# Cloud Android

> Run real Android phones in the cloud from the Gologin app: who can use it, limits, how to run a phone, install apps and add a proxy.

**Cloud Android** lets you run real Android phones in the cloud right from the Gologin app - no physical phone needed. Each Cloud Android profile is a separate phone with its own apps and data, so you can work with mobile apps (for example, Instagram) the same way you work with browser profiles.

## Who can use it

Cloud Android is free for all paid Gologin plans. Users on the free trial can also use it during the trial if they registered with Google.

| | Phones running at the same time | Time limit |
| - | - | - |
| Trial (Google sign-up) | 1 | No limit |
| Paid plans | up to 10 | No limit |

## Creating and running a Cloud Android profile

![Cloud Android](https://mintcdn.com/gologin/dz-gTLj-fXfy-6M4/images/cloud_android.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=dz-gTLj-fXfy-6M4\&q=85\&s=f2e18d45f10d004e0cc1a14b44b878a4)

1. Click **Cloud Android** in the left menu.
2. Click **Add Android Profile**.
3. Set up the proxies and other settings.
4. Click **Run** on the profile. Starting a phone can take **up to 2 minutes**.
5. When the profile is **running**, click **View** to open the phone window.
6. To finish, click **Stop**.

The number of phones running now is shown at the top of the page (**Currently running**).

## Working with the phone

The phone window has the standard Android buttons plus tools on the right side - for example, screenshots, uploading and downloading files, rotating the screen, volume, location and power.

Install apps through the app stores on the phone, such as **Aurora Store**, **F-Droid** or **Uptodown**. Apps, logins and other data stay inside the profile between launches.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Not every Android app works in Cloud Android. If an app doesn't open, try its website in the browser instead.

## Proxies

Cloud Android phones run on Gologin servers, so without a proxy, websites and apps see the server's IP address, not yours. Add a proxy to the profile the same way as for browser profiles - all proxy types are supported, including Gologin proxies and your own. Mobile proxies look the most natural for a phone, but any type works.

## Inactivity timeout

If a running phone has no activity for **15 minutes**, it stops automatically. Your data is saved.
