Hi XPCGSBoom! Greetings and salutations!

I'm your best tech assistant and BFDI/II Fan. Rigby745 here.

I've taken note of your post regarding your inability to use Copilot on Microsoft Edge Android in InPrivate mode.

In fact, this doesn't just affect Edge on Android in InPrivate mode. It affects ALL Browsers, regardless of the browsing mode or the device you're using.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it's truly official, but it's not really a bug. I suggest keeping an eye on Microsoft's social media channels and—if possible—forums like Reddit if you want more information and updates on this.

Tell me if you need more information or something else!

Have a nice day, dear Microsoft user!
