Remote Control not available on Max plan — --help shows no remote-control option (v2.1.76)

Open 💬 10 comments Opened Mar 14, 2026 by joshchaotang

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.76
  • OS: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0, Apple Silicon M4 Pro)
  • Subscription: Max plan (Stripe, since 2026-02-06)
  • claude --help | grep -i remote returns empty
  • claude remote-control returns: "Remote Control is not yet enabled for your account"

Expected

Per the docs (https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control), Max subscribers should be able to run claude remote-control or use /remote-control to connect from the Claude iOS app.

Actual

  • --help has no remote-control related flags
  • /remote-control inside session: "not a recognized skill"
  • claude remote-control from shell: "not yet enabled for your account"
  • hasAvailableSubscription in ~/.claude.json shows false despite active Max plan

Request

Please enable the Remote Control feature flag for this account, or advise on any additional steps needed.
