Summary

Claude's Remote Control feature has been significantly improved with better reliability, including the ability to start Code sessions directly from your phone, automatic reconnection after dropped connections, better syncing between devices, and new slash commands optimized for mobile.

  1. #1

    Last month you told us Remote Control was the thing you'd most like us to fix, so we've been working hard on reliability. Here's what's better today: 🧵

  2. #2

    You can now start a Claude Code session directly from your phone. Any machine running claude remote-control shows up as a device card at the top of the Code tab. Tap it, pick a directory, and it starts on that machine.

  3. #3

    Your phone now stays in sync with what's running on your machine. Resuming a session on your laptop keeps the phone on the live session instead of archiving it. When Claude Code exits, your phone shows it offline within seconds instead of leaving a stale session hanging around

  4. #4

    Dropped connections now recover on their own, so if you briefly close your laptop or switch wifi, it'll automatically reconnect.

  5. #5

    Your phone and CLI sessions also stay in sync on model and effort level, and heavy sessions open much faster on iOS. Slash commands work better from your phone too: • /clear resets the phone view • /compact shows a compaction marker • /diff opens the native diff sheet

    More improvements on the way! Make sure you're on the latest CLI, Desktop and mobile apps with auto-update on. Docs: code.claude.com/docs/en/remote…
