What the notice says
Microsoft's text, with its sections, lists and tables; source markup removedWhat and Why
We’re simplifying access to Copilot Chat in the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app (iOS and Android). With this update, two legacy mobile-only controls will no longer restrict Copilot Chat access in the mobile app: the Intune policy "com.microsoft.office.officemobile.BingChatEnterprise.IsAllowed" and Privacy control "Analyze content".
This change helps provide a more consistent Copilot Chat experience across mobile, web, and desktop for users who are already allowed to access Copilot Chat.
Rollout Schedule
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out on mid-August 2026 and expect to complete by late September 2026.
Impact on your organization
The following controls will no longer restrict Copilot Chat access in the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app:
- The Intune policy “com.microsoft.office.officemobile.BingChatEnterprise.IsAllowed”.
- The “Analyze content” privacy control.
With this, affected users will regain access to Copilot Chat in the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app, consistent with their access on web and desktop apps. This change is on by default. No action is required from users.
Action Required/Recommendations
No admin action is required for this change.
You may want to:
- Review whether your organization currently relies on the Intune app configuration key com.microsoft.office.officemobile.BingChatEnterprise.IsAllowed or the “Analyze content” privacy control to restrict Copilot Chat on the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app. Review the updated Learn article to learn more about these controls.
- Inform your helpdesk or support teams so they can respond to questions from users who regain access to Copilot Chat on the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app.
- Update internal documentation that references these controls as a way to restrict Copilot Chat access on mobile.
- If your organization needs to restrict Copilot Chat on the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app, review available administrative options, including using Integrated Apps settings to block Copilot across web, desktop, and mobile, or blocking the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app to restrict mobile access.
