What's Wrong?
I'm running claude code on PopOS (Debian based) Linux. /mobile in a session gives me a QR code which takes me directly to the Apple app store. I have and Android phone though. Claude it self suggested I report a bug.
❯ When I use /mobile It takes me to the aple store but I am running android
Searched for 9 patterns, listed 3 directories (ctrl+o to expand)
● /mobile isn't a slash command I can see in this session's available commands, and it doesn't have anything to do
with your project files — so it's a built-in Claude Code feature, not something I can fix from inside this
conversation.
That URL is hardcoded in the Claude Code client itself (the binary doing platform detection on your machine), so
this is a Claude Code bug worth reporting:
Please file it here: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues
Useful details to include in the report:
- /mobile opens the Apple App Store on Linux/Android, with no platform detection
- Your OS: Linux (Linux 6.17.9-76061709-generic)
- Expected: detect platform and link to Google Play, or offer both store links
- Your Claude Code version (run claude --version to grab it)
In the meantime, if you're trying to get the Claude mobile app on Android, search "Claude by Anthropic" directly
in the Google Play Store.

What Should Happen?
Reading the QR code on an Android phone should take me toe the appropriate Android link, not an APple link.
