Microsoft Announces Significant Update for Mobile Copilot App

Microsoft is reportedly intensifying its efforts on a redesigned version of its Copilot app for both iOS and Android mobile platforms. As noted in Tom Warren’s Notepad newsletter on The Verge, sources within Microsoft indicate that one of the exciting features of the upcoming Copilot mobile app will be its capability to read news to users, mirroring the experience of listening to a radio news broadcaster.

The newsletter highlights that the innovative newsreader function in the revamped Copilot mobile application will even incorporate music while the AI-driven newsreader presents the latest headlines.

Additional features of the new Copilot app, as reported by Warren, will include a card-based user interface aimed at fostering greater interaction compared to the existing version. This fresh UI design is intended to display a variety of topics, thereby minimizing the typing effort required for users to engage with the Copilot chatbot.

The tailored interface will create a personalized experience for each user, informed not only by their interests but also by their previous interactions with Copilot.

According to the Notepad newsletter, the upcoming Copilot mobile app is already quite refined. However, Microsoft has yet to announce a specific timeline for when users can expect this significant update for iOS and Android.

It’s important to note that Microsoft has not officially verified any plans concerning the launch of a new version of the Copilot app. There is a possibility that the company may revise its existing update strategies before formally announcing and rolling out the app.

Recently, Microsoft introduced a slew of new features for Copilot users, including the introduction of automated Copilot Agents created in Copilot Studio, a revamped Copilot Pages experience, and enhanced data protection measures for users in workplace or educational settings. Additionally, Microsoft noted that in October, it plans to implement web search query citations in the answers provided by Copilot.
