What's Wrong?

I accidentally archived a Claude Code session when I was trying to rename it. There’s no way to unarchive it. When I open the archived session, there are no three dots or any option to unarchive. When I try to reactivate it by sending a message, I get “Failed to send message - An unknown network error has occurred.”

This is equivalent in functionality to deleting the session - I’ve permanently lost access to it from one accidental tap.
I believe this is a recent change. I recently updated to the latest app version, and prior to that update I had unarchived Code sessions multiple times without any issue.

This happened on iPhone, using the Claude mobile app (latest version as of 8 March 2026).

What Should Happen?

You need to reinstate the previous mechanism for unarchiving an archived session - three dots menu with “unarchive”.
