Manual installs shift the judgement to you
Stores apply a review pass automatically; a manual install has no such gate, so the judgement falls to you. The good news is that with the right source and sane permissions, manual installs can be just as safe.
What to prepare before you start
These five things cover almost every delay people run into: Confirm the package came from the official download page with a verified domain.
Check that your Android version matches the package requirement. Plan to switch the unknown-sources toggle off right after installing.
Be ready to read the permission list and judge whether it makes sense.
Six gates before and after install
Follow the order and the risk drops sharply: Verify the domain before downloading and take the package only from the official page.
After download, compare the file size with what the page indicates; unusually small or large is suspicious. Enable unknown sources only for the install, then disable it immediately.
On first launch review permission prompts and refuse contacts, SMS and other unrelated ones. Check the version in settings and look for available updates right away.
In app management, confirm the install source shows the official channel.
Fees, limits and processing times
Numbers change from time to time, always confirm on the official fee page before you commit size: Official entry: use okx.com or your own bookmark, and check the domain letter by letter - look-alike domains are the most common phishing trick here.
Install the app from App Store, Google Play or the official OKX download page; Android users should avoid APK files shared through chat groups. Set a separate fund password alongside Google Authenticator, then enable the anti-phishing code and address whitelisting.
Review login devices regularly and expect extra checks after changing SIM, email or device. The help centre and in-app support cover most issues; for fund-related cases open a ticket and keep the reference number.
Nobody from real support will ask for your password, 2FA code or seed phrase - treat anyone who does as a scammer.
The OKX-specific part
The OKX Android package likewise comes from the official download page; verify the domain and page integrity first. The official download page never asks you to disable security software; leave any page that does.
Frequently asked questions
The system warns the package is risky.
Continue
Stop and check the source first. If it is genuinely official yet still blocked, it is often a false positive, so confirm with support before deciding.
Could the APK be swapped mid-download
Theoretically yes on an unsafe network, so download on a trusted network and verify the domain.
Should I keep the APK after installing
No. Delete it and fetch a fresh copy from official channels if you need to reinstall.

No trading app needs your contacts or SMS; any that asks is not trustworthy. Check official channels periodically for version updates.
