Microsoft merges consumer and commercial Copilot apps into single interface
↗
Microsoft is combining its consumer Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot apps into a single unified app, eliminating the dual-icon experience while keeping personal and work account data separate within the same interface.
This consolidation simplifies deployment and management for organizations previously juggling two separate Copilot experiences, but the retirement of features like Podcasts and Deep Research means teams relying on those capabilities will need alternatives. The separate data boundaries between account types within the unified app preserve existing security and compliance controls.

Microsoft is merging its consumer Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot apps into a single unified app with an updated icon.
Podcasts, Deep Research, and Group Chat content will be retired or not carried over after August 18th, while Shopping and Copilot Health may be temporarily unavailable during rollout.
Personal and work account data will remain separate within the unified app, with no changes to enterprise security, compliance, or government controls.
