Microsoft recently introduced a new Copilot app on Android, providing users with an additional means to engage with the AI-powered assistant and its functionalities. The app is now available for download on the Google Play Store, and its listing indicates that it became available in the marketplace approximately a week ago. The launch occurred quietly and with minimal fanfare. The discovery was made by @technosarusrex on X (formerly Twitter).
The recently launched Copilot app for Android shares similarities with the Bing Chat app, allowing users access to similar chat features. It is not an entirely new concept. Moreover, Copilot integrates with various Microsoft applications such as the Microsoft Edge browser for Android, SwiftKey, Skype, and more.
Copilot for Android offers support for numerous features, including the option to toggle between light and dark themes, mirroring capabilities available on the desktop version. Users can pose complex queries, generate images using DALL-E 3, compose documents or emails, or engage in casual conversations on various topics. Furthermore, the app provides the ability to enable or disable the recently added GPT-4 feature.
This is how Microsoft articulates the functionality of the new application:

For those whose primary device is an Android smartphone and wish to explore the new Copilot app, it is available for free on the Google Play Store.
