Perplexity brought Computer to iOS with cross-device sync so multi-step cloud tasks can keep running after you leave the screen. Try it if you want to start agent workflows from a phone instead of a desktop-only session.
Perplexity's launch post says Computer is now available on iOS inside the main Perplexity app. The two concrete launch claims are "start any task on any device" and "manage Computer from your phone or desktop with cross-device synchronization," which frames this as a mobile extension of an existing agent workflow rather than a separate mobile-only mode.
A follow-up rollout post adds the deployment detail engineers usually care about most: Perplexity Computer has been "fully rolled out on iOS to all users." That matters because it shifts the story from feature announcement to general availability. The same post repeats that "all sessions are synced across devices," reinforcing that state continuity is part of the shipped behavior, not just launch messaging.
The primary demo post shows the mobile app being used for desktop-style task execution, including a prompt to "Create a 12-slide presentation" and a generated slide outline. That suggests the iOS client is not just a notification surface; it can initiate substantive work that previously would have felt more natural from a laptop.
Supporting commentary in a practitioner thread describes the system as a cloud-side workflow runner where you describe an outcome in plain language and the agent breaks it into subtasks. Some of those implementation details are not confirmed by Perplexity directly here, but they fit the launch's main operational claim: tasks can continue after you leave the screen, and the same job can be resumed from another device. For engineers, the practical change is that the session boundary moves from "desktop where you started it" to an account-level workflow that persists across clients.
