Fix all annoying Copilot bugs
I’m experiencing an issue with Microsoft Edge on Android. Starting today (September 22, 2026), whenever I try to visit copilot.microsoft.com, Edge automatically redirects me to the Google Play Store to install the Copilot app. I prefer using Copilot in the browser and do not want to install the app. And even when i try to install the copilot app it does not let me do anything and thinks I need a license or subscription to access it like copilot is litterly supposed to be free and also even when i try to get rid of the app redirection it for some dumb reason it redirects me to from copilot.microsoft.com to copilot.com and they put in restrictions like after a lot of chats you must wait for a specific time period and a couple months ago you guys removed the ability to use copilot without registration like come on that is so dumb I want Microsoft Copilot to be fixed revert how copilot was before how is this consumer friendly

Using your Microsoft Edge on Android. Try to open the same site using Desktop site. Here's how:

Once it opens, you can bookmark it as it is and you'll be able to access Copilot without being re-directed to the Google Playstore. Alternatively, the Playstore Copilot app is pretty good. As long as you are signed in, you'd be able to see the history of your conversations with Copilot once you go back to your desktop.
