If you use Copilot on the web or in its apps, these new Copilot features focus on reducing friction, better storage, easier chat organization, and stronger support on Apple devices.
Windows Latest reports that the updates include storage, pinned chats, longer typing, as well as an updated Copilot experience on macOS and a new iPhone widget. Microsoft says some of this will be rolled out gradually, citing only the US as the first port of call for advanced storage.
Copilot’s storage and chat tools are being improved
Copilot is testing an advanced memory mode that can save preferences and recurring details instead of treating every prompt like a reset.
You also get clearer controls for checking what is being saved and managing what is being saved. More control is important when an assistant starts acting like they know you.
Pinned conversations are another benefit to quality of life. Your go-to threads can stay at the top, so you don’t have to search for the chat that contains the plan, draft, or ongoing checklist.
Microsoft hasn’t released a full timeline for when each region will get all features. So don’t be surprised if your account looks the same for a while.
Copilot is getting better at handling large inputs
Copilot also increases the cap on long prompts, now supporting 10,240 characters or more.
This is useful for dumping meeting notes, long emails, or rough drafts all at once and then redoing them without breaking everything into smaller pieces.
There is also a more structured way to deal with oversized inserts: Copilot can convert a long block of text to a file. Having a clean reference source helps make your workflow less chaotic.
Microsoft is also adding more ways to summarize and save group chats, which should be helpful when a quick thread needs a quick summary that you can reuse.
The Apple app upgrades are a real sleeper hit
On macOS, Copilot receives a wider range of upgrades to close functionality gaps to other platforms. Mac users shouldn’t need a workaround just to get the good tools.
Export improvements stand out here, as they make it easier to move Copilot output into whatever comes next, like a document, email draft, or shared file. That’s the difference between trying out a feature and trusting it.
On iPhone, Copilot adds a two-size widget to provide quicker entry points for common actions without having to open the full app.
If you’re paying attention to these new Copilot features, it’ll be handy to check your Copilot app updates and settings over the next few days, especially if you’re in the US, as that’s where expanded storage begins.
