The launch of the Copilot app for Android comes a little over a month after Microsoft rebranded Bing Chat to Copilot. Microsoft originally launched its AI push earlier this year inside its Bing search engine, integrating a ChatGPT-like interface into search results. While that’s still available, Microsoft has dropped the Bing Chat branding and allowed Copilot to be more of a standalone experience that also exists on its own dedicated domain over at copilot.microsoft.com — much like ChatGPT.
Launching mobile apps for Copilot seems like the next logical step of expanding this standalone Copilot experience, particularly as Bing Chat Enterprise was also rebranded to just Copilot. While there’s no sign of an iOS version of Copilot right now, I’d expect it’s right around the corner. Until then, you can always use the Bing app on an iPhone or iPad to access the existing Copilot features.
