Microsoft 365 App Transitions to Microsoft 365 Copilot App

Copilot comes to the Microsoft 365 portal

June 9, 2025 — 

The Microsoft 365 app has transitioned to the Microsoft 365 Copilot app across web, mobile (iOS, Android), and Windows platforms. This change introduces an entirely new user experience and reflects the integration of Copilot within the Microsoft 365 app, improving its functionality.

Key changes:

  • New Name and Icon: The app is now called the Microsoft 365 Copilot app, with a new icon to reflect this change.
  • Enhanced Functionality: The app continues to serve as a productivity hub, allowing users to find, create, share, and collaborate in one place. The integration of Copilot introduces AI-driven features for tasks such as asking questions, creating content, drafting documents, and building agents.

How does this impact me?

  • A fresh look and feel: The user interface (UI) has been modernized for clarity and ease of use, including cleaner layouts, smarter menus, and a more consistent experience across apps. Helpful tip: Use the built-in walkthrough the first time you open the Copilot app – it’s a great way to get oriented.
  • Updated URL: The web URL has been updated to m365.cloud.microsoft, with automatic redirects from office.com and microsoft365.com. So update those Bookmarks.
  • Free access to Copilot chat: Users with a Microsoft 365 license or a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can access Copilot Chat at no additional cost.
