The Blizzard Battle.net Mobile App lets you stay connected with your friends wherever you are. Chat with friends, see what game they're playing, and add new ones - right from your mobile device.

Chat with friends:
With mobile chat, it's easier to coordinate play time, discuss strategies, or just stay in touch. Even if your friends are unavailable or offline, chat history and notifications keep the conversation going.

See what your friends are playing:
You can see at a glance what all your friends are up to, so you know when to jump into a game – or when to get one going yourself. Never miss an opportunity to play together.

Add new friends on the go:
All the features for managing and adding friends on the Battle.net Desktop App are now on your phone. Send and receive friend requests, browse friend suggestions, or even scan a QR code to easily add friends in person.

Airtime or Wi-Fi connection required for use.

Seven Days on the Battlegrounds
All this week, heading to the Battlegrounds will net you some extra Honor along with bonus loot for completing this week’s quest. To enter the fray, open Group Finder (default hotkey: I) and then select the Player vs. Player tab. Next choose Casual, select Random Battlegrounds, and hit the Join Battle button—you’ll be matched up with other players and sent to one of the 11 battlegrounds.

Weekly Quest
Before you get started, Archmage Timear near Violet Hold in Dalaran has a quest for you. Win four random Battlegrounds, and you’ll be rewarded with 5 Marks of Honor, a Badge of Honor (1000 Honor), and a Glory of the Melee Artifact Power token (base 500 AP).

Battleground Buff
This week you gain 50% more Honor in Battlegrounds.

A New Event Every Week
The Bonus Events system consists of a rotating schedule of different activities, currently scheduled to run each week beginning on Tuesdays. Each Bonus Event grants a passive bonus to a particular game activity and offers a once-per-event quest with a noteworthy reward for accomplishing a related goal. The in-game calendar can serve as your one-stop reference for the event schedule. The Adventure Guide also offers a direct link to active Bonus Events, allowing you to easily accept any associated quests.

    Blizzard caved in to filthy casuals complaining... what a surprise.

    And yet we still don't have offline mode.

    It does baffle me why we now have 4 Blizzard apps. The very least they could do is merge this new one with the Authenticator, and preferably the guild one too. Prune the shit like armoury out and just keep guild chat/in-game calendar/AH. That puts 3 into one. Or even Legion Companion + WoW Armoury into one if the non-WoW players don't want WoW stuff in the "blizzard" app.

    So now thats 4 Blizzard Apps just to have a few mobile functions. Thats getting abit too much. Chuck the Blizzard Authenticator and the new Battle.Net app together, and then The Legion Mission app and the WoW Armory together. Boom, one app for all the Blizzard needs, and the other for your WoW needs.

    Could they not have combined the Authenticator with this?

    What this has to do with “casuals” (what people with ego problems and micro-peens call other paying customers) idk.

    I remembered we all asked for armory to add PM since day 1 but they insist to put only guild chat; now suddenly we got it... in another app.
    Edit: installed the app and apparently it is not working.

    Account-wide access to World Quests and treasures in Antoran Wastes is now allowed once "The Assault Begins" chapter of the Argus campaign has been completed.
    Account-wide access to Invasion Points and Greater Invasion Points is now allowed once the "Dark Awakenings" chapter of the Argus campaign has been completed.
    Might as well make the Krokul Flute available to alts as well. But I guess it doesnt matter, since they actually want us to grind all alts to exalted for the Permanent Augment Rune.

    i'm not installing 3rd blizzard app for a function that could easily be integrated in any of previous two.
    that's just a lazy project management and dev cycle.

    It doesn't work, at all.

    Will this one leave a few gigs of hidden data on my phone if I uninstall it like the Legion app did?

    Do we need World Boss updates anymore if they give us 860 ilvl gear and transmog that most of us already have?

    This is false. Invasions are not unlocked.

    "Airtime or Wi-Fi connection required for use." for the app.

    How is it REQUIRED? I'd understand if it was suggested. Anyways, seems to work without Wi-fi despite this comment.

    Unlocking the WQ will be nice when they get it to work. On the other hand it's still a pointless change as you need to do the questchain to unlock the MacAree WQs which aren't unlocked accountwide. If they allow you to jump straight to the MacAree point of the chain, though, that's different.
