Google brings Gemini Live conversations to Apple CarPlay
The rollout is intended for Gemini users on iOS worldwide and includes every language supported by Gemini Live.
Google has announced that its Gemini app is adding Apple CarPlay support, allowing drivers to access Gemini Live conversations through the car’s display. The company described the global rollout as starting, although the app update did not yet appear to be available.
The addition brings the dedicated Gemini chatbot app to CarPlay. Previously, Google offered certain Gemini capabilities through Google Maps on the platform, without providing the Gemini Live conversational experience.
To use the feature, Google says iPhone owners need an updated Gemini app, microphone access enabled and a previous session with Gemini Live on their phone. After connecting the phone to CarPlay, selecting the Gemini icon lets them begin another conversation or return to a recent one.
Other chatbot apps with existing CarPlay support include Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Perplexity, Meta AI and Grok. Siri’s standalone app in iOS 27 also works with CarPlay.
