[BUG] Model setting shows different value between desktop CLI and iOS remote session

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened May 15, 2026 by Naaman666 Closed May 18, 2026

Description

When using Claude Code with Remote Control enabled, the model setting displayed in the iOS app differs from what is set in the desktop CLI session.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start a Claude Code session on desktop CLI with a specific model (e.g. Sonnet 4.6 via /model sonnet)
  2. Connect to the same session via Remote Control on iOS (Claude mobile app)
  3. Run /model on iOS

Expected Behavior

Both clients show the same model — the one actually running the session.

Actual Behavior

Desktop CLI shows Sonnet 4.6, iOS remote session shows Opus (or vice versa). The two clients display different model values for the same session.

Impact

Confusing — it's unclear which model is actually being used. Makes it impossible to verify or change the model reliably from a remote client.

Environment

  • Claude Code CLI (Windows desktop)
  • iOS Claude app (Remote Control session)
