Grok settings
This panel is a sketch, not a screenshot. As of 2026 the browser version no longer exposes this menu in most regions — access moved to the iOS and Android apps, and the tier requirement rose to SuperGrok or X Premium+.

- Wait for the Grok interface to load

Step 3: Enable Spicy Mode
- Toggle the Spicy Mode switch to ON
- Read and accept the content warning disclaimer
