Push Notifications for Permission Requests During Remote Sessions

ChatGPT Feature requests
1

I’d love to see ChatGPT send push notifications to my phone when a permission request appears during a remote session.

For example, when I’m controlling ChatGPT remotely from my phone and the desktop session requires my approval (such as granting permission to run a tool or access a resource), I may not be actively watching the screen. As a result, the session can stall while waiting for my response.

A push notification that alerts me to pending permission requests would make remote sessions much smoother. Tapping the notification could take me directly to the approval screen, allowing me to quickly approve or deny the request without constantly monitoring the session.

This would significantly improve the experience for users who manage long-running tasks remotely from their phones.

Hey @koenigpatrick, welcome to the community!

This would be a helpful addition for remote sessions, especially when progress pauses for an approval while you’re away from the screen. Being able to handle approvals from the mobile app already helps, but a push notification that takes you directly to the pending request would make it much easier to keep longer-running tasks moving without constantly checking the session.

I can’t promise or share a timeline for changes like this, but I’ll pass along your suggestion for actionable notifications when permission requests are waiting.
