Grok Bot Mobile App: Run Your Bots From iPhone and Android
The Grok Bot mobile app puts your Bots on your phone. It uses the same Bots, conversations, routines, connectors and shared cloud computer as the desktop app, and the work keeps running in the cloud when you close it. Here’s what you need, how to sign in without paying twice, and what a Bot can do with your phone, all from xAI’s own docs.
Key takeaways
Same Bots, chats, routines and cloud computer as the desktop app.
iPhone on iOS 18+, iPad on iPadOS 18+, or Android 9+.
Sign in with the same account. Don’t buy a second subscription.
Bots can use Calendar, Contacts, Location and Alarms in your own chat.
According to the mobile docs, the app is the same Grok Bot you use on desktop, in your pocket. Your Bots, conversations, routines, connectors and the shared cloud computer all sync. In xAI’s words, “work continues in the cloud when the app is closed.”

1. Install and sign in
Install Grok Bot from the App Store or Google Play.
On iPhone, choose Continue with Google, Sign in with Apple or Continue with email. If you’re signed in to the X or Grok app on the same phone, it can offer Continue as.
On Android, tap Log In or Sign Up and finish in the browser.
Use the same account you use on desktop. Enter an authenticator code if asked, or choose Use the browser instead.
Got Grok Bot through SuperGrok or X Premium+? Tap Link Grok Account, sign in in the browser, then tap Finished Linking? Refresh My Status.
New users go through a short tour, pick a first Bot and wait while the shared computer is set up. Existing users land straight on their synced Bot list.

This is the mistake to avoid. The docs say not to buy a second subscription through Apple or Google Play if your account already includes Grok Bot. Phone and desktop share the same usage.
Only monthly individual plans can be bought in the app. Yearly billing, Teams and Enterprise are bought on cursor.com.
In-app plans are managed by Apple (Apple ID → Subscriptions) or Google Play (Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions). Cursor can’t cancel or refund them.
A Cursor plan and a SuperGrok or X Premium+ link don’t stack. Grok Bot uses whichever gives more weekly usage.
Android has no in-app trial.
3. What you can do in a chat
Send text, dictate, or start a live voice chat.
Play a Bot’s voice memo, attach photos or files, and reply in threads.
Mention another Bot or @everyone in a group chat.
Share into Grok Bot from the share sheet: photos, files, links and text on iPhone, plus videos, audio and PDFs on Android.
On iPhone you also get the shortcuts List Bots, Send Message, Start Dictation and Start Voice Chat in Siri, Spotlight and Shortcuts. Dictation and voice chat show a Live Activity, and you can map the Action Button to Start Voice Chat.
4. Let a Bot use your phone’s apps
This is where the app gets useful for a business owner. In your own chat with a Bot you own, it can use:
Phone app
What the Bot can do
Calendar
Read, add, change and delete events (not repeating ones). It never invites anyone.
Contacts
Read only
Location
Your position, not an address
Alarms and timers
Alarms up to 24 hours ahead, timers up to 24 hours
Reminders, Apple Home
iPhone only
Two limits matter. It only works in your own chat with a Bot you own, not in group chats, Slack or someone else’s Team Bot. And Grok Bot must be open on the phone. A Grok Bot needs permission card waits up to five minutes for Allow. You can pre-allow apps in Settings → Connect apps.
From the phone you can open the shared computer to watch a Bot work, take over when it needs a password, 2FA code or CAPTCHA, and hand back with I’m done. Updating or recovering the computer still needs the desktop app.
6. Routines and settings on mobile
See each routine’s schedule, next run and history, pause or resume it with Active, swipe to delete, or use Edit routine and Add routine. Testing a routine needs desktop.
Settings include Import Memory from another assistant, a Bot Computer reset from the last snapshot, time zone, language and haptics.
Team admins can set phone tool use to Ask every time, Never allow or Always allow. Devices are listed under Settings → Bot → Manage your devices.
One quirk: while the desktop app is open on macOS or Windows, notifications from your Bots go to the desktop, not the phone. And Android Grok Bot 1.18.0 removed reading phone notifications.
What it can’t do yet
Update or recover the shared computer.
Test routines or rename pages.
Teach-by-demonstration workflows and some advanced desktop controls.
Edit saved cards in Vault.
My verdict
Set it up on desktop, then install the phone app with the same account and use it to check results, approve actions and fire off quick voice chats. Pre-allow Calendar and Alarms and the Grok Bot mobile app turns your Bot into an assistant you can run from anywhere.
