Is there a WoW app? What you can install in 2026
Updated on
No, there is no official World of Warcraft app anymore. Blizzard retired the WoW Companion App on July 23, 2024 and the Mobile Armory app on July 11, 2018, and has announced no replacement. What Blizzard still publishes for phones is the Battle.net app, for friends, chat, news, the shop and the Authenticator, and Warcraft Rumble, a separate game. Character tracking on a phone now comes from fan made apps such as VaultAlts.
Below: what is on the App Store and Google Play under Blizzard's name as of September 21, 2026, what was removed and when, and which app does which job today.
VaultAltsRosterVaultAltsGreat VaultWhat a WoW app can do for you in 2026:
- Show every character's Great Vault, keys and raid kills away from the PC
- Look up any character on any realm, as the old Armory app did
- Follow the WoW Token price and the weekly reset in your region
- Chat with Battle.net friends and approve logins with the Authenticator
VaultAlts covers the first three, free on iOS, Android and the web, with a read only Blizzard login. The Battle.net app covers the fourth.
What Blizzard publishes for phones in 2026
Two apps by Blizzard relate to Warcraft on the App Store and Google Play, and neither shows your World of Warcraft characters. Both were checked on .
| App | What it is | Shows your WoW characters? | Last store update |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battle.net | Friends list and chat, news and patch notes, the shop, account settings, the Battle.net Authenticator and support tickets. On the App Store since . | No | |
| Warcraft Rumble | A standalone mobile strategy game in the Warcraft universe, released . | No; it is a separate game | on iOS, on Android |
So the honest answer to "does WoW have an app" is: for the account, yes (Battle.net); for the game and your characters, no. The Armory, Blizzard's character profile pages, is a website at worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com and works in a phone browser; the WoW Armory app page covers what happened to the app version.

The full list of fan made apps, with what each one's store listing claims and when it was last updated, is on best WoW companion apps in 2026. Every one of them reads Blizzard's public API, which is read only: no app can act on your account, only show it.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a WoW app for iPhone?
Not from Blizzard, beyond the Battle.net app for chat, news and the Authenticator. For your characters, fan made apps on the App Store do the job: VaultAlts for every character's Great Vault and weekly progress, WoWSkill for lookups, and Guild HQ for a guild's raid roster.
Is there a WoW app for Android?
The same picture as iOS: the Battle.net app from Blizzard, and fan made apps on Google Play for characters. VaultAlts and RealmMate show a whole roster; Mythic Codex and WoWSkill look up one character at a time.
Is there still a WoW app from Blizzard?
Only Battle.net. The WoW Companion App was retired on July 23, 2024 with The War Within pre-patch, the Mobile Armory app on July 11, 2018, and Blizzard has announced no replacement for either.
What is the WoW app login?
For the Battle.net app, your Battle.net account. For VaultAlts, also your Battle.net account, entered on Blizzard's own login page; the app receives a read only token for your characters and never sees your password. Lookup apps such as WoWSkill need no login at all.
Does WoW have an Auction House app?
No. The mobile Auction House went away with the Companion App on July 23, 2024, and no app has offered it since. The Auction House is in game only.
