The agent waits after finishing
Release a synchronous Voice Follow-up hook or disable it when it conflicts with the native agent workflow.
If a native agent appears to keep working for about five minutes after it has finished, Voice Follow-up may be waiting for a response from Agent Approve.
The stop hook is synchronous. It holds the native session open while the iOS prompt waits for a reply or for its five-minute timer to expire. Some native apps show that wait as continued work, and some queue your next prompt behind it.
Release the wait
- Respond to the Voice Follow-up prompt in Agent Approve.
- Use an explicit Dismiss action if the prompt offers one. Closing the sheet with the X only hides it; the request remains pending.
- In the native agent, use its cancel or escape action.
- If the native app offers Send now or a steering action for your queued prompt, use it.
The exact native control depends on the coding agent. When the wait ends without a reply, Agent Approve sends no follow-up message.
Prevent the wait
Open Agent Approve settings and disable Voice Follow-up. Leave Agent Completion on if you still want an alert when work finishes, then send the next instruction through the agent's native app.
