Copilot Apps Merge into One

Key insights

• Microsoft Copilot merge — Microsoft is combining the consumer Copilot app and Microsoft 365 Copilot into a single app called Microsoft Copilot, with a refreshed flat icon and the removal of some older consumer-only features.


• One app, multiple accounts — The app supports personal, work, and school accounts in one place while keeping chats, files, and data separate by account type inside the app.


• Rollout timing — The unified experience starts on mobile and web in mid‑August, with Windows and Mac following in a broader rollout around mid‑September; deployment is staged and varies by user.


• Feature removals and replacements — Microsoft is dropping Podcasts, Group Chat, and Deep Research from the consumer app; Microsoft 365 Premium users are directed to Researcher for some research tasks.


• Expected benefits — The merge aims to create less confusion, a more consistent experience across personal and work workflows, and simpler account switching with tighter Microsoft 365 integration.


• Caveats and web changes — The rollout is gradual with early desktop access for some users; Microsoft is simplifying features as part of the merge and is moving its commercial web presence toward copilot.cloud.microsoft.
