OneNote on iPhone now summarises pages and answers questions about your notes
Microsoft rolled out a Copilot chat pane and summary button inside OneNote Mobile for iPhone. Licensed users can now ask questions about a page or get an automatic summary of its contents. The feature reaches users between mid-May and late June 2026. It requires an existing Microsoft 365 Copilot Premium licence. Rollout is limited to iPhone; iPad and Android versions are not mentioned.
Until now, readers kept notes in OneNote on their laptop during the day then checked email or Teams on their phone, with no reliable way to surface what they had written earlier. Action items stayed buried in pages that never made it into To Do or Planner. The new pane lets them query those same notes from the device they already carry, but only if they have already decided OneNote is their single source of truth. Without that decision, the feature simply adds another location where important details can disappear.
Analysis
Ignore the rollout until you first pick one note system that lives on both laptop and phone. Then open the iPhone app on a real page of meeting notes and test whether the summary actually extracts the action items you would otherwise miss.
