## Summary

Anthropic says sessions across Claude web, desktop, and mobile apps will run in auto mode by default on Pro, Max, and Team plans starting next week. Instead of asking users to approve each step, an automated check blocks risky actions, and users can switch back to manual at any time. A quoted Claude Code post says auto mode is the default there from August 14, and that in testing a separate classifier caught 89% of dangerous commands versus 14% for manual approval.

## Why it matters

The change moves approval checks from users to an automated classifier by default, and the quoted test figures let readers judge how much that shifts safety.

Rather than asking you to approve each step, an automated check blocks risky actions. Switch back to manual anytime.
