Installing the Binance APP on Xiaomi and Redmi phones is done via direct APK installation: Download the approximately 80MB APK from the official Binance site → wait 10 seconds for the security prompt → choose install anyway. After installation, you must configure the autostart whitelist and battery optimization in MIUI/HyperOS; otherwise, the app will be killed in the background, causing push notifications to fail. The APK can also be obtained from the official Binance APP page, and for iOS, please refer to the Download Center. This article explains the details for both MIUI 14 and HyperOS.
Compatibility
| System | Compatibility | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| HyperOS 1.0+ | Perfect | Rollout started in 2024 |
| MIUI 14 | Perfect | |
| MIUI 13 | Perfect | |
| MIUI 12.5 | Good | Some UI adaptations are slightly outdated |
| MIUI 12 | Usable | Push notifications may be delayed |
| MIUI 11 | Usable | Not recommended (system is too old) |
The domestic Chinese versions of Xiaomi/Redmi do not have Google Play pre-installed, but the global versions (such as those sold in Singapore and Europe) do. Direct APK installation works for both.
Installation Steps
1. Download the APK
Open Chrome, Edge, or the built-in MIUI browser → enter binance.com → scroll to the download section at the bottom → select Android.
Once the download is complete, the notification bar will display Binance-X.X.X.apk.
2. Tap the APK to Trigger Installation
- Tap the download completion notification in the notification bar
- Or locate the APK in the file manager and tap it
3. Wait for Security Check (10 Seconds)
Installing a third-party APK on MIUI 14 / HyperOS will pop up a red "App risk warning":
This app may pose a security risk
Wait time: 10 seconds
This is MIUI's security mechanism. After waiting 10 seconds, the "Install anyway" button at the bottom will become clickable. Tap it to continue.
If you skip this step and try to install directly, it may fail. You must wait the full 10 seconds.
4. Complete the Installation
Confirm the permissions list → Install → Finishes in 1-2 seconds → The Binance icon appears on the home screen.
Mandatory MIUI Permission Settings
After installing the APP, you must configure the following 3 settings; otherwise, background behavior will be restricted:
Setting 1: Autostart Whitelist
Go to "Settings → Apps → Manage apps → Binance → Autostart" and turn the switch on.
Effect: The APP can automatically resume running after being killed, allowing it to receive push notifications in a timely manner.
Setting 2: Battery Optimization to "No restrictions"
Go to "Settings → Apps → Manage apps → Binance → Battery saver" and select "No restrictions".
If you choose "Battery saver (recommended)", MIUI will freeze the APP when the system deems it "infrequently used," and you will not receive price alerts or order execution notifications.
Setting 3: Notification Permissions
Go to "Settings → Notifications & Control center → App notifications → Binance", and ensure all types of notifications are enabled:
- Price alerts
- Order executions
- Deposits/Withdrawals
- Security reminders
- Marketing notifications (can be turned off, doesn't affect functionality)
Additional Settings for HyperOS
HyperOS 1.0+ introduced an "App stability enhancement" feature, which places extra restrictions on apps like Binance that require persistent connections:
- Settings → System → App stability
- Add Binance to the "Long-term stable operation" list
- Turn off the "Run at low priority" switch
If you skip this step, HyperOS might actively kill the Binance process when the system is idle, causing market data to stagnate.
The "Game Turbo" Issue on Xiaomi Phones
When Game Turbo is enabled on some Xiaomi/Redmi devices, it restricts the network requests of non-gaming APPs. If you are watching Binance market data while playing a game:
- Enter the Game Turbo toolbox → In-game apps → Add Binance
- This keeps the APP's network connection smooth during gameplay
MIUI Notification Suppression Issue
MIUI limits the "App notification sending frequency" by default, which might cause Binance price alerts to be swallowed. To fix this:
- Settings → Notifications & Control center → App notifications → Binance → Advanced settings
- Turn off "Notification frequency limit"
- Turn off "Mute notifications for this app in DND mode"
Updating the Binance APP
Xiaomi phones cannot use Google Play to update automatically. The update method is the same as Huawei:
- In-APP update: Profile → Settings → About → Check for updates
- Manual download of new APK: Download the new version from binance.com and tap to overwrite the installation
The key to automatic updates is whether Binance can run in the background to detect new versions. If you have strictly configured the permissions mentioned above, in-APP updates will be very smooth.
Differences Between Redmi and Xiaomi
Redmi and Xiaomi share the same MIUI/HyperOS system, so the installation steps are exactly the same. The difference lies in hardware performance:
- Redmi K series, Note series: Sufficient performance, experience is close to the Xiaomi numeric series
- Entry-level phones like Redmi A/9/10: With less than 4GB of RAM, the Binance APP may struggle (charts load slowly)
For entry-level models, it is recommended to use the browser version of binance.com to avoid APP lag.
Differences with Global Version Xiaomi Phones
Global versions of Xiaomi phones (Mi Global / Xiaomi Global) come with Google services out of the box, so you can install Binance via Google Play:
- Pros: Automatic updates, more reliable signature verification
- Cons: Regional restrictions (Binance is not available in the Play Store in some regions)
Global version users can use either method. Domestic Chinese versions can only use direct APK installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if MIUI says "This app has not passed the MIUI security check"? A: Ignore the prompt, wait 10 seconds, and tap "Install anyway". The official Binance APK is absolutely safe; MIUI simply flags all APKs not from its own app store as "Unchecked".
Q: What if the icon is grayed out or unresponsive after installation? A: It has been frozen by battery optimization. Follow the steps above to change the "Battery saver" strategy to "No restrictions".
Q: Will downloading the APK via the built-in MIUI browser alter it? A: It will not be altered, but the MIUI browser has an "App security check" that might intercept it. It is recommended to use Chrome or Edge for a smoother download.
Q: Why does the Binance APP lag after upgrading to HyperOS? A: HyperOS has new policies for apps requiring persistent connections. Just configure the settings in the "App stability" section.
Q: Can I install it on a Xiaomi Pad tablet? A: Yes. The direct APK installation steps on MIUI for Pad are the same, and the Binance APP automatically adapts to landscape layout on large screens.
Q: I installed the Binance APP on my Xiaomi phone but can't receive price alerts? A: This is 100% due to MIUI background restrictions. Configure all three items under "Mandatory MIUI Permission Settings" to resolve it.
Summary
The core of installing the Binance APP on Xiaomi/Redmi phones is: Direct APK installation + wait 10 seconds + install anyway, getting it done in three steps. After installation, you must do three things: enable autostart, change the battery policy to "No restrictions," and confirm notification permissions. HyperOS users should additionally add it to the "App stability" whitelist. With these settings, the APP's stability on MIUI/HyperOS will be close to stock Android, and price alerts and order push notifications will arrive in real time.
