Last month, Microsoft decided to rebrand all of its Bing Chat features as Copilot, as well as rolling all of the features of the former into the latter. Now, it looks like you can get access to the latter via a standalone app on Android as well.
One of the first to make the discovery was a user on X, previously Twitter, with the handle @technosarusrex. The listing on the Google Play Store indicates that the app has been around since 19 December, so only very slightly over a month since the rebranding. That being the case, the Bing Chat app is still listed when you search for it, or indeed the new Microsoft Copilot app.
While it can be confusing to see two apps which do seemingly the same thing being listed together, there’s really no reason to get the former now. From the looks of it, Copilot can do everything that Bing Chat can before the rebranding, or merger, depending on your perspective.
All that is to say that you can use the Copilot app for chatbot conversations, queries and prompts, generate images using DALL-E 3, or even draft documents and emails. As a bonus, you can also make it use the GPT-4 model, something that you’ll have to pay to access via ChatGPT.
So far, it doesn’t look like there’s a Copilot app for iOS just yet. But as mentioned, since it and the older Bing Chat app are essentially the same thing besides their names. Unless you must have that GPT-4 toggle, that is.
