Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4364

How are you running AnythingLLM?

Not listed

What happened?

A mobile version of AnythingLLM cannot write messages in threads synced from a self-hosted remote version: the 'new message' input is disabled asking to select a model. So without downloading any of the models, it's impossible to chat, even if the cloud version has its own model.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Download mobile app
Skip onboarding (restart the app w/o choosing the model)
Sync with a self-hosted version via QR codes
Try chatting

@shatfield4 commented on GitHub (Sep 5, 2025):

The current way we have both the desktop and mobile app implemented, we do not support this yet. You can only sync messages but you will need to select a model on the mobile app in order to chat. Allowing the mobile app to use the desktop LLM providers is something we are looking into and may be supported in the future.
