Microsoft Copilot is testing a new feature called \u2018Reminders,\u2019 and it\u2019s rolling out to everyone on mobile with partial support for the web. I do not pay for Copilot\u2019s $20 subscription, but I still have access to the Reminders feature, as it\u2019s also available for free users. However, if you pay for Microsoft 365 Personal, you will get additional Reminders.<\/p>\n

All gen-AI tools are trying to be all-rounders, which is why we\u2019re seeing features like Reminders in tools like ChatGPT or Copilot. Regardless, Reminders is actually a pretty decent idea, and I\u2019ve some use cases that you can try.<\/p>\n

\"Copilot<\/p>\n

For example, if you ask Copilot to remind you to cancel your Microsoft 365 subscription in five minutes, it\u2019ll send an alert to your connected mobile device with Copilot. Or you can ask Copilot to remind you about an important meeting. Copilot is aware of your device\u2019s time and date, so it can also send reminders in less than a minute.<\/p>\n

However, the alert\/notification won\u2019t pop up if you\u2019ve disabled permissions for Copilot on Android or iOS.<\/p>\n

\"Copilot<\/p>\n

In a statement to Windows Latest, Microsoft told us that Reminders work across devices, but the alerts are sent to mobile devices only. It\u2019s unclear if support for Reminders will be added to the Windows 11 Copilot version in the next version.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo receive them, the Copilot app needs to be installed, and notifications turned on,\u201d Microsoft explained in a statement to Windows Latest.<\/p>\n

Copilot reminders can be one-time or recurring, so you could ask Copilot to remind you every Monday to review your presentation before weekly meetings.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeaning the content can change each time, like Teach me a new Spanish word every day,\u201d Microsoft said.<\/p>\n

It is also worth noting that you can have up to 5 reminders with free accounts, or up to 20 if you\u2019re using a Microsoft 365 subscription.<\/p>\n

To manage reminders, open Copilot on mobile, select Settings, and then try to delete or add reminders.<\/p>\n
