What it is

Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): Proactive push notifications for the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app is a Microsoft 365 roadmap item published via Microsoft Release Communications. Current status: Cancelled.

What it does

The Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app will proactively send push notifications for common productivity workflows like 'Your Day at a Glance' and 'Items waiting for you', which send users to the respective Copilot response when opened. This feature taps into your Copilot Memory and will be available for users with Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses and can also be accessed once opening the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. Updated August 26, 2026: We have decided not to move forward with this change at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Why you should care

  • Board: Track as Horizon signal; decide whether it changes Wave 0 priority or stays on the watchlist.
  • CISO: Confirm identity, data access, and overshare exposure before enabling for broad cohorts.
  • CFO: Map licence or consumption impact to the frozen value case; avoid seat spray.
  • Adoption: Pilot with a named cohort and measure changed work, not vanity clicks.

Suggested action

Wave 0 first: Security → GRC → Cost & Value → Licence → Adoption. Log on Horizon; review with Counsel before tenant-wide change.

Communication needed

  • Security: Assess exposure, Conditional Access, and agent/tool permissions.
  • GRC: Update AI/agent register and evidence path; confirm DPIA triggers if personal data is in scope.
  • FinOps: Forecast seat or credit impact; align to frozen value case.
  • Adoption: Plan cohort messaging, clinics, and success measures.
  • Comms: One story for board and staff — what changes, what does not, who owns risk.

Benefits

  • May improve productivity on a specific Microsoft 365 surface when permissions and data quality allow.
  • Roadmap visibility helps Horizon planning without guessing dates.

Risks

  • Status and dates change; treat MRC as directional, not a contract.
  • Enabling without Steady controls can amplify overshare or cost leakage.
