Description
Artifacts published from Claude Code sessions via the Artifact tool render fine on desktop, but on a phone they are effectively unreachable for a non-technical user:
- Direct links fail or bounce. Tapping a
https://claude.ai/code/artifact/<id>link on iPhone either gets intercepted by the Claude mobile app (which doesn't render Code artifacts), lands on a sign-in screen with no clear path back to the artifact, or shows not-found when the browser session is signed in to a different account. - No discoverability in the mobile app. There is no visible gallery/section in the Claude mobile app where Code-published artifacts can be found, so a user who loses the link has no way to get back to their artifact from their phone.
Expected
- Opening an artifact link on mobile should render the artifact after sign-in (with a sign-in flow that returns to the artifact).
- The Claude mobile app should either render Code artifacts or hand the link off to the browser cleanly.
- Artifacts should be findable from mobile (gallery parity with desktop).
Environment
- Claude Code CLI on macOS (darwin 25.5.0), model claude-fable-5
- Artifact published with the built-in Artifact tool (private, owner-only)
- Viewer: iPhone (Claude iOS app installed; Safari)
Steps to reproduce
- In a Claude Code session on desktop, publish an HTML artifact with the Artifact tool.
- On an iPhone with the Claude app installed, open the returned
claude.ai/code/artifact/…link (e.g. from a text message). - Observe the link does not lead to the rendered artifact.
