The Gemini app arrives on Apple CarPlay with Gemini Live

Google started rolling out the Gemini app on Apple CarPlay, so iPhone users can have hands-free Gemini Live conversations from the car's display. It follows Gemini on Android Auto and in cars with Google built-in.

Tap the Gemini icon on the CarPlay screen or side rail to start a new conversation or pick up a recent one. You can interrupt, change the subject, or pause when you need to focus on the road.

Because Gemini connects to Gmail and Google Calendar, you can ask what your day looks like, hear your Daily Brief, catch up on unread email, get a summary of a long thread and talk through a reply. Google also suggests using the drive to ask about places where you're headed, brainstorm, or rehearse a presentation. Conversations sync to the Gemini app on your iPhone, so they're in your chat history when you park.

The rollout is global for Gemini users on iOS, in every language Gemini Live supports. You need the latest Gemini app, microphone permission, and at least one Gemini Live session on your phone first. Daily Brief has to be enabled, and it isn't available to people under 18 or in the European Economic Area and Nigeria.
