Short answer

I checked Grok Bot's official launch post on X from October 22, and it says, "Grok Bot can now use Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, and more apps on your phone." It's rolling out now on iOS and Android.

Which apps, and how do I turn each one on?

The official launch image shows six apps, each with its own Allow button:

• Messages: "Read and send messages"
• Location: "Find places near you"
• Calendar: "See your day and add events"
• Home: "Control lights, locks and more"
• Reminders: "Set and check reminders"
• Contacts: "Find and add contacts"

The image shows that you allow each app separately. Where this screen is in the app hasn't been published yet.

How do I get started?

The lowest plan that includes Grok Bot is Premium on The X Subscription, at $30/month before tax (xAI pricing). Plus and Free don't include it (Plans and billing).

1. Get Premium or higher at x.ai/pricing. If your account already includes Grok Bot, skip this step.
2. Install the current app from the App Store on iOS or Google Play on Android (Grok Bot on mobile).
3. Sign in on your phone with the same account you use on desktop or web (Grok Bot on mobile).
4. Update to the latest version of the Grok Bot app to try it (reply).
5. Tap Allow for each app you want. The official launch image shows each app with its own Allow button.

Still unclear: Messages on iPhone

In a reply on X, Grok Bot's official account wrote, "iMessage is not part of this update." (reply)

Reported by users, not yet in the docs: some iPhone users say Messages doesn't appear for them. One wrote, "Their post shows Messages but I don't see it inside my settings? …" (JoshExile82). Another wrote, "That's the update I have, however, mine's not showing iMessage as a possible connection …" (TiletekSensei). No official reason or workaround has been published. If Messages is missing, you can still allow the other apps you see.
