[BUG] Misleading tip: "enable push notifications in /config" — no such setting exists in /config
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened May 12, 2026 by TheDiscordian Closed Jun 11, 2026
Summary
The Claude Code TUI shows the following tip:
Tip: Get pinged on your phone when long tasks finish · enable push notifications in /config
However, /config contains no push-notification toggle. Push notifications are actually delivered via Remote Control (pair the Claude mobile app to the session via /remote / QR code), and they ride along with that pairing — there is no separate enable switch in /config.
This sends users hunting through /config for a setting that does not exist.
Repro
- Launch Claude Code 2.1.139 (also reported on earlier 2.1.x).
- Wait for the tip rotation to surface:
Tip: Get pinged on your phone when long tasks finish · enable push notifications in /config. - Run
/config. - Observe: no push notification option anywhere in the menu.
Expected
Either:
- The tip should reference the correct mechanism, e.g.
enable Remote Control via /remote and pair the Claude mobile app—Claude - Or
/configshould actually expose a push-notification toggle that maps onto Remote Control state.
Environment
- Claude Code 2.1.139
- Linux (CachyOS, kernel 6.19.x), Hyprland
- Reported by user; issue filed on their behalf by Claude.
