Microsoft continues to double down on Copilot—not just by integrating it deeper into Windows and other company platforms, but also by strengthening its presence on mobile devices. The Copilot app, available for free on both iOS and Android, has already brought Microsoft’s AI assistant to users on the go, offering chat capabilities and much more.
Now, according to Microsoft’s official announcements, exciting new features are on the way to the mobile version of Copilot. Among them is the highly anticipated Copilot Vision, a major update that unlocks an entirely new range of possibilities for mobile users.
What is Copilot Vision and How Can It Help You?
If you haven’t heard yet, Copilot Vision is one of the newest features coming to Microsoft’s AI assistant, Copilot, on mobile devices. This smart tool allows Copilot to use your phone’s camera to “see” what you see—opening up a whole new world of real-time help, guidance, and interaction.
With Copilot Vision, you can point your camera at just about anything and get instant assistance. Whether you’re trying to rearrange your living room, explore a new city, identify something unfamiliar, or navigate through a busy airport, this feature offers on-the-spot support and ideas. It’s like having a helpful guide in your pocket.
To use Copilot Vision, you’ll need to sign in with your Microsoft account in the Copilot app on your smartphone. Right now, this feature is only available for users in the United States, but Microsoft has announced that it’s rolling out to more countries outside Europe in the coming weeks.
What can Copilot Vision actually do?
- Suggest design ideas for your space
- Help you recognize objects or landmarks
- Offer photo editing tips
- Understand shapes, items, or surroundings
- Give app recommendations based on what you’re looking at
And importantly, Microsoft has confirmed that this feature is entirely optional. You can turn it on or off anytime within the app settings, so you remain in control of when and how you use it.
Deep Research, Copilot Actions, and other features that will arrive in Copilot
While Copilot Vision grabbed most of the spotlight in Microsoft’s recent announcement, the company also shared other exciting updates headed to the Copilot mobile app.
One of the key additions is Deep Research, a powerful feature for users subscribed to Copilot Pro. Available on PC, mobile, and web, Deep Research helps tackle complex tasks that involve multiple steps, deeper analysis, and information synthesis. It’s designed for those times when you need more than a quick answer—you need a thoughtful, structured response.
Another new tool on the way is Copilot Actions for mobile. This feature allows Copilot to carry out tasks on the web on your behalf, using your name where necessary. It’s especially useful for placing orders, booking hotels, reserving restaurants, and more. Currently, Copilot Actions is available for Copilot Pro users in:
- Australia
- Canada
- United States
- United Kingdom
- India
- New Zealand
- South Africa
Microsoft didn’t stop there. The company has also expanded Copilot Cards, adding a brand-new category dedicated to cryptocurrencies. These interactive cards provide real-time data, charts, summaries, and news about the crypto world, supporting over 100 different cryptocurrencies along with local currency options.
Thanks to these updates, users can access detailed information and stay informed around the clock, whether they’re curious about Bitcoin trends, market shifts, or the latest crypto news.
With these improvements, Microsoft is steadily turning Copilot into a more versatile and capable assistant, giving users powerful tools right at their fingertips.
