Copilot expands to mobile with reminder alerts on Android and iOS

New Delhi: Microsoft Copilot is now gearing up for something new: the Reminders feature that will send push notifications to the user’s smartphone. This latest feature is being rolled out on Android and iOS, with partial support on the web. With this newest upgrade, if the user asks Copilot on the web to remind them of something, this latest Reminder will not be delivered if notification permissions for Copilot are disabled on Android and iOS.

While this feature is still in testing, it is reported to been rolled out widely. Microsoft has also stated that Copilot Reminders sync across devices, but notifications are currently delivered only on mobile.

The company has not yet confirmed whether reminder alerts will be supported on the Windows 11 version of Copilot in a future update. Users must have the Copilot application installed and notifications enabled to receive reminder alerts. Reminders can be set as one-time or recurring, enabling tasks such as weekly meeting preparation to be scheduled. Microsoft has also added that the reminder content can vary each time, such as receiving the latest Spanish word daily.

Those who are having free Copilot users can create up to five reminders, while Microsoft 365 subscribers can set up to 20 reminders. Reminders can be managed from the Copilot mobile applications by opening Settings, where users can view, add, or delete existing reminders.
