Grok on CarPlay

Grok Voice Mode in CarPlay works similarly to the other AI chatbot apps. The app shows a list of recent conversations, or you can start a new conversation.

Grok for CarPlay lets you mute the conversation temporarily without fully stopping the session. There’s also the ability to switch voices from the CarPlay app.

Grok Voice Mode is available in the latest version of the Grok iPhone app. Find more CarPlay apps in every category here.
