OPPO and vivo are two smartphone brands with massive sales volumes in China, and many users holding these devices find they cannot search for the Binance App in their built-in app stores. Don't worry, the method is very simple. First, get the download link through the Official Binance Website, and install the Official Binance App to start using it; Apple device users please see the iOS installation guide. Below, we will explain the specific operations for OPPO and vivo respectively.
Downloading the Binance App on OPPO Phones
OPPO phones use the ColorOS system, which has relatively strict app installation controls. Here is a detailed guide on how to operate.
Step 1: Download the APK File
- Open the built-in browser on your OPPO phone.
- Visit the official website of Binance.
- Find the download area and click "Android Download".
- Wait for the APK file to finish downloading.
Step 2: Handle Security Prompts
After downloading the APK on an OPPO phone, the following prompts may pop up:
- "This app has not been security-tested by OPPO"
- "Installing apps from unknown sources may harm your device"
These are standard system security prompts and do not mean there is a problem with the App itself.
Step 3: Allow Installation Permissions
For ColorOS 12 and above:
- Open "Settings".
- Find "Password & Security" (or "Security").
- Click on "System Security".
- Find "Install Unknown Apps".
- Select your browser.
- Turn on "Allow App Installations".
For ColorOS 11 and below:
- Open "Settings".
- Find "Security".
- Turn on "Unknown Sources".
Step 4: Install the APK
After setting the permissions, go to "File Manager" to find the downloaded APK file (usually in the "Downloads" folder) and click to install. If a security scan prompt pops up, choose "Install Anyway" or "Continue Installation".
OPPO's App Installer Issues
Some OPPO phones will forcibly use a "Security Installer" to conduct a scan when installing an APK. If the scan fails to pass, you can try:
- Go to "Settings" → "App Management" → "Security Installer".
- Clear cache and data.
- Reinstall the APK.
Alternatively, when the security installer is scanning, wait patiently for it to finish; usually, it will provide a "Continue Installation" option after the scan is complete.
Downloading the Binance App on vivo Phones
vivo phones use OriginOS (or FuntouchOS on older models), and the process of installing third-party APKs is similar to OPPO.
Step 1: Download the APK
- Open the built-in vivo browser or another browser.
- Enter the official Binance website.
- Download the Android APK file.
Step 2: Enable Installation Permissions
For OriginOS 3.0 and above:
- Open "Settings".
- Find "Security & Privacy" (or "Security").
- Click on "More Security Settings".
- Find "Install Unknown Apps".
- Select your browser and turn on "Allow Installation".
For OriginOS 2.0 / FuntouchOS:
- Open "Settings".
- Find "Security".
- Find "Unknown Sources" and turn it on.
Step 3: Install the APK
Find the downloaded APK file and click to install. vivo phones generally perform security scans relatively quickly; just select "Continue Installation" when the prompt appears.
vivo's iManager Security Scan
vivo phones have a built-in iManager security management tool that automatically scans when installing an APK. If the scan result shows "Secure", you can install it directly. If it prompts "Risky", don't panic, just select "Install Anyway".
Settings Optimization After Installation on OPPO and vivo
After installing Binance on both brands of phones, it is recommended to configure the following settings:
Allow Background Running
ColorOS (OPPO):
- Open "Settings" → "Battery".
- Find the Binance App.
- Turn off "App Quick Freeze" and "Auto Optimize When Anomaly Detected".
- Turn on "Allow Background Activity".
OriginOS (vivo):
- Open "Settings" → "Battery".
- Click "Background Power Consumption Management".
- Find the Binance App.
- Set to "Allow High Background Power Consumption".
Notification Permission Settings
OPPO:
- "Settings" → "Notification & Status Bar" → "Manage Notifications".
- Find Binance and turn on all notification options.
vivo:
- "Settings" → "Notification & Status Bar" → "App Notification Management".
- Find Binance and turn on notifications.
