Claude app to enable auto mode by default
What happened
On October 23, Claude announced that starting next week, sessions for Pro, Max and Team plan users on web, desktop and mobile apps will default to auto mode. The mode stops asking for step-by-step user approval and instead blocks high-risk actions through automatic checks; users can switch back to manual mode at any time. A Claude Code update cited in the announcement says auto mode uses a separate classifier to review shell commands, and in testing it blocked 89% of dangerous commands, against 14% for manual approval. What has been announced so far is the default setting change taking effect next week.
