For Android Devices

The installation process on Android requires you to manually permit installations from sources other than the Google Play Store.

1. Download the APK File: First, obtain the latest APK installation file from the official OKX website. Always ensure you are downloading from a verified source to protect your device's security.

2. Enable Installation from Unknown Sources: Before installing, you must adjust your device's security settings.

   • Navigate to your phone's Settings menu.
   • Select Security or Privacy (the name may vary slightly depending on your device manufacturer).
   • Find and enable the option labeled Unknown sources or Install unknown apps. This allows your device to install applications from outside the official app store.
3. Install the Application: Locate the downloaded APK file using your device's file manager. Tap on the file to begin the installation. A prompt will appear; confirm by selecting Install. The process will complete in a few moments.
4. Launch the App: Once installed, you will find the OKX app icon on your home screen or app drawer. Tap it to open the application.

For iOS Devices

1. Access the App Store: Open the App Store application on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Search for the OKX App: Use the search function within the App Store and type "OKX" to locate the official application.
3. Download and Install: Tap the Get button next to the OKX app listing. The app will download and install automatically. You may need to authenticate with your Apple ID, Face ID, or Touch ID to proceed.

Account Registration and Login

After successfully installing the application, the next step is to access its features by creating an account or logging in.

• New Users: Upon opening the app for the first time, you will be guided through a registration process. This typically involves providing an email address or mobile number, creating a secure password, and verifying your identity via a code sent to you.
• Existing Users: If you already have an account, simply enter your credentials (email/phone and password) to log in and access your dashboard.
