OKX (OKEx) Official Download Guide for Mainland China Users

In Mainland China, the only official download channel for OKX (OKEx) is the direct link provided on its global website. Android users should download the official APK file, while iOS users need to use an Apple ID registered outside of mainland China to search for the official app in the App Store and trust the developer, thereby safely obtaining the genuine OKX app.

In this article we have compiled the only official download routes for OKX (OKEx) within China, listing the steps for Android and iOS in detail and offering practical anti‑counterfeit tips to help newcomers install the genuine client safely. Follow the step‑by‑step guide to protect your account and avoid phishing software.

1. Identify the Official Download Channel

• Only official website:
• OKX website: <https://www.okx.com/zh-hans/join/B2345>
• Official app download page: <https://www.bitaigen.com/binance/download>

Visiting the links above is the only reliable way to obtain the genuine OKX (OKEx) app.

• Manually type the URL: It is strongly recommended to type the official domain directly into the browser’s address bar rather than clicking on search‑engine results or unknown links, to avoid redirection to malicious sites.

Important notes for Android users

• Mainland Chinese Android app stores (Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo, etc.) typically do not host the official OKX app. If you encounter a download link in any of those stores, verify the source carefully—most likely it is a counterfeit version.

Important notes for iOS users

• In the Apple App Store you can only find the official OKX app when using an Apple ID registered outside mainland China (e.g., South Korea, Singapore). A domestic Apple ID will not return any results.
• Invitation code: `B2345` (used for registration)
• Official links:
• OKX website
• OKX app download page

2. Android (Android) “Step‑by‑Step” Download Tutorial

1. Prepare the device – make sure your Android phone or tablet is connected to a stable network.
2. Open a secure browser – Chrome, Firefox, Edge or any other mainstream browser is recommended.
3. Visit the sole official website – manually type the address into the address bar and go to:

• Mainland China portal: <https://www.okx.com/zh-hans/join/B2345>
• App download page: <https://www.bitaigen.com/binance/download>

How to download the OKX app from the official website

• On the home page, look for a top‑navigation button, a banner, or a floating CTA that says “Download App” or “Android Download.” Click it.
• If the button does not appear on the first screen, scroll down to the footer or sitemap area where an “APP Download” link is usually placed.

Download the Android APK package

• After clicking the download button, the browser will start downloading a `.apk` file (e.g., `okx_app.apk`).
• System warning: Android blocks installations from unknown sources by default, so you will see a security prompt before and after the download. This is normal.

Direct‑link download steps

1. Click the official download link. A file‑download dialog appears; select “I understand the risks, continue downloading.”
2. Android will display “Potential risk detected for this app.” Tap “Continue download.”
3. When the download finishes, tap “Install” or follow the system’s installation prompt.

1. During installation you will see buttons such as “Allow,” “Ignore risk and continue,” etc.—confirm each one in order.
2. Some devices request a “One‑time install permission.” Tap the three‑dot menu at the top‑right corner to grant it.

1. After the installation finishes, Android will show “Installation complete.” You can now open the OKX app.

Enabling “Install from Unknown Sources” (first‑time only)

1. Open your file manager and locate the downloaded `.apk` (usually in the Downloads folder).
2. If Android shows “Installation from unknown sources blocked,” follow this path to temporarily allow the current browser:

• `Settings > Security (or Privacy / Apps & permissions) > Special app access (or Install unknown apps) > Choose your browser > Enable “Allow from this source.”`

1. Return to the `.apk` file and tap it again to complete the installation.
2. For safety, disable the permission again once the app is installed.
