[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

  1. Launch Claude Code 2.1.139 (also reported on earlier 2.1.x).
  2. Wait for the tip rotation to surface: Tip: Get pinged on your phone when long tasks finish · enable push notifications in /config.
  3. Run /config.
  4. 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 /config should 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.
