Google has launched a dedicated Gemini app for Apple CarPlay, extending voice conversations beyond the location and travel queries previously available through Google Maps, the company says. Users can connect calendar and email accounts to ask about meetings, unread messages and email threads. Access requires the latest iPhone app, microphone permissions and at least one prior use of Gemini Live. The app then appears when the phone connects to a compatible car. CarPlay supports voice mode only, and conversation transcripts are automatically saved to chat history.
