Warnings on record

• Open regulator investigation
  Ofcom opened an Online Safety Act investigation into X in January 2026 over sexualised imagery made with Grok. It is still open (update of 14 October 2026) and now covers illegal-content and complaints duties. It concerns X, not companion chat, though Ofcom says SpaceXAI also restricted its companion chatbots for UK users. ofcom.org.uk
• Teens allowed on an app that is not SFW-only
  The terms allow users aged 13 to 17 with parental permission, and say outputs may not be appropriate for all ages depending on the features chosen. x.ai

Age and content

Note

ToS section 2: 'at least 13 years old or the minimum age required in your country'; 13 to 17 need a parent's or guardian's permission. App Store rating 17+; Google Play 'Teen'.

Age check

self-declared x.ai

Note

'You must confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement.' No ID or face check is described in the ToS or FAQ.

Under-18 policy

Minors 13-17 allowed with parental permission; outputs may be 'not appropriate for all ages' depending on features chosen x.ai

Note

ToS: 'depending on the features that you choose to use, your settings, and the prompts you provide, the Service may produce outputs that you may consider inappropriate.' The ToS contains no companion-specific minor rules.

Content policy

Policy unclear apps.apple.com

Note

App Store content advisories: 'Frequent/Intense Mature/Suggestive Themes', 'Infrequent/Mild Sexual Content and Nudity'. SpaceXSI's legal and pricing pages do not describe a companion or adult mode.

Named companions (for example Ani and Valentine) were reported by the press from July 2025 (PCMag, https://au.pcmag.com/ai/112110/elon-musks-grok-app-gets-new-ai-companions-and-theyre-mischievous). The vendor's own FAQ (x.ai/legal/faq, read 2026-10-27) says 'You can make Grok your unique and entertaining companion' and mentions 'choosing different personas', but does not name Ani or Valentine or describe companion features. Ofcom's update of 2026-10-14 refers to SpaceXAI's 'companion chatbots, including Ani', which confirms that companion personas exist in standalone Grok. Feature rows below are therefore only partly confirmed by the vendor's pages.
