This consolidation, which began rolling out on mobile and web in mid-August 2026, aims to simplify the user experience across Windows, macOS, and mobile platforms while maintaining strict data separation between personal and professional accounts. The Microsoft 365 app is being rebranded as the Microsoft 365 Copilot app to integrate chat and image generation with productivity tools like Word and Excel. To streamline the interface, Microsoft is retiring several features, including Copilot Podcasts, Group Chat, and Deep Research. Additionally, the experimental =COPILOT() function in Excel is scheduled for discontinuation on September 14, 2026, as capabilities are moved to the Copilot side pane.
