Google Gemini App Now Available On Apple CarPlay

Google’s Gemini AI chatbot can now be used while driving via the CarPlay functionality after a new app update added the feature to the Gemini iPhone app.

The update means that Gemini Live conversations can now be had via CarPlay.

Gemini is the final major AI chatbot player to add support for CarPlay, something that may not be all that surprising given Google’s Android leanings. But the company will surely want people to use Gemini wherever possible, and this new CarPlay update means that it joins ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and other major AI apps as supporting in-car conversations.

Google confirmed the CarPlay feature, noting that it is “rolling out globally starting today” for all iPhone devices that use a Gemini Live-supported language.

“To get started, make sure you’ve updated to the latest version of the Gemini app on your iPhone, enabled microphone permissions, and used Gemini Live on your phone at least once. The next time you connect your phone to your car, tap the Gemini icon on your CarPlay display, then start a new conversation or pick up a recent one.”

Apple added support for chatbot conversations via an iPhone iOS update. The iOS 27 software update was released in September, with multiple chatbot companies ready to go immediately. It’s taken Google an additional two months to catch up.
