Downloading the Binance APP on an iPad is the same as on an iPhone; you need to use an overseas Apple ID to search for "Binance" in the App Store to download and install it. The entire process takes about 5-10 minutes, and the experience of viewing market trends and K-line charts on the iPad's large screen is excellent. You can first visit the Binance official website to learn about the latest download methods, or directly obtain the Binance official APP. For more detailed iOS installation steps, please refer to the iOS installation tutorial.
Prerequisites for Installing Binance on iPad
- System Version: iPadOS 15.0 or higher (iPadOS 17+ recommended)
- Storage Space: At least 300MB of available space
- Apple ID: An overseas Apple ID (e.g., USA, Japan, Singapore) is required
- Network: A stable Wi-Fi connection
Why Can't I Find Binance in the App Store?
If you are using an Apple ID from Mainland China, you will not find "Binance" when searching the App Store. This is because the Binance APP is not listed in the China region App Store. To download Binance, you need an overseas Apple ID.
Detailed Steps to Download Binance on iPad
Step 1: Prepare an Overseas Apple ID
You have two options:
Option A: Register a new overseas Apple ID
- Open your browser and visit appleid.apple.com.
- Click Create Your Apple ID.
- Select United States or Japan as the Country/Region.
- Fill in your email (one that hasn't been registered as an Apple ID), password, and other information.
- Complete the email verification.
Option B: Temporarily switch the region of your existing Apple ID
- Open Settings → Click your Apple ID name at the top.
- Click Media & Purchases → View Account.
- Click Country/Region → Select another country.
- Agree to the terms and fill in a local address (you can find a valid address format online).
Option A is recommended, as it does not affect the data and purchase records of your original Apple ID.
Step 2: Sign in with the Overseas Apple ID
- Open the App Store on your iPad.
- Click the avatar in the top right corner.
- If you are signed in with a China region account, scroll to the bottom and click Sign Out.
- Sign in with your overseas Apple ID.
- After signing in, the App Store will automatically switch to the corresponding region.
Step 3: Search and Download Binance
- Enter "Binance" in the App Store search bar.
- Find the official APP (Developer: Binance Inc.).
- Click the Get button; you may need to verify with Face ID or enter your password.
- Wait for the download and installation to complete, about 100MB (the iOS version is slightly larger than the Android version).
Step 4: Switch Back to Your China Region Apple ID (Optional)
After downloading Binance, you can switch the App Store back to your China region Apple ID:
- App Store → Avatar → Sign Out.
- Sign in with your China region Apple ID.
Important: After switching back, the Binance APP will still function normally, but it cannot be automatically updated through the App Store. You will need to temporarily switch to the overseas ID when an update is required.
Step 5: Set Up the Binance APP
- Open the Binance APP and select your preferred language.
- Log in or register an account.
- Complete KYC Identity Verification.
- Enable Face ID login (which works exceptionally well on iPad).
Special Advantages of Using Binance on iPad
Large Screen Viewing
Even the smallest iPad has a 10.2-inch screen, making the experience of viewing K-line charts far superior to a phone. Especially on the 11-inch and 12.9-inch screens of the iPad Pro, you can simultaneously view multiple information areas such as K-line charts, trading depth, and order books.
Split View Multitasking
iPadOS supports Split View, allowing you to:
- Place Binance on the left to watch the market and a news APP on the right for information.
- Take notes while watching K-lines.
- Open two exchange APPs at the same time to compare prices.
How to operate: Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring up the Dock, then drag another APP to the edge of the screen to start Split View.
Apple Pencil Annotation
If you have an Apple Pencil, you can draw trend lines, mark support and resistance levels directly on the K-line chart after taking a screenshot, which is very convenient for technical analysis.
Compatibility of Different iPad Models
| iPad Model | Support Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|

| iPad mini (6th Gen) | Perfectly Supported | Small screen but portable |
| iPad (9th Gen & earlier) | Supported but may be slower | Usable if the system can upgrade to iPadOS 15 |
Common Issues with Installing Binance on iPad
What if only the iPhone version is available?
After searching for Binance in the App Store, if it only shows "Compatible with iPhone," click the filter at the top of the page, select "iPhone App," and then download. The iPhone version will run in compatibility mode on the iPad; you can click the expand button in the bottom right corner for full-screen display.
Binance is currently released as an iPhone APP, but it runs perfectly on iPad without any loss of functionality.
"Verification Required" prompt during download
When downloading an APP for the first time with an overseas Apple ID on a new device, you may be asked to verify payment information. Select "None" as the payment method; there is no need to bind a credit card.
Face ID not working after setup
Confirm that Face ID is enabled in the Binance APP settings and check if it is functioning correctly in iPad Settings → Face ID & Passcode. If you have an older iPad without Face ID, you can use Touch ID or a passcode to log in.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Is data synchronized between Binance APP on iPad and iPhone? A: Yes, completely. Logging in with the same Binance account will show the same assets, orders, and settings on both devices. You can be logged in and use both devices simultaneously.
Q: Can I use Binance on a Wi-Fi only iPad (without cellular)? A: Yes, as long as you are connected to Wi-Fi, you can use all functions normally. However, if you need to trade on the go, a cellular iPad or installing the APP on your phone is recommended.
Q: Do I need to switch my Apple ID every time I update Binance? A: Yes. Since the Binance APP was downloaded via an overseas Apple ID, you must sign in to the App Store with that ID to perform updates. It's recommended to keep your overseas ID password handy and switch back after the update.
Q: Does the Binance APP on iPad support landscape mode? A: Yes. Rotating the iPad to landscape will cause the Binance APP to automatically adjust its layout. Viewing K-line charts in landscape mode is very comfortable and allows you to see trends over more time periods.
