clear Cache on Android (Does Not Affect Your Account)
- Open "Settings" → "App Management" → "Binance" → "Storage"
- Tap "Clear Cache" (Note: Do NOT tap "Clear Data")
- Clearing the cache can usually free up 100-300MB of space
- After clearing, you will need to reload data such as K-line charts when you reopen the APP
Note the difference:
- Clear Cache: Only deletes temporary files, does not affect login status ✅
- Clear Data: Clears all data, requires you to log in again ⚠️
Clear Cache on iPhone
The iPhone does not have a separate option to clear the cache, but you can do it via the following methods:
- Offload App (Keep Data): Settings → iPhone Storage → Binance → Offload App
- Reinstall from the App Store
- This clears the cache while retaining your login credentials
Alternatively, clear it within the APP:
- Open the Binance APP
- Go to "More" → "Settings" → "Clear Cache" (This option is available in some versions)
Solutions for Insufficient Phone Storage Space
Solution 1: Clean Up Overall Phone Storage
Suggested priority for freeing up space:
- Clear WeChat/WhatsApp Cache: Communication APPs usually take up the most space and often have several GBs of cache
- Delete Unused APPs: Check which APPs you haven't opened in a long time
- Clean Up Photos and Videos: Delete local files after backing them up to a cloud drive
- Clean Up Downloaded Files: Check old files in your "Downloads" folder
- Clear Browser Cache: Browser cache can also take up hundreds of MBs
Solution 2: Use Binance Lite Mode
Although Lite mode does not reduce the size of the APP itself, it loads less data, generating less cache:
- Open the Binance APP
- Tap the avatar in the top left corner
- Turn on "Binance Lite"
- In Lite mode, only core features are displayed, and the cache grows more slowly
Solution 3: Use the Web Version as an Alternative
If phone storage is really tight, you can access the Binance web version using a browser:
- Open your mobile browser
- Visit the Binance official website
- Log into your account
- Tap the browser menu and select "Add to Home Screen"
- Now you have a shortcut similar to an APP that takes up almost no extra storage
Solution 4: Expand Storage
- Android Phones: If your phone supports an SD card, you can move some apps to the SD card.
- Steps: Settings → Apps → Binance → Storage → Change storage location → SD Card.
- Note: Not all phones support moving APPs to an SD card.
Recommendations for Regular Maintenance
To keep the Binance APP running smoothly, regular maintenance is recommended:
| Action | Frequency | Effect |

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Binance APP get larger the more I use it?
This is mainly due to cached data accumulation. Every time you view a K-line chart, browse trading pairs, or load images, a cache is generated. For frequent traders, the cache grows faster and can reach over 500MB in 3 months. Regularly clearing the cache will solve this.
Will clearing the cache affect my transaction records?
No. All transaction records are saved on Binance's servers; clearing the cache only deletes local temporary files. After clearing it, when you reopen the APP, your transaction records will reload from the server.
What is the minimum storage space required for the Binance APP?
It is recommended to reserve at least 300MB of free storage space for installation and daily use. If the storage space is below 100MB, the APP may crash or fail to update.
What should I do if it says "Insufficient storage space" when installing the Binance APP?
Installation requires at least 200MB of free space (installation package size + temporary space for extraction). First, clean up your phone storage following the solutions above to ensure you have enough space before installing.
