Lesson 06 of 11 · Module 6

Claude mobile on iOS and Android

Show where Claude mobile is useful for capture and review, and where learners must switch to desktop.

Built from aikickstart_sec06.md and mobile feature research

This module prevents mobile overreach. Learners should know the useful mobile workflows and the limitations before they build a process around them.

What to understand

  • Mobile is for capture, review and lightweight follow-up.
  • Desktop remains the safer surface for local files, broad connectors and detailed inspection.
  • Every mobile lesson needs accessibility and screen-size considerations.
