What is new in Microsoft 365 Copilot app for April 2025

Hi, Microsoft 365 Insiders! My name is Lisa Svensson, and I’m a Senior Product Marketing Manager for the Microsoft 365 Copilot app (formerly the Microsoft 365 (Office) app) available on the web, desktop, iOS and Android devices. It’s been an exciting year where we kicked off 2025 with a brand-new look and feel—reintroducing ourselves with a new app name and refreshed icon to better represent the integration of Copilot.

What’s New in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app – April 2025​

With early adopters, like yourselves, already weaving AI into your daily lives, there’s even more capabilities with Copilot now included in your Microsoft 365 Personal and Family plans announced here. This means consumer subscribers get access to Copilot in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote and the Microsoft 365 Copilot app covered here—now including Copilot Chat.*

This round-up covers new enhancements to the Microsoft 365 Copilot app on the web, on desktop (Windows and Mac), and on mobile (Android and iOS) for consumers with a Microsoft 365 subscription.

Say hello to Copilot Chat!​

Meet Copilot Chat, your AI assistant for personal productivity. It’s your starting place to brainstorm and ask questions about the latest news, prep interview questions, or recommend hotspots to check out for a girls trip to Nashville. You can leverage ready-made prompts on the screen to kick off the conversation or type in your own questions to see where the conversation goes. There’s more prompting tips here to get you started.

Copilot Chat is powered by OpenAI models and grounded in the latest information on the web to generate responses. While AI generates these responses and strives for accuracy, it can occasionally make mistakes. To help you verify the information, Copilot provides references for where the information originated.

Continue chatting across devices with the Microsoft 365 Copilot app​

Whether you’re using Copilot Chat on the web, In the desktop app, or switching over to your Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app, you can reference previous chats across devices and stay in the flow. I’ve been playing around with Copilot Chat myself and it’s become a vital tool in my everyday life. I turn to it for in-depth decision making on things like leasing a car, negotiation tactics, and calculating my budget based on the local car market.

Go from chat to create with your favorite apps in one place​

Another perk of using Copilot Chat during your brainstorm process is copying answers and outputs into documents to create travel itineraries, budgets, and presentations across apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Designer integrated into the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. You can get inspired and save time with Designer—creating custom images, stickers, and other designs by simply describing your idea, or easily editing photos to remove unwanted distractions, moving people or objects, and more.**

The Microsoft 365 Copilot app also saves your files in one place with easy access to OneDrive cloud storage—showing you a list of files you recently opened.
