This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off Copilot personalization for your Microsoft account on Web, Windows 11, Windows 10, and Microsoft Edge.
Microsoft Copilot is an AI-powered digital assistant designed to help you with a range of tasks and activities.
When you sign in to Copilot with your Microsoft account Copilot uses your Microsoft account to provide personalized assistance and access by default to a wide range of features. For example, saving and syncing your Copilot chat history on all devices you sign in to Copilot with the same Microsoft account.
If you turn on personalization, Microsoft will use your recent conversations and Microsoft activities to personalize your Copilot experience. Your Microsoft activities may, depending on your privacy settings, include your Bing search activities, MSN activities, and inferred interests. Copilot remembers your history and may make inferences from that history about your interests, hobbies, etc., to provide personalized experiences.
Personalization is on by default except for those in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, and certain other countries.
If you do not want us to personalize using a specific conversation from your chat history, search history or inferred interests, you can delete them on the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard. Once deleted, the chats will not be used to personalize experiences.
You can turn off personalization at any time. Turning off personalization won’t delete your chat history.
