9191## Grant Claude access to a device

93Claude asks for your consent before it controls a device, while building the app or opening a URL on it follows your session's permission mode. You or your organization can also turn Claude's access off entirely.

9595### Allow a device the first time
9696 
9797The first time Claude uses a simulator, the desktop app asks you to allow it. The consent covers controlling that device and taking screenshots of it, and you give it once per device rather than once per session. Claude's screenshots of the device are sent to Anthropic and kept under your normal conversation retention settings, so don't sign in to real accounts on a device Claude uses.
9898 
99After you allow a device, Claude's actions on it, such as tapping, typing, launching the app, and taking screenshots, run without further prompts. They carry the same trust as you clicking in the pane, and they only touch the simulated device, so the pane doesn't need the macOS Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions that computer use requires.
99After you allow a device, Claude's actions on it, such as tapping, typing, and taking screenshots, run without prompts, but you approve launching the app as your [permission mode](#actions-that-follow-your-permission-mode) requires. They carry the same trust as you clicking in the pane, and they only touch the simulated device, so the pane doesn't need the macOS Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions that computer use requires.

101101If you decline, the device still boots and the pane still works for your own taps; only Claude's access stays off. To change your mind later, click **Let Claude use it** in the pane.

103103### Actions that follow your permission mode
104104 
105Two actions follow your session's [permission mode](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/permissions.md#permission-modes) instead of the one-time consent:
105Three actions follow your session's [permission mode](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/permissions.md#permission-modes) even after you allow a device:
106106 
107107* Opening a URL on the device, for example to test a deep link or load a page in the device's Safari, because a URL can carry data off the device.
108108* Building the app, because `xcodebuild` runs your project's build scripts on your Mac. Checking on a build already in progress doesn't prompt.
109* Installing and launching the app, because Claude can run any app it names, not only the one you're building.
