Microsoft Copilot Now Available for Android Smartphones. App Introduces Paid ChatGPT Features for Free

Microsoft Copilot Stealthily Debuts on Google Play Store

A new app named Microsoft Copilot has quietly arrived on the Google Play Store. This service is essentially the Bing Chat chatbot with a rebranded name. Interestingly, the app provides free access to the more advanced multimodal language model GPT-4, as well as the impressive image generation capabilities of DALL-E 3. Although these same features are accessible through ChatGPT, here they are offered completely free of charge. The capabilities of Microsoft’s seemingly new service are indeed substantial.

Microsoft Copilot Launches on Android Devices

Microsoft Copilot has reached its mobile version milestone and is now available on smartphones and other devices running the Android operating system. Apple device owners, on the other hand, are still awaiting its debut.

Microsoft Copilot: Enhancing Creativity with New Features

The application can be downloaded from Google Play at this address. After installation, it’s worthwhile to log in with a Microsoft account or create a new one to gain full functionality. Similar to interactions with ChatGPT, users can ask virtually any question, but right from the get-go, Microsoft Copilot provides access to a more powerful language model in GPT-4—capable of analyzing and providing information based on submitted photos.

GPT-4: OpenAI’s More Capable Successor to ChatGPT with Multimedia Understanding

Moreover, the service is integrated with DALL-E 3, allowing users to generate any image from a textual description. Interestingly, one can take a picture of any object or the environment to create an image in a specific style. Currently, the main downside is the lack of full plugin support as found in the browser version, but this will likely change over time. The release date for the iOS version is also unknown. Trying out the service is especially appealing given the free access to features that are paid in ChatGPT, such as the switch to the GPT-4 language model and access to DALL-E 3 which would otherwise cost $20 per month.
