The Microsoft 365 (Office) app is now called the Microsoft 365 Copilot app across web, mobile (iOS, Android), and Windows. The new app name and icon reflects the integration of Copilot within the Microsoft 365 app.
The Microsoft 365 Copilot app continues to serve as your everyday productivity app for work and life. But in the era of AI and integration of Copilot, it's become much more than that. We've made several commercial enhancements to innovate the work experience and will soon bring this innovation to consumers with personal accounts.
The app remains your starting place to find, create, share, and collaborate in one place with access to your favorite productivity applications. This branding change represents the additional ways you can collaborate with Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat for tasks such as asking questions, creating content, drafting documents, and building agents with a work account.
