[BUG] Session names don't sync between Claude macOS app and Android app (both directions)
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Apr 30, 2026 by leithl Closed Jun 1, 2026
Summary
Renaming a Claude Code session on one device doesn't propagate to the same
session viewed on the other device. Sync is broken in both directions —
desktop→mobile AND mobile→desktop.
Repro
- On the Claude macOS app, hit Remote Control on an active session and name it
"Report Claude mobile image-upload bug"
- Open the same session on the Android app
- Mobile shows the session as the literal string
"1."(not picked up
from the desktop-set name)
- Rename it on mobile to "bug reporting"
- Switch back to the macOS app — desktop still shows the original
"Report Claude mobile image-upload bug" name; the mobile rename did
not propagate either
Expected
Session name set on either device propagates to the other within a few
seconds. Whichever device renamed last wins.
Actual
Each device retains its own local name. Neither rename reaches the other
device. The mobile-side default name appears to be a literal placeholder
("1.") rather than picking up the desktop-set name at all.
Environment
- Desktop: Claude macOS app
- Mobile: Claude Android app 1.260423.20, Pixel 10 XL, Android 16
- Date observed: 2026-04-30
