Service eligibility and regional restrictions
PuppyIP serves only compliant overseas businesses and their authorized personnel. Proxy services are not available in mainland China. The service may only be used for lawful business activities outside mainland China. Use of this service within mainland China is prohibited.
Hosting a proxy IP or server overseas does not change these restrictions. The service must not be provided to end users in mainland China through relaying, forwarding, sharing or resale. Before use, read the Terms of Service.
Key Takeaways
- OpenAI lists ChatGPT iOS 1.2026.272 on October 7, 2026, with direct task links and inline reply web previews.
- Phone and awake, online Mac/Windows host need current apps and the same ChatGPT account/workspace. Rollout and workspace settings affect access.
- New tasks retain the selected computer while offline/reconnecting, with better worktree support; confirm task, directory and edits after recovery.
- Approval choices are clearer and Plugins is under the composer plus menu. Status updates differ from permission requests needing a response.
Fewer switches between tasks and pages
The October 7 changelog lists iOS 1.2026.272 with direct Codex task-link opening and inline web previews. Exact publication time/time zone and all-account completion are not specified.
Direct links reduce searching for a conversation, while previews help identify related pages. Still check Cloud versus connected computer; a link grants no host permission.
This release also improves long-conversation streaming, reduces freezes and fixes an empty task list after successful connection. These UI/connectivity changes guarantee neither every network nor every computer stays connected.
Opening a task is not connecting a computer
Confirm Codex access for the target account/workspace. Use current mobile/desktop apps on supported macOS/Windows and the same account and workspace; the same email does not prove the same workspace selected.
Mobile availability depends on rollout and workspace settings. Administrators may need Remote Control and require MFA, SSO or passkeys. This release supplies no separate complete plan/region list, so universal immediate access cannot be promised.
The host must remain awake, online and running desktop. Pairing starts in the desktop app, not CLI or IDE extension. Command-line-only users should inspect desktop connection support first.
Start first pairing on desktop
First open ChatGPT desktop Settings > Connections > Control this Mac or PC on the trusted target and choose Set up/Add. Complete remote-access confirmation and authentication.
Second scan its QR code with the phone, confirm account/workspace and complete pairing. This joins this phone to this host; another computer needs its corresponding connection.
Third open Codex on iOS and choose the connected computer/task; older UI may call it Remote. Already paired users can inspect existing status rather than re-pair automatically. Manual pairing gained clearer instructions and formatted-code paste support.
Retaining a host does not execute offline
Version 1.2026.272 retains a selected computer for new tasks while reconnecting/offline. It prevents losing the choice, not execution on a powered-off machine or automatic transfer of files, credentials and tools into Cloud.
Hypothetical unexecuted example: a home Windows project loses networking. After recovery confirm the same computer and original task status, rather than creating duplicate tasks because the list briefly disappeared.
Remote access stops when the host sleeps, disconnects or closes desktop until available again. Address that condition before resuming. Opening a Cloud task proves no local task runs on an offline computer.
Confirm the same worktree before editing
A worktree is a separate working directory for the same Git repository, often isolating tasks. Better iOS support aligns visible files/changes with the actual desktop checkout.
Confirm host and project, then existing task files/diff. Two tasks titled update website may use different branches/directories. Use actual project and changes rather than titles to identify them.
Host files, local tools, plugins, browsers and credentials supply the environment, with sandbox/approval rules retained. Mobile continuation changes the entry point, not proof that another computer made the same edits.
Separate approvals from progress
The redesigned picker clarifies permissions. Inspect the concrete command/action and scope before allowing it. Mobile approval grants no universal permissions and checking progress needs no broader authorization.
Plugins is consolidated under the composer plus menu. Status updates no longer appear as questions requiring answers, helping separate progress from genuine waiting for input; handle real approvals on their content.
If Codex/tasks remain absent, inspect app version, account/workspace, admin controls and host connection in order. Identifying the missing condition is better than repeated tasks, computers or pairing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this release apply to Android?
The entry specifically names iOS. Remote guidance supports both mobile platforms, but version-specific features/fixes need their own release notes and actual UI.
Can I operate a locked computer's browser?
Windows Computer Use needs an unlocked session and foreground desktop. That condition does not apply universally to all remote tasks; distinguish viewing, commands and desktop operation.
Can mobile directly connect my SSH project?
The documented path connects SSH/development environments through desktop first, then mobile to that host. Task links grant no SSH permission; the host supplies project and connections.
