Grok Bot mobile: preview bot voices before choosing one

Ideas Feature Requests

Feature request for product/service

– Other –

Describe the request

In the mobile app settings you pick a bot’s voice from a list of names, but there’s no way to hear it first, so you have to pick, wait for a voice memo, and repeat. Request: a play/preview button next to each voice in the voice picker.

Product: Grok Bot
Version: Grok Bot iOS 1.18.0 (28378); macOS desktop on the latest release

Operating System (if it applies)

MacOS

Hey @jjhbest001,

The mobile voice picker doesn’t have a preview yet, it’s just the list of names for now. Previewing voices on mobile is something the team is already tracking!

In the meantime, the desktop app does let you hear each voice before picking it:

  1. Start a voice call with the bot in the Grok Bot desktop app.
  2. Click the gear in the call to open its settings.
  3. Open the Voice menu and press the play button next to any voice to hear a sample.

The voice is saved to the bot, so whatever you pick there should carry over to the mobile app too.

Previews are live on the desktop app now. No need to start a voice call. Just open your bot’s profile, go to the voice selector, and find the play buttons to invoke audio previews.

Thanks @chrisolson — I just checked on iPad today and there’s still no voice preview in the picker. The desktop profile preview is a nice improvement. The original request is still for the same play button on mobile/iPad, so we don’t have to pick a name, wait for a voice memo, and repeat.
