Identical names are the easiest gap to exploit
App names can be imitated and icons approximated, but the developer name, listing entity and review pattern are hard to copy. Turn those into a fixed checking order and you can rule out most fakes within seconds.
What to prepare before you start
These five things cover almost every delay people run into: Know the official name and brand spelling of the platform you want.
Compare the developer name field, not just the app title. Look at the release date and version history.
If the official page publishes a store link, jump from there instead.
Five checks before downloading
Confirm each item; if any fails, do not download: Developer name: must match the entity the platform publishes exactly.
Listing entity: the entity shown at the foot of the page should match official information. Ratings and volume: official apps usually have a long history of reviews.
Update recency: official apps update regularly, so a stale build is suspect. Permission requests: anything unrelated to trading, such as contacts or SMS, is a warning sign.
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 iOS listing shows developer and language support, which you can compare with the site footer entity. If search returns similarly named apps, prefer the store link published on the official site.
Frequently asked questions
Two apps look identical.
Which is real
Decide by the developer name and the store link on official pages; when unsure, install neither.
Does few reviews mean it is new
Possibly. Official apps usually have long histories, so be careful with recent listings with almost no reviews.
I downloaded a fake.
What now
Uninstall immediately, and if you entered credentials change your password and lock the account at once.

Do not judge authenticity by icon colour or layout. Report suspected fakes to both the app store and official support.
