Musk says Grok Bot now supports hands-free voice activation on iPhone

Elon Musk said in a post on X that Grok Bot can now be launched hands-free on iPhone for voice conversations through Apple’s Shortcuts app and Accessibility settings. According to the post, the feature does not require an extra app or any added fee, and is already built into iOS. Musk said users can set it up by creating an action in the Shortcuts app and then assigning the voice phrase “Hey Grok” in Accessibility. The update, as described in the post cited by Techub, lets users trigger Grok Bot without touching the device, using iPhone’s existing system tools rather than a separate installation.
