Frequently asked questions about Microsoft Copilot for Android
What is GPT-5 Smart mode and how do I access it?
GPT-5 Smart mode is Copilot's adaptive AI experience that combines the best reasoning and chat models into one cohesive experience. It automatically selects the optimal AI model (including GPT-5, Claude Sonnet 4, Claude Opus 4.1, or Gemini 2.5 Pro) based on your query complexity, task type, and required reasoning depth. To access it, select 'Smart' mode in the app. The system intelligently determines whether your task requires simple automation or complex reasoning and routes it to the appropriate AI processing path without requiring manual model switching.
Do I need to sign in to use Microsoft Copilot on Android?
No, you don't need to sign in for most basic chat functionality. The app is free and doesn't require logging in with a Microsoft account or email for chatting. However, you must sign in with a Microsoft account if you want to generate images with DALL-E 3. Signing in also unlocks unlimited queries (removing the 5-prompt daily limit for anonymous users) and provides longer, more detailed responses.
What are the image generation limits for Copilot?
Free accounts and non-licensed Microsoft 365 accounts are limited to approximately 15 image generations per day through Designer. Copilot Pro subscribers get up to 100 boosts (image generations) daily. Microsoft 365 Copilot license holders (Business and Enterprise) receive unlimited image generation. Each image generation uses one boost, and the daily limit resets every 24 hours.
How does Copilot differ from Microsoft 365 Copilot?
Microsoft Copilot (the personal app) is for individual personal use, accessed with a personal Microsoft account (MSA), and focuses on personal tasks like learning, creativity, and everyday questions. It does not integrate with work data. Microsoft 365 Copilot is for work and education environments, requires an organizational license, integrates with Microsoft Graph data (documents, emails, organizational resources), and provides features for productivity in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams. The personal Copilot app is web and mobile-only, while 365 Copilot works across web, mobile, and desktop within Microsoft 365 apps.
What AI models does Copilot use?
Copilot orchestrates multiple AI models including GPT-5 (in Smart mode), GPT-4, Claude Sonnet 4, Claude Opus 4.1, and Gemini 2.5 Pro. The Smart mode automatically routes each prompt to the most appropriate AI based on task complexity, required reasoning depth, and response speed priorities. For image generation, Copilot uses DALL-E 3. The free tier includes Smart Mode routing with usage caps, while paid tiers provide priority access to premium models including GPT-5.
Can I use voice chat with Copilot on Android?
Yes, Copilot on Android supports AI voice chat. You can chat with AI through messages or with your voice to bring information straight to you. Voice chat allows you to compose stories or scripts, create high-quality visuals from text prompts with voice commands, and spark inspiration for new tasks. The app supports real-time voice conversation where you can converse with Copilot using your voice.
What languages does Copilot support for translation?
Copilot can translate and proofread across hundreds of languages, including regional dialects. The AI chat assistant optimizes text you need in this extensive language coverage, making it useful for international communication and understanding content in different languages.
Is my data private when using Copilot?
Yes, Microsoft states that no data is shared with third parties and no data is collected. Data is encrypted in transit, and you can request that data be deleted. Prompts and responses are not used to train foundation models. For personal Copilot users, your data is not available to OpenAI or used to train OpenAI models. Microsoft protects user data under comprehensive security, privacy, and compliance commitments.
