# Phone trackpad control for live browsers, plus a watch mode

> Phone takeovers gain pinch zoom, tap to click, drag, right-click, and a clipboard, and every live browser gets real browser controls and a watch mode.

Sign-in cards and AI connection sign-ins hand you a live browser so you can log in to a site yourself. On a phone, text sent into that page was typed key by key, which was slow and failed past 1,024 characters. The phone is now a trackpad over a zoomable page, and every live browser, on any screen, is framed in the same browser controls.

### Phone takeover

- Pinch to zoom up to 5x the fitted page, and pan or scroll with two fingers.
- Tap clicks and a quick second tap double-clicks. Tap then drag holds the button down for selecting text, sliders, and maps. A two-finger tap or long hold right-clicks.
- A clipboard menu copies the page's selection to your phone or pastes text from it in one step.
- A help sheet explains every gesture.

### Browser controls everywhere

Tabs, back, forward, reload, and the address bar frame the page wherever a browser appears, at one of three levels of access:

- **Drive:** your own browser, fully usable.
- **Drive in place:** an AI connection's sign-in, where the address is visible but can't be edited.
- **Watch:** an agent's browser inside a conversation or run. Everything is visible and nothing is pressable.

Watch mode is new: anyone who can read the conversation can see the agent's browser, and watching never affects the agent's session.