App Lock
Both OPPO and vivo have built-in app lock features. It is recommended to add the Binance App to the app lock:
OPPO: "Settings" → "Password & Security" → "App Lock" → Add Binance vivo: "Settings" → "Fingerprint, Face & Password" → "Privacy & App Encryption" → Add Binance
Comparison of Installing Binance on Both Brands
| Comparison Item | OPPO | vivo |
|---|---|---|
| Security Scan Strictness | Relatively Strict | Moderate |
| Clarity of Install Prompts | Average | Better |
| Background Management | Relatively Aggressive | Moderate |
| Notification Push Timeliness | Requires Manual Setup | Requires Manual Setup |
| Overall Installation Difficulty | Medium | Easy |
Overall, installing the Binance App on a vivo phone will be slightly smoother than on an OPPO. OPPO's security installer can sometimes be rather "stubborn", but following the methods above will solve the issues.
realme and iQOO Phones
realme is a sub-brand of OPPO and uses the realme UI system based on ColorOS. The method to install Binance is exactly the same as OPPO.
iQOO is a sub-brand of vivo and also uses the OriginOS system. The installation method is exactly the same as vivo.
So, if you are using a realme or iQOO phone, just refer directly to the parent brand's operations.
The Situation for OnePlus Phones
OnePlus has now merged with OPPO and also uses the ColorOS system. The method to install Binance is the same as OPPO. However, OnePlus's system is usually a bit more "open", with relatively fewer restrictions on installing third-party APKs.
How to Register and Use After Installation
Open the Binance App after installation is complete, and the interface is the same as on other phones. The registration process for new users:
- Select Registration Method: Phone number or email.
- Fill in Information: Enter your phone number/email and password.
- Verification: Enter the verification code received.
- Complete Profile: Fill in basic information like your name.
- Identity Verification: Upload photos of your ID card and complete facial recognition.
- Set up Security: Enable two-factor authentication (Google Authenticator).
Once registration is complete, you can deposit funds and trade.
Ultimate Solution for Installation Problems
If you have tried all the methods above and still cannot install it, try this ultimate solution:
- Restart your phone.
- Ensure your phone is connected to Wi-Fi.
- Go to "Settings" → "App Management", find "File Manager" and "Security Center" (or similar system apps), and clear their cache.
- Use the "File Manager" App to directly open the APK file and install it.
- Keep the screen continuously on during installation and do not switch to other Apps.
If it really cannot be installed, you can consider using the web version of Binance as an alternative. Visit the official Binance website in your mobile browser and "Add to Home Screen" to also get a decent user experience.
FAQ
Q1: Is the "Binance" found in the OPPO or vivo app store the genuine version?
Under normal circumstances, you cannot find the Binance App in these two app stores. If you find an App with the same or similar name, it is likely a counterfeit application, do not download it. The genuine Binance App can only be downloaded through the official website or Google Play.
Q2: Do I need to root my OPPO/vivo phone to install Binance?
Absolutely not. Normally, you only need to enable the "Install Unknown Apps" permission. Rooting your phone will actually introduce security risks, and it is not recommended to use financial Apps on a rooted device.
Q3: Will OPPO/vivo phones prompt "App is risky" and ask to uninstall it after installation?
Sometimes after a system update, it might rescan installed Apps and issue a "risk warning" for some Apps not installed from the app store. When encountering this situation, just choose "Ignore" or "Trust this app"; there is no need to uninstall.
Q4: Is trading smooth using Binance on OPPO/vivo phones?
Very smooth. The mid-to-high-end models of these two brands have absolutely no problem running the Binance App. Even for entry-level phones around the thousand-yuan price range, the basic functions of running Binance are smooth.
Q5: How to update the Binance App on OPPO/vivo phones?
The same way as installation: download the latest version of the APK file from the official website and install it; it will automatically overwrite the old version. Or, check if there is an update prompt within the Binance App, and follow the instructions to update.
