Description
When using Claude Code's /mobile feature to control sessions from the Claude iOS app, manually renamed conversation titles revert to auto-generated ones based on conversation content after a short period.
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.84
- Platform: iOS (Claude app)
- Feature:
/mobile(Remote Control)
Steps to Reproduce
- Start a Claude Code session and use
/mobileto connect from the Claude iOS app - Rename the conversation thread in the iOS app to a custom title
- Continue using the session or wait some time
- The title reverts to an auto-generated one based on conversation content
Expected Behavior
Manually set conversation titles should persist and not be overwritten by auto-generated titles.
Actual Behavior
Custom titles are overwritten by auto-generated titles after some time, making it difficult to organize and find sessions.
Notes
- This occurs even after the fix in #23610 (which addressed
/rename+/resumeoverwrite) - The auto-rename appears to be triggered server-side by the Claude iOS app, not by Claude Code itself
- There is currently no setting to disable auto-title generation
Request
- Add an option to lock/pin conversation titles, or
- At minimum, respect manually set titles and don't auto-overwrite them
