The most annoying feature by Microsoft on a miniature scale when using mobile devices.

Scrolling through search results when using Bing search engine on mobile devices automatically switches over to the Copilot tab. There should be a switch in Search Settings (attached pictures) to disable Copilot in all search results.

Hi there, I am John J.D., a fellow Microsoft user like you.

I understand your frustration. Unfortunately, there isn't an option to disable Copilot in Bing's search engine settings, as it's integrated into the browsing experience. We're all users here, and Microsoft employees don't often visit the community, you can provide direct feedback to the Bing team by using the Feedback option at the bottom of the search results page.

In the meantime, I recommend downloading the Microsoft Edge app or the Bing app, as this feature isn't present in those platforms. I understand how frustrating this can be, and I hope this workaround helps improve your search experience.

Should you need any further information, please let me know.

John J.D.

Just a quick update:

The Microsoft Bing team has added a feature to disable the function that opens Copilot/Bing chat when scrolling down or attempting to refresh the page.

You can disable this feature by clicking on the Menu icon (≡) and toggling off "Scroll to open Copilot".

Our feedback has been heard. Congratulations!

John J.D.

    This is extremely condescending. CoPilot is not the "future". It's not evolution. That's all opinion on your part.

    What isn't opinion is that many, many users find it intrusive and useless. If removing Bing from my life is the cost of removing CoPilot, then so be it.

    In your opinion. As I have stated I find it to be an inaccurate annoyance.

    Good. I do not use it so why would I want it functional?

    Thanks for your reply.

    I didn't know that the Edge/Bing apps don't have that annoying feature.

    I use Firefox/Opera for its extra security features that other browsers lacks. I only use Bing search engine to collect search points for rewards.😂
