Talk it through with Gemini, now on Apple CarPlay

Google's Gemini Live is now available through Apple CarPlay, enabling hands-free, natural conversations while driving. Users can manage their calendars, summarize emails, or brainstorm ideas during their commute. To use Gemini Live on CarPlay, users must update their Gemini app on their iPhone, enable microphone permissions, and tap the Gemini icon on their car display.

Conversations sync with the user's iPhone, allowing them to pick up where they left off once they park. The feature is designed to minimize distraction and maximize productivity during daily commutes, which often last around an hour. Following its successful rollout on Android Auto and Google-built-in cars, Gemini Live on CarPlay is now available globally to all iOS Gemini users.

Users must first update to the latest Gemini app version, enable microphone permissions, and use Gemini Live on their phone at least once. To begin using Gemini Live on CarPlay, connect the iPhone to the car's system, tap the Gemini icon on the CarPlay display, and start a new conversation or resume a recent one. Certain personalization features, like Daily Brief, are not available to users under 18 or in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Nigeria.
