Google launched the Gemini app on Apple CarPlay, rolling it out worldwide to every iPhone user of Gemini in all languages that Gemini Live supports, after earlier launches on Android Auto and in cars with Google built-in. Drivers open Gemini from the car’s display to hold a voice conversation with Gemini Live, which can pull from Gmail and Google Calendar to read out a daily briefing, summarize unread emails, and help draft replies, then saves the chats to the Gemini app on their phone. Gemini arrives on CarPlay about seven months after ChatGPT, which OpenAI added this spring once Apple’s iOS 26.4 update opened CarPlay to voice-based conversational apps for the first time.
