If you haven't installed the app yet, download the Binance app. If you don't have an account, register on Binance first.

- One for BTC charts
- One for ETH charts
- One for trading
- One for asset overview
4. Better API Management

These push notifications keep you informed of market developments and account changes in real time.

5. Smoother P2P Trading
On mobile, you can quickly switch to your banking app or payment platform to complete payments without switching between windows on a computer.

Tips for Using Both Together
The best approach is using both, leveraging each one's strengths:
- Daily: Use the app — check market, receive notifications, quick trades, P2P operations
- For deep analysis: Use the web — charts, technical analysis, API management
- Security on both — keep security settings consistent across both platforms
- Regular web exports — monthly transaction record backups
Important Notes
Sync Issues
Data syncs in real time across both platforms. Orders placed on the app are visible on the web. Occasional delays of a few seconds may occur.
Security
- On the web, don't save passwords in the browser (especially on shared computers)
- Log out when done
- Don't use the web version on unsecured networks
- On the app, enable biometric lock to prevent unauthorized use
Version Differences
In rare cases, new features may launch on one platform first, with the other following shortly. Most features are available simultaneously on both.
Neither version is definitively better — it depends on your scenario. Install both and flexibly choose based on your current needs.
