Microsoft's dueling Copilot apps have combined into a single entity
Consumer and work experiences converge, while a few features face the chop
Microsoft is streamlining its Copilot apps by merging the consumer Copilot app and Microsoft 365 Copilot into a single entity. The unified Copilot app is set for a rollout starting August 18, although certain features may be temporarily removed. The move aims to simplify the app ecosystem and create a more cohesive experience for both consumer and business users.
Users with personal accounts will be transitioned to an updated version of the app, while Microsoft 365 Copilot subscribers might notice changes in appearance and navigation. Features such as Podcasts and Group Chat, as well as Deep Research, are being phased out. Users are advised to save any desired content before updating, as these features and content will no longer be accessible.
The new combined app will offer free access to basic functionalities, with higher limits available through a Microsoft 365 subscription.
