Mobile Q&A and plan review
Route supported agent questions to your iPhone instead of answering in the terminal.
Mobile Q&A is separate from Voice Follow-up. It controls where supported in-session questions are answered, while Voice Follow-up can ask for another instruction after an agent finishes a turn.
Mobile Q&A is off by default. With the setting off, supported questions remain in the agent's terminal. Turn it on when you want those questions to appear in Agent Approve on your iPhone.
Turn it on
- Open Settings in the iOS app.
- Under Notifications, turn on Mobile Q&A.
- Keep the iPhone available when the agent asks its next supported question.
The question appears as an approval-style request with the choices supplied by the agent. Submit your answer from the iPhone. The integration returns the selected answer to the active agent session.
Current scope
Mobile Q&A is used by the Claude Code question flow. It applies to supported question tools, not every terminal prompt or free-form input request. The agent session must remain active long enough to receive the answer.
| Integration | Mobile Q&A and plan questions |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | Supported when its question tool fires the installed pre-tool hook. |
| All other current integrations | Not currently supported. Questions remain in the native agent interface. |
Plan review does not use a separate transport. It appears on the phone only when a supported agent exposes the plan question through the same hook path.
Claude Code 2.1.199 and later require the hook to return the plan together with the approval. If approving a plan on the phone leaves the terminal chooser on screen, refresh the hooks with npx agentapprove install and start a new session. See Approving a plan does not continue Claude Code.
When the agent asks only in its own app
Agent Approve can only show questions that the coding agent exposes to hooks. Some integrations display their question tool without firing a pre-tool hook, so the question cannot appear in Agent Approve.
Cursor currently has this limitation for its AskQuestion tool in both the IDE and CLI. Cursor staff have acknowledged the missing hook event as a known issue. Answer the question in Cursor until its hook surface changes. See the Cursor issue report for the reported behavior.
Hermes Agent does not read Mobile Q&A for Voice Follow-up. Changing Mobile Q&A will not enable or disable Hermes follow-up prompts.
If a Claude Code question stays in the terminal, confirm that Mobile Q&A is on, then rerun npx agentapprove install to refresh the Claude Code hooks and configuration. If it stays in the terminal right after an update or reinstall, see A question stays in the native agent. If another integration keeps the question in its own interface, use that interface unless the capability reference says Mobile Q&A is supported.
