How do I get Copilot off my Android phone? I didn't want Copilot taking over my phone screen and DEMANDING that I login to Microsoft Copilot AI to continue using my phone. I use Excel on my phone, Microsoft 365 installed itself without permission like a virus and now I have to fight for control of my phone every time someone sends me a spreadsheet. Copilot doesn't exist as an app that can be disabled. It has no control panels or switches. It's a malicious unwanted program. By definition a malware.

    Hello there,

    As a Microsoft Technical Advisor I apologise for any issues Copilot may be causing on your android and below will list some solutions which should possibly help solve this issue.

    1)Delete your copilot from Microsoft 365 and send a direct deletion request to Microsoft to do this follow the steps below;

    1.1) Sign into your my account portal with your work or school account at https://myaccount.microsoft.com/ 1.2) Navigate to settings and privacy -> Privacy -> 1.3) Under the 'Data options' navigate to copilot interaction history and select 'Delete'

    These steps was referenced from the following source and for further clarification on this visit: https://support.microsoft.com/office/76de8afa-5eaf-43b0-bda8-0076d6e0390f

    If this solution doesn't solve it, 2)Check Admin Settings; 2.1)On your android go to settings 2,2)Look for "Security" or "Lock screen and security" options. 2.3)Find and tap on "Device administrators" or a similar option. 2.4) Check if Copilot or any related Microsoft services are listed here with admin privileges, and uncheck the box next to copilot to revoke it's permissions

    Alternatively also filter the settings search bar to 'Permissions' and this should hopefully filter to the apps that have admin permissions which Copilot seems to have.

    1. Go to settings -> General-> Try to find CoPilot and remove all the relevant options to disable it.

    I hope the solutions and information provided above helps you come to a solution should you have anymore concerns do not hesitate to contact me.

    Thanks,

    Parth Patel.
