[BUG] Remote Control feature advertised for Pro plan subscribers is inaccessible / not working
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
The Remote Control feature for Claude Code is advertised on the official Anthropic website as available for Pro plan subscribers and higher tiers. However, when attempting to use this feature, it is completely inaccessible — there is no option to enable or access it within Claude Code, despite having an active Pro subscription.
Steps to reproduce:
- Subscribe to Anthropic Pro plan
- 2. Install and run Claude Code (latest version)
- 3. Attempt to find or enable the Remote Control feature as described on the official website
- 4. Feature is not available / no way to enable it
Expected behavior: The Remote Control feature should be accessible and functional for Pro plan subscribers, as stated on the official Anthropic website.
Actual behavior: The Remote Control feature is completely missing or inaccessible in Claude Code, even with an active Pro subscription. There is no menu, toggle, or documentation explaining how to activate it.
What Should Happen?
The Remote Control feature should be available and functional for all Pro plan subscribers and higher tiers, as explicitly advertised on the official Anthropic website. As a developer who frequently needs to work on-the-go, this feature is critical for my workflow. The feature should be enabled on my account and accessible directly within Claude Code without any additional manual setup or workarounds.
Error Messages/Logs
No error messages are displayed. The Remote Control feature simply does not appear in the Claude Code interface. There is no error, no toggle, and no entry point to enable it — the feature is entirely absent from the UI despite being listed as available for Pro subscribers on the official website.
Steps to Reproduce
- Subscribe to Anthropic Pro plan (or have an active Pro subscription)
- 2. Install Claude Code and ensure it is updated to the latest version (
claude --version) - 3. Open Claude Code in the terminal
- 4. Search for any "Remote Control" option in the settings, help menu, or documentation
- 5. No such feature exists or is accessible in the interface

Additional Information
I am a developer who frequently works on-the-go and relies on remote access to my development environment. The Remote Control feature was a key reason for upgrading to the Pro plan, as it is explicitly listed as a Pro benefit on the official Anthropic website. Please enable this feature for Pro subscribers or provide guidance on how to access it. This is blocking my workflow and I would appreciate a prompt resolution.
