Microsoft to discontinue its Copilot AI assistant on WhatsApp by January 15, 2026

Microsoft  will end its Copilot AI assistant on WhatsApp by January 15, 2026, following Meta’s new restrictions on general-purpose chatbots. Users must switch to Copilot’s native apps on iOS, Android, web, or Windows for full features like voice and vision. Chat histories won’t auto-transfer. The move shows Meta’s tighter control and Microsoft’s focus on centralizing AI within its ecosystem.
