How to Enable Microsoft Copilot’s New User Interface in Edge for Android

Microsoft has rolled out the updated Copilot experience, initially launched on desktop, to the Canary version of Edge for Android. This feature is currently accessible behind a flag. Here’s a guide on how to enable it.

Copilot acts as an AI assistant integrated within Microsoft Edge, enhancing your browsing journey by providing page summaries, answering queries, automating tasks, and connecting seamlessly with various Microsoft services.

Recently, a significant update introduced enhancements such as Voice mode, a refreshed user interface, a modern aesthetic, and overall performance upgrades. Although this new Copilot interface is already available for desktop and Copilot web applications, the rollout for Edge on Android has been pending.

With the recent Edge Canary update 133.0.2997.0, users can enable a new flag that transforms the Copilot experience into the updated version when the Copilot icon is clicked.

Previously, Microsoft provided an “|Copilot update” flag in Edge Canary and Dev, which redirected users to the Copilot app when needed, but this is no longer required. To activate the new Copilot design in Android Edge, follow these steps:

1. Open the latest version of Edge Canary.
2. Go to edge://flags.
3. Look for “Copilot Composer Fundamental” and set it to Enabled.
4. Restart the Edge browser.

Now, simply click on the new Copilot icon located on the search bar to engage with the revised Copilot interface. This update delivers the same Copilot layout that desktop users have been enjoying for some time now.

In addition, Microsoft Edge for Android has introduced a Self-Update feature similar to that found on the desktop version. This allows users to check for updates within the Settings and About Edge page, eliminating the need to frequently access the Google Play Store for updates.
