Summary
Push notifications from Claude Code Remote Control arrive silently on iPhone — no sound and no vibration, regardless of iOS notification settings.
Environment
- Device: iPhone 15 Pro (iOS)
- Claude app: latest version
- Feature: Remote Control (push notifications via
PushNotificationtool)
Steps to Reproduce
- Connect iPhone to Claude Code via Remote Control
- Trigger a push notification (e.g., via
PushNotificationtool or long-running task completion) - Observe notification arrives in notification center with no sound or vibration
Expected Behavior
Notification arrives with sound and/or vibration, consistent with other apps.
Actual Behavior
Notification arrives silently. No sound, no vibration.
What I've Tried
- Disabled Focus/Do Not Disturb mode
- Disabled "Attention Aware Features"
- Verified Claude app notification settings: Banner, Sound, Badge all enabled
- Restarted iPhone and Claude app
- All other apps with same settings produce sound + vibration normally
Notes
The notification payload appears to be sent as silent — iOS settings alone cannot override this. The app likely needs to include sound and/or badge in the APNs payload.

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 Linux and iphone. I also get silent notifications. The display doesn't brighten up when notification arrives and there is no sound. However, if i manually unlock the phone (or even touch the display), then i see Claude notification waiting for "permissions"! So annoying, basically if Claude code is working in terminal on the Linux box, then i have to manually keep checking the iphone screen, to see if there are any new notifications from Claude code. Please guys, fix this!
This has been fixed, thanks for reporting!
