Google Rolls Out Gemini Live on Apple CarPlay
Google says its Gemini app is rolling out globally on Apple CarPlay, bringing hands-free conversations and synced chat history to iPhone users.
Google is bringing its Gemini app to Apple CarPlay, with a global rollout beginning Wednesday across supported Gemini Live languages.
The update lets iPhone users start a hands-free conversation from the Gemini icon on their CarPlay display, resume a recent chat, or switch subjects during a conversation. Chats sync with the Gemini app on the user's iPhone.
Google says the app can help users review their calendar, summarize emails through connected Google Workspace apps, brainstorm ideas and rehearse presentations. The company says it designed the interface to limit distraction while driving.
To get started, users need the latest Gemini app on their iPhone, microphone access enabled, and at least one prior use of Gemini Live on the phone. Availability may vary as the rollout reaches users.
Some personalization tools have separate limits. Daily Brief must be enabled first, and Google says certain personalization features are unavailable to users under 18 or in the European Economic Area and Nigeria.
