Many iPhone users know they need to switch Apple IDs to download the Binance APP, but they hesitate about the specifics — how exactly to switch, whether it'll affect phone data, and how to switch back. Today we'll spell out every step of switching Apple ID to download the Binance APP. First, check the Binance official website for the latest download methods for the official Binance APP, or go directly to the iOS installation guide.

Switching Apple ID Won't Lose Your Data

Let's address your biggest concern first: Switching Apple ID in the App Store will not affect any data on your phone. Your photos, chat history, contacts, and everything else will remain unchanged.

This is because we're only switching the account in the App Store — not touching the system-level account in "Settings → Apple ID." The two are independent.

Prepare an Overseas Apple ID

Register One Yourself (Recommended)

  1. Open a browser and visit appleid.apple.com
  2. Click "Create Your Apple ID"
  3. Fill in registration information:
    • Name: Can be anything
    • Country/Region: Select "United States" (recommended — most complete app selection)
    • Birthday: Make sure it shows adult age
    • Email: Use an email that hasn't been registered for an Apple ID before
    • Password: Set a secure password
    • Security questions: Fill in carefully and remember them
  4. Verify the code sent to your email
  5. Registration complete

Borrow from a Friend

If a friend already has an overseas Apple ID, you can borrow it temporarily. Just log in to the App Store, download, and log out — it won't affect their account. However, for security reasons, registering your own is still recommended.

Switching Accounts in the App Store

Sign Out of Current Account

  1. Open the App Store
  2. Tap the avatar icon in the top right corner
  3. Scroll to the very bottom of the page
  4. Tap "Sign Out"

Sign In with Overseas Account

  1. On the same page, enter the overseas Apple ID email and password
  2. Tap "Sign In"
  3. If prompted for two-factor authentication, complete the verification as instructed

First Login May Require Additional Information

The first time you sign in with a new Apple ID on your iPhone, the system may ask you to "Review" account information:

  1. Agree to Terms and Conditions
  2. Select "None" for payment method
  3. Billing address needs to be filled with an address from the corresponding country

For a US address, you can fill in:

  • Street: Any address, e.g., 123 Main Street
  • City: Any city, e.g., New York
  • State: New York
  • ZIP Code: 10001
  • Phone: Any 10-digit number, e.g., 2125551234

Download the Binance APP

After successful login:

  1. Type "Binance" in the App Store search bar
  2. Find the official Binance APP in search results (developer is Binance Inc.)
  3. Tap Get/Download
  4. You may need to enter your password or use Face ID to confirm
  5. Wait for download and installation to complete

The Binance icon will appear on your home screen once the download is finished.

Switch Back to Your Regular Apple ID

Switch back immediately after downloading:

  1. Open the App Store
  2. Tap the avatar in the top right corner
  3. Scroll to the bottom and tap "Sign Out"
  4. Enter your regular Apple ID to sign back in

After switching back, the Binance APP you just downloaded won't disappear — you can open and use it normally.

How to Handle Future APP Updates

This is the only slightly inconvenient part. Since the APP was downloaded with the overseas ID, updates also require the overseas ID:

  1. When the APP indicates an update is available
  2. Open the App Store
  3. Switch to the overseas Apple ID
  4. Find Binance and tap Update
  5. Switch back to your regular ID after updating

Tip: You don't need to update immediately every time. You can batch several versions and update all at once to reduce switching frequency. However, for security updates, it's recommended to handle them promptly.

FAQ

"This Apple ID has not yet been used in the iTunes Store" After Logging In

This is normal — it appears the first time a new ID is used. Complete the account setup as prompted.

No "None" Option for Payment Method

This usually means your Apple ID has an outstanding balance. Try with a newly registered ID, or check if you selected the wrong country/region.

"Unable to Download" Error

Check your network connection. If WiFi doesn't work, try mobile data. You can also restart your phone and try again.

Binance APP Disappeared After Switching Back

This is very unlikely. If it does happen, swipe down on the home screen and search "Binance." It may also have been placed in an APP folder.

Will Multiple Apple IDs Conflict

No. iOS supports using different Apple IDs for the App Store and iCloud. As long as you don't switch in "Settings → Apple ID," iCloud sync won't be affected.

Advanced: Family Sharing

If multiple people in your household need to download the Binance APP, you can set up "Family Sharing" with one overseas Apple ID. This way, other family members don't need to register separate overseas IDs — they can download directly through Family Sharing.

Setup:

  1. Enable "Family Sharing" in the overseas ID settings
  2. Invite other Apple IDs to join the family
  3. Find Binance in the shared purchase history to download

Security Reminders

Don't Casually Log Into Settings with Someone Else's Apple ID

Emphasis again: only switch in the App Store — don't operate in "Settings → Apple ID." If you sign into someone else's Apple ID in Settings, your iCloud data may sync to their devices, creating a privacy leak risk.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication on the Overseas ID

It's also recommended to enable two-factor authentication on the overseas Apple ID you registered. In case you need to change the password or sign in on a new device later, two-factor authentication protects account security.

Switching Apple ID to download the Binance APP is this simple. The entire process can be completed in under ten minutes, and you only need to do it once. After that, you'll only need to switch for updates.
