Elon Musk’s Grok AI Chatbot Launches as Dedicated iOS App: All You Need to Know
Elon Musk’s xAI has launched the Grok AI chatbot app for iPhone users, advancing its AI capabilities beyond the X platform. Initially introduced in beta testing in December 2024, the Grok app is currently exclusive to users in the U.S. and remains in its beta stage. It delivers a similar experience to its integrated version on X (formerly Twitter) but with added convenience and accessibility.
The release builds upon X’s new free-tier model for Grok. Previously limited to X Premium subscribers at $8 per month, the AI assistant is now available to all users with certain restrictions. Free-tier users can make up to 10 text-based requests every two hours and perform three image analysis requests daily. These limits also apply to the standalone iOS app, making Grok more accessible than ever.

What Sets Grok Apart
The Grok AI app offers features that go beyond standard chatbot interactions. Users can:
- Generate high-quality AI images.
- Receive real-time responses sourced from X platform updates.
- Upload and analyze files or images for detailed insights.
- Create custom visuals using text prompts, rivaling tools like DALL-E 3.
Enhanced Accessibility on iOS
The app is designed for seamless integration with iOS, featuring compatibility with Siri, the Control Center, and Shortcuts. A dedicated widget for the Lock Screen adds another layer of user convenience. Despite its robust iOS presence, there is no confirmed release timeline for an Android version.
Elon Musk’s Grok AI app sets a new benchmark in the AI chatbot industry by combining accessibility, innovation, and integration with real-time updates, paving the way for a broader audience to experience cutting-edge AI.
