Microsoft merges Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot into single app
Microsoft just announced it's merging its Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot apps into a single, all-in-one platform scheduled to begin rolling out in mid-September 2026.
This new app will work across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and the web, so you can log in with any account (work, school, or personal) and have your emails, calendar, and cloud tools all in one place.
Microsoft discontinues Copilot features August 18
If you're a Microsoft 365 subscriber, you'll keep your perks like higher usage limits and access to Word, Excel, Outlook, and other Microsoft 365 apps and files directly from Copilot.
Heads up though: features like Group chats, Podcasts, and Deep Research mode are being discontinued after August 18, 2026, so save anything important before then.
You'll still be able to view old Deep Research reports, but making new ones will only be possible with a Microsoft 365 Premium subscription through the Researcher tool.
