Claude web, desktop and mobile sessions will default to auto mode next week

Anthropic's Claude account announced on X that, starting next week, sessions in the Claude web, desktop and mobile apps will run in auto mode by default on Pro, Max and Team plans. Instead of asking the user to approve each step, an automated check blocks risky actions. Users can switch back to manual approval at any time.

Anthropic made the same change for Claude Code on Pro, Max and Team plans on August 14. At the time, it said auto mode's separate classifier caught 89% of dangerous commands in its testing, against 14% for manual approval.
