Deriv App Download: The Official Deriv Apps, MT5 and cTrader, and How to Avoid Fake APKs
Quick answer: Download Deriv apps only from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, published by Deriv, or use deriv.com in your browser. For MT5 install MetaTrader 5 by MetaQuotes; for cTrader install cTrader by Spotware, then log in with your Deriv details. Never install a "Deriv" APK from Telegram, WhatsApp or download sites; fake apps steal logins.

How to Install Safely on Android

  1. Open the Google Play Store app (not a website).
  2. Search "Deriv" and check the developer name is Deriv.
  3. Check the number of downloads and recent reviews.
  4. Install, open, and log in. Turn on two-factor authentication in settings.

Using Deriv on a PC

You do not need an app on a computer: open deriv.com in Chrome, Edge or Firefox for Deriv Trader and Deriv Bot. For MT5, download the desktop terminal from the link in your Deriv account. Avoid "Deriv for PC" downloads from third-party sites.

How to Spot a Fake Deriv App

Already installed a fake? Uninstall it, change your Deriv and email passwords, turn on two-factor authentication and delete any API tokens you do not recognise (see API tokens).

Risk warning: Trading Deriv products such as digit options, multipliers and synthetic indices is high-risk. You can lose all the money you deposit, quickly. No bot, signal or strategy can guarantee profit, and past results do not predict future results. Practise on a demo account first, only trade money you can afford to lose, and check that Deriv is allowed where you live. This guide is education, not financial advice.
