What's Wrong?
When using Claude Code app on Android, when Claude prompts a question with the askUserQuestion tool, the answers are provided with a hard limit on character count and an ellipsis that often cuts off the full description of your choices. Rotating the screen sometimes shows you a little more but in general you cannot usually see the full explanation of each possible response so it's impossible sometimes to make an informed decision using the app you
What Should Happen?
Either show the full response always or make the ellipsis tappable so that you can expose the rest of the answer or provide some other way to get the full description of each response

Steps to Reproduce
- Go into plan mode (note this isn't exclusive to plan mode though)
- Describe something that you want to discuss and ask it to ask you questions if it has any questions.
- When prompted for answers note that often the descriptions of the possible answers get cut off before you can have a full real understanding of what that option means.

This is not a duplicate of the issues noted above, none of them talk about the options presented for questions being cut-off

+1 — Android (Claude Code app). Same symptom:
AskUserQuestionanswer descriptions hit a hard character cap and end in a non-tappable ellipsis, so when the agent presents multiple options with non-trivial descriptions, the explanation past ~40-50 chars is unreachable. Rotating the device exposes a few more characters but never the full text. Makes it impossible to choose informedly between options whose distinguishing detail sits past the cutoff — defeats the purpose of the multi-option UI in plan mode and in any skill that usesAskUserQuestionfor decision points.A tappable expand-on-ellipsis (or a long-press → full-text overlay) would resolve it without changing the layout.
That's a very serious issue for app users. It also affects remote session usage via the app.
Closing for now — inactive for too long. Please open a new issue if this is still relevant.
Seems like it was fixed in a recent update.
