ByJim Miller

Microsoft Copilot, the AI-powered assistant, has just made its way to Android and iOS devices. With features like image generation, drafting emails, and access to OpenAI's GPT-4 model, Copilot is a powerful tool that can make your life easier. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to use Copilot on your mobile device and share some cool tricks to help you become a Copilot whiz in no time.

Getting Started with Copilot

Once you've downloaded the Copilot app on your Android or iOS device, make sure to enable the toggle next to GPT-4. This will allow Copilot to provide you with updated and better responses using GPT-4.

To start a conversation, simply type your prompt in the text box and tap the send icon. If you prefer, you can also use the microphone icon to enter prompts using your voice. The app also provides suggestions to help you discover the different ways you can use Copilot.

Once you enter your prompts, Copilot will analyze them and generate a response. To learn more about the results, tap on Explore. If you want to copy the response, tap on the copy icon at the bottom. You can also indicate your satisfaction by tapping on the thumbs-up or thumbs-down icon to provide feedback.

Checking Your Chat History

If you want to revisit a previous search, you can easily check your chat history. Simply tap on the Sign in button and enter your Microsoft ID to log in. Once logged in, you can access your chat history by tapping on the kebab menu (three horizontal dots) and selecting Chat history. This allows you to view your previous conversations and responses from anywhere.

Copilot vs. Bing App

The Bing Search app, available on Android and iOS, already integrates Copilot, providing a seamless search engine experience. However, the Copilot standalone app offers a more focused and dedicated interaction with the AI chatbot. While the Bing app can sometimes feel cluttered, Copilot ensures a smoother and more efficient user experience.
