Microsoft is really bringing its AI chatbot Copilot up to speed with its PC counterpart with the latest update of the app version for Android and iOS devices.
Copilot now has plug-in support for Microsoft Edge, making it much easier for users to access, manage, and explore the browser app.
Most plug-in extensions on PCs can now also be used on mobile devices.
The feature automatically comes with the latest update but can also be accessed by opening Edge and entering "Edge://flags" to check if the Experimental flags for Copilot are on.
The update came days after news outlets first reported the app's appearance on the Play Store. Copilot's mobile version was quietly launched by Microsoft weeks ago.

What Can Copilot's Plug-Ins Do?
Like other browsers with plug-in support, Copilot's plug-in function is made to make the browsing experience more optimized and customizable.
Copilot can now be used to transcribe and summarize YouTube videos in an instant. Just activate the app while watching on Edge; the feature can be accessed immediately.
Another common feature is its quick-search function to provide summarized search results easily. It can be helpful when looking for recipes, movie synopsis, and reviews.
Thanks to the upgrade, Tech-savvy users can also insert their own plug-ins into their phones via the Microsoft Copilot Studio.
Overall, the latest app update does not have many "new" features, but it brings all the benefits from its computer browser version to mobile devices.
Microsoft Aims to Bring Copilot to All of Devices
Since it was first launched in early February, Microsoft has been trying to bring Copilot across all of its devices.
Just last month, the tech giant announced that it is bringing Copilot to the latest version of Windows 10.
It would come as no surprise if Microsoft also moved the AI to its other platforms like Xbox and Skype.
The chatbot is aimed to replace Cortana as more than just a navigation tool. The AI first became available on Windows 11 devices.
