Judge permissions by whether they are necessary
There is only one test: is the permission directly needed to complete a trade? Camera for scanning and verification, notifications for price alerts; beyond that most requests can be declined.
What to prepare before you start
These five things cover almost every delay people run into: List what you actually use: scanning, identity verification, price alerts.
Find the permission settings entry on your phone. Understand that denying a permission disables the matching feature.
Plan to review permissions periodically.
A recommended permission setup
This setup balances function and safety: Camera: enable as needed for scanning and document capture; turn off when not in use.
Notifications: recommended, for price and login alerts, and you can fine-tune at the system level. Photos: enable temporarily only when uploading documents or screenshots.
Contacts and SMS: always deny; a trading app has no legitimate reason to read them. Location: enable if your region requires it for compliance, otherwise it can be off.
Review quarterly: re-check grants in system settings.
Fees, limits and processing times
Numbers change from time to time, always confirm on the official fee page before you commit size: 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. 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. Spot, margin, perpetual and dated futures, plus options, sit at the core of the platform.
Strategy tools such as grid and DCA bots, copy trading, OKX Wallet with its DEX aggregator, and Earn products extend well beyond simple trading.
The OKX-specific part
The official OKX client likewise asks for camera and photos only when needed. If requests clearly exceed what trading needs, uninstall and check where the install came from.
Frequently asked questions
Does denying a permission break the app
Only the matching feature is affected; core trading and viewing keep working.
Why would an app read contacts
A trading app has no legitimate reason, so treat such a request as suspicious.
Can I change permissions later
Yes, at any time in system settings, and the app will prompt again when the feature is used.

Keep permissions off for features you never use. If a permission turns itself back on, check whether you installed a non-official build.
