Anthropic, developer of Claude AI, today announced a major update to its iOS and Android apps, giving mobile users a new look and enhanced functionality. the update, which includes the debut of an iPad app, will improve the user experience of using Claude AI for personal and professional tasks. Users now have more options to personalize how Claude AI works, including adding specific information for more customized instructions. This latest update adds another milestone to Claude AI's feature list, and further developments are expected in the future.

A practical addition for accessing important information on demand is the ability to search past chats. Users can now revisit past conversations, giving them more flexibility and control for a more productive workflow. Users can also enter specific information, add context to projects, and change prompts with custom instructions. For example, I asked Claude AI to help me create a list of chores for my three children. Then, when I added that my 7-year-old has ADHD, the AI adjusted its response to fit my needs.

The new features and functionality open the door to increased productivity, especially for those who juggle multiple projects or use Claude AI in complex environments where custom instructions are critical to success.

Users who prefer the iPad have reason to rejoice. Until now, Claude AI has only worked from smartphones and desktops. The app's updated interface and added project support make it easier to move between devices while maintaining workflow continuity, further establishing Claude AI as a versatile AI productivity tool.

As Anthropic rolls out these updates, the company continues to position Claude AI as a powerful and user-friendly tool across a variety of devices and platforms. Claude's mobile enhancements underscore Anthropic's commitment to improving accessibility and user experience, enabling more adaptive AI assistance for a wide range of tasks and use cases.
