[Bug] Android app intercepts remote-control URL but doesn't load the session

Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Jun 4, 2026 by HorizonTeck Closed Jul 10, 2026

Description

When using /remote-control in Claude Code, a QR code is generated and the UI switches to "Remote Control Active". However, on Android, scanning the QR code or tapping the link opens the Claude mobile app via deeplink instead of loading the remote control session — the app opens blank/empty without loading the conversation.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run /remote-control in Claude Code (desktop)
  2. On Android, scan the QR code or open the link (e.g. from a shared URL)
  3. The Claude Android app opens but does not load the remote control session

Expected Behavior

The remote control session should load and allow controlling the desktop Claude Code instance from the mobile device.

Actual Behavior

The Android app intercepts the URL via deeplink but doesn't handle the remote-control path — the session never loads.

Workaround

Copy the link manually and open it in the Android browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) instead of letting the app intercept it. This works correctly.

Environment

  • Platform: Android
  • Feature: /remote-control (Claude Code CLI)

Notes

This appears to be a missing deeplink route in the Android app for the remote-control URL path.
