Tesla Robotaxi App Now Supports iPad, iPhone Duo and Improved Live Activities

The update also makes your pickup Live Activity glow in the same color as your Cybercab’s light bar, with a glassy card that reflects your wallpaper.

Tesla’s Robotaxi app now has a proper version for bigger screens. Tesla has rolled out official support for the iPad, iPhone Duo, and Android tablets and foldables in Robotaxi app version 26.10.3 (and later), with the changelog confirming support for large-screen devices.

A Dedicated Big-Screen Layout

You could already download the Robotaxi app on an iPad, but it was just a scaled-up version of the phone app. The new version is built specifically for larger displays, so booking and tracking a ride should feel more at home on a tablet or the iPhone Duo’s inner screen.

The update comes shortly after the main Tesla app got its own big-screen redesign for the same devices. That version added the panels menu next to a large vehicle visualization, and Tesla said it would keep improving the layout in future updates.

Live Activities Now Match Your Cybercab Color

Tesla also updated the Robotaxi app’s Live Activities on iOS, as shown in screenshots shared by Ethan McKanna (@ethanmckanna). Every ride is assigned its own color, and when your Cybercab arrives, its front RGB light bar glows in that color. That makes it easier to pick out your ride when several Cybercabs are nearby.

The app already showed which color to look for, but now the Live Activity card on your lock screen glows in the same color. In McKanna’s screenshot, the card is outlined in purple and shows the Cybercab’s license plate, along with a live progress bar showing just how close the vehicle is to your location. The same treatment carries over to Robotaxi Live Activities on Apple Watch.

Better Support for Apple’s Liquid Glass

There’s more going on with the Live Activity card’s design than just color. Tesla design studio member Wayne Sun (@w4ynesun) said that Live Activities now support iOS’s Liquid Glass interface.

It also works with iOS theming. According to Sun, “the card soaks in the theme colors on your device, so it always feels at home.”

With more than 300 Cybercabs already running in Austin and more cities coming, Tesla’s UI team will likely keep adding small touches like this to the Robotaxi app. The big-screen version is rolling out now, bringing it to even more devices.
