How can I disable Copilot in Bing search engine?

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.

    No.

    Copilot cannot be removed from Bing... Bing is now Copilot and Copilot (AI) is an integral part of the OS. As for future plans in computing: To expand, broaden & deepen AI & Copilot in Edge, Windows & File Explorer. Welcome to the evolution.

    Cheers,

    Are there any immediate plans to rectify this and remove copilot not only from Bing search but also from the operating system? I do not consent to these products and want to see them gone as soon as possible. They are a blight on existence and you should be ashamed of trying to push them on us.

    Again, opinion was not the point or basis of what was said or the info given.

    It was strictly in regard to what removing the icon/button, actually, does.

    No, need to repeat this further.

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