openai has officially integrated codex’s remote control capabilities into the mobile version of chatgpt, allowing ios and android users to manage cloud‑based and desktop development tasks in real time from their smartphones. from task initiation and progress tracking to operation approval, workflow switching, and even command rewriting, the entire development feedback loop is now fully available on mobile devices.
gizevo technology has learned that codex’s interactive system, previously limited to standalone mac applications, has now been fully extended to mobile platforms. the new chatgpt app features a dedicated codex control center that not only displays dynamic operational status but also supports thread scheduling, permission verification, plugin browsing, and access to project context. users can create new task queues at any time, review generated results, intervene in execution paths, and authorize subsequent steps with a single tap.
this feature has begun rolling out in phases, with iphone and android users receiving updates progressively starting immediately. a windows‑compatible version is scheduled for release in a later stage.
codex first debuted as a terminal‑based command-line tool and made its way onto macos earlier this year. last month, the mac version received a major upgrade, enabling seamless background operation—meaning users can freely use their mouse to interact with other applications even while codex is running tasks. at the same time, openai launched a dedicated codex subscription service and released the gpt‑5.5 model, further enhancing the intelligent collaboration between chatgpt and codex.
