Sync conversations between Claude Desktop app and Claude Mobile Android

Currently, conversations started in the Claude Desktop app are not visible in the Claude Mobile app (Android/iOS), even when using the same account. This has been an issue for over a week and there is no workaround within the desktop app itself.
Expected behavior: Conversations should sync across all Claude clients (Desktop, Mobile, Web) when logged into the same account.
Current behavior: Desktop app conversations are completely isolated — they do not appear on mobile or web.
Workaround needed: Users are forced to use the browser version instead of the desktop app to access conversations on mobile.
Please add cross-device conversation sync for the Claude Desktop app.

Hi Anthropic Support,

I'm writing to report a syncing issue between the Claude Desktop app and the Claude mobile app that is significantly impacting my workflow.

Issue:
Conversations started in the Claude Desktop app are not appearing in the Claude mobile app, even though I am signed into the same account on both devices. I rely on my Mac (desktop app) for in-depth work and my phone when on the go, so this sync failure makes it impossible to continue conversations seamlessly across devices.

My Setup:

  • Device 1: Mac (older model) using the Claude Desktop app
  • Device 2: iPhone/Android using the Claude mobile app
  • Same Anthropic account on both

Impact:

  • I have significant existing work and conversation history in the Desktop app that I cannot access on my phone
  • I am unable to use the browser workaround without losing all my existing Desktop app conversations
  • My productivity across devices is completely broken

Reference:
This issue has also been reported by other users here:
https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/58477

Request:
Please prioritize a fix for Desktop app conversation syncing, and if possible, provide a way to export or migrate existing Desktop app conversations to the web/mobile platform in the meantime.

Thank you for your help.

@WashingtonSV this issue is closed and marked as wrong place. i do not think it gets any attention here. . moreover you linked the same thread you are writing in, in your post?! might be worth a look and a new thread at the right place?
