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.
Processes in Microsoft 365 for setting up Office apps, redeeming product keys, and activating licenses.

So how did you do it? I haven't found nothing that works yet!
Parth!
Thank you! In general, I do not like AI; it's why I left the Meta platform and why I will not use iOS. I do not trust it embedded in every facet of my technology. I'd like to think I am still a functional adult who can create my own content in my own words. That said - I did not like CoPilot appearing... everywhere. Microsoft office, my phone, etc.
Your instructions worked! I was able to clear the CoPilot cache on my MS account, deleted the CoPilot app and the Office 365 with CoPilot (it nicely reverted back to the non-Copilot version), and removed the hooks on my Android phone.
Some day, when I need a robot to spoon-feed me jello, perhaps I will personally rely on AI again, but until that times comes...
Cheers!

Sure, private account and none of these "android" config options exist in my samsung galaxy. What a joke
I have the same issue. Since I reset my phone it came as an automatic update. When I click a link from my email, instead of going to a bing browser and opening it up, it goes to Copilot and it's only a one shot deal. Anything after that, it opens whatever the last link was and I have to restart my phone just to open another ink. It's useless and annoying and I want to know how to get it off if my phone permanently, but you can't find it!
