When installing the Binance APP on Xiaomi phones (including Redmi and POCO brands), the MIUI/HyperOS systems will present some additional security verification steps. This tutorial covers installation methods from MIUI 12 up to the latest HyperOS. First, complete the basic preparations: register an account on the Binance official website, download the official Binance APP APK file, and Apple users should refer to the iOS installation guide.
What is Unique About Installing on Xiaomi Phones
The Xiaomi system has two layers of security protection for APK installations:
- Installation Source Verification: You must manually allow the browser to install apps.
- Security Scanning: MIUI's built-in Security Center will scan the APK file.
These are normal security measures; simply follow the prompts to proceed.
HyperOS (Xiaomi HyperOS) Installation Steps
Step 1: Download the APK
Use Xiaomi's built-in browser or Chrome to visit the Binance official website and download the APK file.
Step 2: Handle Security Prompts
After downloading, click install. The system will pop up prompts:
- For the first installation, it will ask you to "Allow apps from this source"; turn on the switch.
- The Security Center will automatically scan the APK file (wait a few seconds).
- After the scan is complete, it might display "Has not passed security verification"; click "Continue installing".
Step 3: Complete Installation
Wait for the installation progress bar to finish, then click "Open" to launch the Binance APP.
MIUI 14/13 Installation Steps
The process is essentially identical to HyperOS; the difference lies in the settings paths:
- Settings -> Privacy protection -> Special permissions -> Install unknown apps.
- Select your browser and enable "Allow apps from this source".
- Return to the download directory and click the APK to install.
The MIUI security scan pop-up will have a countdown (usually 10 seconds). You can only click "Continue installing" after the countdown finishes.
MIUI 12/11 Installation Steps
Older versions of MIUI are simpler to operate:
- Settings -> Security -> Install unknown apps.
- Select the browser and enable permissions.
- Download the APK and install.
Xiaomi-Specific Installation Issues
Security Scan Keeps Spinning and Won't Finish
MIUI Security Center's scan requires an internet connection. If the network is poor, it might get stuck. Solutions:
- Disconnect from the network and retry the installation to skip the online scan.
- Or, temporarily turn off "Scan before installing" in Settings -> Security Center -> Settings.
Prompt Says "This installation package may contain risks"
This is a generic warning from MIUI for all APKs not sourced from its app store; it does not mean the APK has a problem. As long as you downloaded it from the Binance official website, you can install it safely.
Flagged by "App Behavior Record" After Installation
MIUI records sensitive behaviors of apps (like reading notifications, running in the background, etc.). This is a system monitoring feature and does not affect the normal use of the APP.
Push Notifications Are Delayed
Xiaomi's power-saving policies are quite aggressive, which might affect Binance's push notifications:
- Settings -> Apps -> Manage apps -> Binance -> Battery saver -> Select "No restrictions".
- Settings -> Apps -> Manage apps -> Binance -> Auto-start -> Enable.
- In the recent tasks list, swipe down on the Binance APP to lock it (preventing it from being cleared).
Installation Differences Across Models
- Xiaomi 14/15 Series: Pre-installed with HyperOS; follow the HyperOS process.
- Xiaomi 13 Series: Factory MIUI 14, might upgrade to HyperOS via OTA.
- Redmi Note Series: Same process as the main Xiaomi series.
- Redmi K Series: Same as above.
- POCO Series: Overseas system version; usually has fewer installation restrictions.
Updating Methods
The Binance APP on Xiaomi phones does not update via the app store:
- Open Binance APP -> Profile -> Check for updates.
- Or download the latest APK from the official website and install it over the current one.
