What's this about?
Anthropic said Remote Control was the single thing users most asked them to fix last month, and shipped a set of reliability improvements for it. The tweet drew 10,360 likes, which for a bug-fix announcement indicates how much the pain was felt.
What exactly is "Remote Control"?
It lets you drive a Claude Code session running on one machine from somewhere else — typically kicking off or checking on work from your phone while the actual agent runs on your development machine. The reliability problem matters more here than in most features, because a dropped connection mid-task on a long-running agent means losing the work, not just the view.
What's the community saying?
The response is mostly relief rather than debate. The notable framing is that Anthropic publicly named it as the top user complaint before fixing it, which several replies singled out as the right way to handle a known-bad feature.
