Introduction

Due to relevant China App Store policies, the Binance APP cannot be directly searched and downloaded from the mainland China App Store. Apple users need an overseas Apple ID to obtain the Binance APP. This may sound complicated, but the actual process is not difficult. This article provides a detailed step-by-step guide.
