iOS and Android launch is officially confirmed for September 23. Use the official store, check your device, and match the account and server holding your character. Pre-download began a day earlier; installation and a successful server connection are still separate checks.
Mobile opening is confirmed; pre-download is now history
The September 23 launch announcement confirms that native iOS and Android service has launched. Its three regional opening rows describe September 23 at 02:00 UTC. This replaces our earlier date-only guidance; we are not assuming the hour from the PC launch.
| Server region | Announced opening |
|---|---|
| Americas | September 22, 2026 · 22:00 (UTC−4) |
| Europe | |
| APAC | September 23, 2026 · 10:00 (UTC+8) |
These are launch-history times, not a live status check. A server error now needs its own diagnosis: see mobile login and missing-progress checks, and use the official notice for new maintenance messages.
For reference, pre-download began September 22, 2026 at 00:00 UTC+8, equivalent to September 21 at 16:00 UTC (09:00 PDT / 12:00 EDT). This earlier download window must not be reused as a current server-opening countdown.
Use the official iOS or Android listing
Open the store for your device and verify the developer before installing. Our iOS link is the United States listing; your store may display its own regional availability and compatibility message.
The App Store seller is Pawprint Interactive Entertainment; Google Play lists Pawprint Studio and package com.x.aniimos. Store labels such as “Expected,” “Pre-register” or “Install” do not by themselves prove that your mobile server is open. Do not use an unofficial APK mirror, configuration profile or a paid “early unlock.” We do not collect game credentials or proxy the installation.
Before downloading: storage, device and connection
- Check the actual device model. Compare the chipset, operating system and RAM with the official mobile requirements. A newer Android version alone is not a complete compatibility check.
- Reserve 18 GB of available storage. That is the studio chart’s mobile figure, not a claim that the store download is exactly 18 GB. Leave room for normal installation and subsequent updates; no extra fixed allowance is asserted here.
- Use a stable connection. Our preparation suggestion is Wi-Fi and sufficient battery or power for a large install. Follow the client’s own resource prompts rather than assuming the store package completes every resource download.
- Keep your account details private. Note the account and server holding your current character before the first mobile sign-in. Never share login codes to obtain access.
Continue an existing character: match account and server
The official FAQ says progress is shared across platforms within the same server; different servers keep separate progress. Prepare the Aniimo Pass or linked login method used for your existing character, not simply another sign-in button with a similar email address.
If a first-login screen asks you to link an email, read it before continuing. The September 22 mobile FAQ describes the Link Email prompt. Use the email associated with your existing game account; seek support for skipped links or overlapping existing accounts instead of assuming an automatic merge. A console’s first-login restriction is also not the same as Steam’s later-link route. Follow our mobile account checklist before attempting any account changes.
For an apparently missing character, check the account, provider and server before creating another character. Existing beta rewards and Bond Egg issues have separate eligibility and claim guidance; reinstalling is not a universal remedy.
The September 22 mobile FAQ now explains the general Link Email prompt for first-time third-party login. Use the email belonging to the existing game account or previous registration; verify the provider and server before continuing. One email may link multiple third-party platform accounts, but each third-party account can link to only one email. This is not a promise to merge duplicate accounts or transfer a character between servers.
The older September 15 reward notice discusses new users and specific existing-character exceptions. Its warning to seek support for character-preserving relinking still matters, but it should not replace the later general mobile instructions. Read the actual prompt; when two existing accounts or a prior skipped link are involved, stop and ask official support rather than assume a safe automatic merge.
Installed but cannot enter? Use the launch-day checks
Mobile is no longer merely waiting for its announced launch date. For connection errors, missing characters, resource downloads or missing rewards, use the mobile symptom checklist. Check current official notices before treating an error as an outage or as an account problem.
Do not unlink, delete a character or clear app data as a first experiment. Do not use desktop DirectX or Steam Input instructions on the native mobile app.
Good questions.
When does Aniimo mobile pre-download start?
The official post announces September 22, 2026 at 00:00 UTC+8, equivalent to September 21 at 16:00 UTC, 09:00 PDT or 12:00 EDT.
Is Aniimo mobile playable now?
The September 23 official announcement confirms native iOS and Android launch at 02:00 UTC, or 10:00 UTC+8. It does not certify current health of every server or compatibility of every device.
Will my PC character be on mobile?
Official guidance supports shared progress on the same account and server. Different servers have independent progress, and login-provider or linking mistakes require separate checks.
Is Aniimo mobile an 18 GB store download?
The studio chart asks for 18 GB of available storage. That is not a measured package size or a guarantee that later resource updates require no extra room.
