OpenAI released a preview of Codex inside the ChatGPT iOS and Android apps. The update allows users to start coding tasks, review outputs, and approve individual steps from a phone while the agent keeps running on a linked laptop or development machine. Users have extended the capability with setups such as Codex computer-use mode on macOS paired with iPhone Mirroring for cursor control inside apps on a connected iPhone.
@romainhuet They did it again!
You were all asking for it, it’s here! 📲
Now you can step away from your laptop and keep building with Codex from your phone.
Available in ChatGPT iOS and Android now!
Positive users praise the ChatGPT App's Codex for smooth mobile coding freedom, QR remote control, and desktop sync because the features feel liberating and slick, while negative users complain about bugs, Windows neglect, and Mac bias.

This is crazy.
My MacBook Pro is closed at home and shouldn’t be on, but I just connected to Codex and am able to code and access my laptop from my phone.
Maybe it’s because I enabled computer use? Whatever it is thank you @sama I love it.
using codex from the ChatGPT app is such a freeing experience. makes you realize how tethered you normally are to your computer.
Thanks for the feedback on Codex in the ChatGPT mobile app. While it’s in preview, we’re working to improve it fast.
What you can expect next: push notifications, /fork, ability to restore after revoking, better reconnects, fixing the ability to control other devices, fewer mobile thread errors, better git diff & full-file, no plan mode issues, and lots more polish/bug fixes.
Recommend trying the new remote control feature through the ChatGPT app if you are on the go.

Codex usage limits have now been reset across all paid plans. Enjoy the weekend!
With ChatGPT codex on iOS you can use codex on Mac to use ‘computer use’ to use iPhone mirroring to control any app on your phone!
Frankenstein Siri
With codex computer use + mac's iPhone Mirror app, GPT can use any app on your phone!!!
Seems less accurate with clicks vs actual mac desktop apps, but it does work!
Whats the best app to use this with?!

@nicdunz @OpenAIDevs ❤️
@ajambrosino @OpenAIDevs thanks
@mweinbach @ajambrosino that doesnt look healthy
@ajambrosino I don't think you fully understand what Preview means.
That usually doesn't mean "ship to the whole world".
@anthonyniichols @ajambrosino For some reason your desktop app is not connecting. Can you dm me (I can’t dm you) your email?
