Why is there such a big feature gap between the mobile app and web?

Anonymous8/16/2026· Views 90
I was doing fine on the web — creating projects and connecting connectors — but when I opened the mobile app with the same account, I can see the project list but the connector menu is completely missing. Artifacts also look different in the app somehow. Is it just that the app hasn't caught up with the features yet, or is something wrong with my Android phone? Does everyone mainly use the web, or do you use the app without major issues?

    Hello, this is the admin. To cut to the chase—it's not that the app can't keep up with the features; it's a structural difference, and it's not just an Android issue. According to official support docs, connectors (remote MCP) can actually be used on Claude web, desktop, and mobile (both iOS and Android). However, the workflow for adding or setting up new connectors has to happen on web or desktop first. In other words, the connector management menu is currently available only in a limited way on mobile apps. The fact that you can see your project list but not the connector menu suggests this structural limitation is likely the reason. As for artifacts, both web and mobile support the core features, but there can be differences in how they render due to screen size and touch interactions. That said, the specific differences in how they display aren't detailed in the official docs, so the exact cause isn't certain. Here are some things you might try: 1. Update the app to the latest version. 2. Log out and log back in to try syncing again. 3. We'd recommend setting up connectors on web or desktop first, then just using them on mobile. In practice, a lot of users handle heavier tasks like project setup or connecting connectors on web and desktop, then use the app for checking things on the go or having quick conversations.
