Anthropic update unifies memory feature across Claude Cowork and chat
Anthropic has announced a new update to how memory works between Claude Cowork and chat. Today’s change unifies memory between the two systems.
Anthropic has unveiled an update to the memory feature for Claude Cowork and chat, now unifying the two systems. This means that tasks run in the cloud by Cowork can recall information from Claude's chat interactions, and vice versa. Memory for sensitive topics, such as health or beliefs, remains off by default, but can be enabled in the Memory settings if users find themselves re-explaining the same details repeatedly.
The feature is available on both free and paid plans, including Mac and iOS devices. On free, Pro, and Max plans, memory is turned on by default across web, desktop, and mobile platforms. To access the latest updates, iOS and Android users are advised to update to the most recent version of the mobile app.
