Mobile: Edit approval dialog overlaps with keyboard, causing accidental rejection

Description

When using Claude Code on a mobile device (iOS/Android Claude app), the file edit approval/rejection dialog appears at the same position as the on-screen keyboard. If the user is typing a message while an edit request comes in, the "Reject" button appears exactly where the keyboard keys are, causing accidental rejection of legitimate edits.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code on a mobile device (e.g. iPhone)
  2. Start a conversation that involves file edits
  3. While Claude is working, start typing a follow-up message
  4. When an edit approval dialog appears, the Reject/Accept buttons overlap with the keyboard area
  5. Tapping on the keyboard inadvertently hits "Reject"

Expected Behavior

The approval dialog should be positioned so it does not overlap with the keyboard. Possible solutions:

  • Show the dialog above the keyboard area
  • Dismiss the keyboard when the dialog appears
  • Add a confirmation step before rejection
  • Use a swipe gesture instead of tap buttons

Impact

This is quite frustrating in practice. Users lose work when edits are accidentally rejected, and it breaks the flow of collaboration. Especially problematic during long sessions where Claude is making multiple file changes.

Environment

  • Claude mobile app (iOS)
  • Observed during Claude Code sessions with file editing
