Google rolling out Gemini app for CarPlay
Like on Android Auto and Automotive, Google is bringing the Gemini app to CarPlay. This allows iOS users to converse with Gemini Live while driving.
There’s a simple waveform UI with Gemini indicating when it’s listening, thinking, and responding. There are buttons to “End” and “Mute” in the top-left corner.
Like on phones, you can interrupt Gemini Live’s response to add a detail, change subjects, or pause. After launching the app, you can “pick up where you left off with a recent chat or start a fresh conversation.” All CarPlay conversations sync with the Gemini app on your iPhone.
Google says it designed “Gemini on CarPlay to work like a conversational driving companion that minimizes distraction.” Example prompts include:
Gemini on CarPlay is rolling out globally starting today to all users on iOS “across every supported Gemini Live language.” Make sure you’ve updated to the latest version of the Gemini app on your iPhone.
