Method

  1. 01

    Install Grok Bot and sign in

    The iPhone app needs iOS 18 or later. Download it from the App Store, open it, and finish Cursor sign-in. The phone uses the same bots and the same cloud computer as the desktop app.

  2. 02

    Share from the other app

    In Photos, Safari, or Files, open the system share sheet on the photo, file, link, or text.

  3. 03

    Choose Grok Bot, then a chat, then Attach

    The item lands in that conversation's composer. It is not sent until you send it.

  4. 04

    Add a line and send

    Say what the item is and what you want back. Then send. Work continues in the cloud if you close the app.

  5. 05

    Limits

    On Android, the share sheet currently accepts text. A photo from an iPhone is the path this recipe describes.
