Bybit App Tutorial: Mobile Setup and a First Trade

Install From an Official Source

Download Bybit only from the official App Store / Google Play listing or the QR code on Bybit's own site — never from a chat-shared APK.

Login and Referral

If you still need an account, use https://partner.bybit.com/b/34899 (code 34899). Enable biometrics for convenience, but keep 2FA on as well.

What the Bybit App Adds Beyond Basic Trading

A one-tap switch between the Demo balance and the live balance in the app header — this is the part most tutorials skip.

First Mobile Trade

Start on spot, confirm the amount decimals carefully, and review the fee estimate if the app shows one before you confirm.

Mobile Risk Controls

Avoid sharing deposit QR screenshots in public, lock the phone, and remove Bybit app access immediately from any lost or replaced device.

What Makes Bybit Different Day to Day

Bybit's bigger differentiator is Demo Trading and Copy Trading — most people never look past the signup flow to notice it.

Layer that on top of Copy Trading, and the cost picture on Bybit looks different from a generic exchange checklist.

the Unified Trading Account (UTA), which shares margin across spot, derivatives, and options round out the product, but none of it replaces reading the live fee schedule before you size a trade.

• Watch for: skipping Demo Trading entirely and opening leveraged futures on day one
• Also watch for: copying a leaderboard trader without checking their maximum drawdown, then panicking on the first red day
• Security basics still apply: 2FA, a withdrawal address whitelist plus a dedicated API key permission screen for bot or copy-trading users
