3. Obtain and Install the OKX App

1. iOS Device Download Guide

iPhone/iPad users need a Taiwan‑region Apple ID. Below is the preparation and registration process:

Preparations

• An iPhone or iPad that has never been linked to an Apple ID.
• An unused email address (Gmail is recommended).
• A Taiwan address generator (real street name and postal code can be obtained at https://www.meiguodizhi.com/hk-address).
• The name can be entered in Pinyin or Traditional Chinese; the birthdate must be over 18 years old (it does not need to be the actual date).

Registering the Apple ID

1. Visit the Apple ID registration site (https://appleid.apple.com), fill in your name, select Taiwan as the region, and provide a birthdate that meets the age requirement.

1. Choose a Gmail address for the Apple ID and set a password that includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. For “Country/Region” you may select Mainland China so you can receive SMS verification codes on a local number, then click 【Continue】.

1. Open your email inbox, retrieve the verification code, and enter it to confirm the email address.

1. The system will then send an SMS verification code to the phone number you provided. Input the code to finish the initial Taiwan Apple ID registration.

1. On the iPhone/iPad, open the App Store and sign in with the newly created Apple ID (do not sign in through the Settings app). The App Store will prompt you for SMS verification; follow the instructions to complete it.

1. You will be taken to a “Agree to Terms and Conditions” page. Check the box and continue. Payment methods can be left blank, and billing information may be filled with placeholder data.

1. After completing the steps above, the Apple ID is successfully created. Log into the App Store with this ID, search for OKX, and download the official app.

Switching Accounts in the App Store

Open the App Store, tap the profile icon in the top‑right corner, sign out of the current China‑region Apple ID, then sign in with the newly created Taiwan Apple ID.

After logging in, search for “OKX”. Skip the first sponsored result and download the second entry, which is the official app.

When the download finishes, tap 【Open】 to launch the OKX client.

2. Android Device Download Guide

Android users can obtain the installation package directly from the OKX website:

• Official OKX registration link: <https://www.okx.com/zh-hans/join/B2345>

After opening the link, tap the three‑line menu icon in the upper‑right corner and select 【Download OKX APP】.

Click 【Download OKX APP】 again; a browser prompt will appear asking you to confirm the download. Accept the prompt to start downloading.

When the download finishes, tap 【Allow installation this time】. Because the APK originates from a browser, Android will display a security warning; simply confirm “Install anyway” to proceed.

After a successful installation, the OKX app is ready for use.

Common Solutions for Installation Failures

1. Disable network connections (both Wi‑Fi and mobile data) temporarily to prevent security modules from blocking the installer.
2. Go to Settings → System & Updates → Pure Mode and turn off the enhanced protection feature.

1. In Settings → Security → More security settings, enable “Install apps from external sources”.

Following these three steps resolves the majority of installation‑blocking issues.
