Microsoft launches mobile apps for Copilot Cowork on iOS and Android
Microsoft released Copilot Cowork mobile applications for iOS and Android on May 5. The apps allow users to hand multistep tasks to AI from their phones and connect directly to Dynamics 365, Fabric and partner systems such as HubSpot. Availability stays limited to Frontier customers. Some features remain in preview while partner connectors roll out over the next few weeks. The update extends AI coordination from desktop to mobile devices for those who qualify.
Until now most mid-sized teams used their phones only to scan email and left any coordinated work for later desktop sessions. This kept mobile time fragmented and forced repeated context switches between Outlook, Teams and task lists. The new apps promise AI that can execute across systems from anywhere, yet the Frontier restriction leaves the majority of 50-500 employee companies with the same manual mobile habits. Those teams continue to lose minutes each hour to unfiltered notifications and disconnected apps while larger competitors test the next layer of automation.
Analysis
This release changes nothing for your licence and your company size. Treat it as a signal to stop treating the phone as an email-only device. Open the existing Teams and To Do mobile apps this afternoon, link them to your current Outlook and channel data, then lock notifications to direct mentions only.
