Access to powerful AI models is changing the way software developers get their jobs done, and while some of you may roll your eyes every time you hear about vibe coding, there\u2019s little denying that putting the right tools into the hands of capable devs can really enhance their productivity. Today we\u2019re taking an early look at a big upgrade on the way for one of the most popular options out there, as ChatGPT gets ready to bring Codex users a frequently demanded new feature.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Going back months now, Codex users have been taking to the likes of Github and Reddit to voice versions of the same complaint: While Anthropic\u2019s Claude offers the ability to work on coding tasks remotely, connecting to the agent on their PCs by way of their smartphones, Codex has lacked an equivalent ability. While some users have thrown together their own hacks to pull off something similar, demand for native support hasn\u2019t stopped.<\/p>\n

Looking through the changes present in version 1.2026.125 of ChatGPT for Android, we\u2019ve identified a number of text strings that seem to quite clearly reference exactly the sort of Codex smartphone control users have been craving:<\/p>\n

That\u2019s just the tip if the iceberg, and the more we dig, the more references we find to this being on the way:<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not yet able to bring you a preview of the tool in a usable state, but some screens we have managed to pull up hint at this coming support:<\/p>\n

Considering how long Codex users have been begging OpenAI for remote phone control, we really hope it\u2019s not much longer now before the company puts the finishing touches on it and deploys this upgrade to hordes of very eager devs.<\/p>\n
