Microsoft Outlook adds support for Copilot for mobile apps as part of its latest updates

Published on

Microsoft has announced some new features it’s adding to its various Outlook personal email apps for the month of May. One of the biggest new additions is support for Copilot in the Outlook mobile app for iOS and Android.

Today’s blog post Announcing that if you sign up for a $20/month Copilot Pro subscription, you’ll be able to access Copilot’s generative AI assistant in the Outlook mobile apps. Copilot can be used to guide people on how to write an effective email or you can ask it to simply create a draft from scratch based on some text prompts.

Microsoft also announced that the classic Outlook for Windows app now supports the Copilot Summarize feature, which can create a short summary of a long email thread. The classic Outlook app also supports Copilot training, and Microsoft plans to add the draft feature to the app in the coming months.

In addition, Outlook for the web, the new Outlook for Windows app, and the Outlook mobile apps now display the sender’s name, full email address, and subject line for emails sent to the Spam folder. Microsoft stated:

This simple change helps people make better decisions about whether to open or delete mail instead of hovering over the sender’s name or opening the message.

This improvement will be added to the Mac Outlook app later in May. Speaking of the spam file, all Outlook applications will now display a pop-up warning message when users check their spam section. This will inform them that links in these emails will not work unless the user specifically requests to visit those links.

Finally, Microsoft has begun rolling out support for IMAP accounts in the new Outlook for Windows app with support for POP email accounts to be added in the coming weeks.
