ChatGPT iPhone app turns Codex into remote control for coding jobs
OpenAI pushed another update to Codex in the ChatGPT iPhone app, adding ways to manage long-running coding jobs from a phone instead of a desktop. The app now leans harder into being a remote control for work that keeps running on a connected machine.
• Turn-completion notifications when jobs finish
• A /fork command to branch work mid-session
• Stronger reconnection and updated conversation UI
Codex mobile already lets users start tasks, review outputs, steer execution, and approve next steps while the code runs on a laptop, Mac mini, or devbox. The rollout hit iOS and Android across all plans, including Free and Go, and early use centers on always-on remote setups rather than local execution.
