How to Download the OKX App and Check It's the Official One

Installing the OKX app comes down to confirming two things: that the place you start from is official, and that what ends up on your phone is the official app. The official domain is www.okx.com. On iPhone the app comes from the App Store, and on Android the installer comes from the download page on that domain.

What is OKX's official domain, and where is the download page?

OKX's official domain is www.okx.com. The help center's How can you protect yourself from a phishing attack? says two things about getting there: "It's recommended to input manually the official website of OKX: https://www.okx.com" and "Don't search the OKX website through Google or other search engines and log-in without double checking."

The way in is the download page on the official site (www.okx.com/download). Its page title reads "Download OKX App | Crypto iOS & Android App | MacOS & Windows Desktop App", so the same page covers the phone apps and the desktop apps.

In practice: type www.okx.com into the address bar yourself, bookmark it, and come back through the bookmark from then on. Don't use installers, file-host links or QR codes that someone sends you in a chat.

How do I install the OKX app on an iPhone?

The help center's How do I download OKX app on an iPhone (iOS)? (updated Aug 25, 2026) goes through the App Store:

1. Have an Apple ID ready. The article asks you to select its country/region when you create it and points to a list of countries and regions that support downloading the OKX app.
2. Open the App Store signed in with that Apple ID and search for OKX.
3. Before you tap Get, look at the developer. The article states: "The official iOS app developer is “OKX Inc.”" Apps from any other developer are counterfeit.

The same article carries two more notes. If you have created a wallet, it tells you to "be sure to back it up properly before updating or uninstalling the app." And you don't have to install the app at all: open the OKX website in Safari and use Add to Home Screen to put an icon there.

If your Apple ID's region isn't on the supported list, the app won't appear in the App Store. Whether you may use OKX's services depends on the laws where you live, so settle that first and then decide whether to install.

How do I install the OKX app on Android?

For Android, the download page links to a step-by-step download guide with an Android tab. Start from that page, take the installer only from a page on www.okx.com, and follow the steps the guide shows for your phone.

Two more things are worth doing yourself:

• The source is the only proof the installer is genuine. The download page shows no checksum or signing fingerprint for the Android package, so get the file from www.okx.com and nowhere else, and don't use a copy someone forwards to you.
• Turn back on any system protection you switch off. Some phones block installers from outside their app store, and the Simplified Chinese version of the guide has steps for certain phones that involve switching off the check on outside-source apps. If you do that to get this one installer through, restore the setting once the app is in, so other unknown installers can't follow it.

How do I confirm the app and the messages I get are official?

The help center gives you three things to work with:

• The developer name. On iOS it's "OKX Inc.", as in the previous section.
• Official channel verification. How can you protect yourself from a phishing attack? points to OKX's channel verification page for checking a suspicious contact, alongside reaching the support team.
• The anti-phishing code. The same article says "You can set the anti-phishing code on OKX app > Menu > Security > Anti-phishing code" and that afterwards "the email sent by OKX will contain the anti-phishing code you set." The article speaks of email. Even when the code matches, don't follow links in the email; do whatever it asks about from inside the app.

Once you're sure the app is the official one, and if you don't have an account yet, you can sign up inside the app or on the OKX website; our invite code is in the card at the top of this guide, so enter it in the invite code field when you sign up.

After signing up you'll also need to complete identity verification; how to go through both in order, and what to prepare for KYC, is laid out in OKX Sign-Up, KYC and Security Setup. Link an authenticator app soon after you log in. How do I link an authenticator app? reminds you to "make sure to securely store your setup key during setup" and adds: "If you change or lose your phone, you may not be able to log in without it." Write that key down somewhere offline. Once the account exists, which layer holds your money and which one a script uses is covered in OKX Funding Account vs Trading Account.
