How do I access Claude on my phone?
Mobile Web Access
The simplest way to use Claude on your phone is to open a browser and go to claude.ai. The site is mobile-friendly, so you can sign in and chat just like on a computer. No app installation is needed.
Mobile web access works on any smartphone with a modern browser. You'll need an internet connection and your login credentials. The experience is similar to desktop, though the layout is optimized for smaller screens.
Official Mobile Apps
Anthropic offers official Claude apps for both iOS (iPhone) and Android. You can download them from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The apps provide a streamlined interface, push notifications, and sometimes features like voice input.
After installing, sign in with your existing Claude account or create a new one. The apps are free to download and use, with the same usage limits as the web version. Paid subscribers get the same benefits on mobile.
- Download from App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android)
- Sign in with your Claude account
- Use voice input on mobile (in some versions)
- Receive push notifications for responses
- Same account works across devices
Common mistakes
- Downloading unofficial apps that claim to be Claude; only use official apps from Anthropic.
- Thinking you need a separate account for mobile; your existing login works on all platforms.
- Assuming the mobile app has all desktop features; some advanced features may be limited or added later.
