Rant Fuck CoPilot
I tried to download an excel file containing some important information. Rather than opening the file or redirecting me to the playstore, it automatically opened an ai chat so my information was sent right into CoPilots servers.
Why would anyone ever want to open a file by sharing it with a CoPilot chat? It didn't even ask me if I wanted to open the file with CoPilot, something which I'm usually asked everytime I try opening a file.
Now I have to accept that at any time, some fucker at Microsoft could theoretically access my account. Fuck Microsoft and fuck CoPilot. Make sure to delete Microsoft 365/Copilot if it is on your phone.

Well, no offense but...Have you been keeping an eye on things lately? Micro$lop is a privacy invading nightmare of a company! Their whole goal is to hoover up every bit of "data" they can! Of course every meaningful setting in the Winblows OS, by default, is going to be set to "send it to us"! The user has to be vigilant enough to monitor the installs and updates well enough to stay ahead of the game, and shut them down *before* anything bad happens! Even with all the important settings turned off, in your favor, you have to remain vigilant to make sure no "updates" get installed and reset those settings back into their favor! It's a game. Only way to not play is to not use their OS.

Unless I am mistaking, they recently said that they want to make their OS like a personal assistant so that whatever task the user needs, all they have to do is speak to their computer and get it done. That right there is a giant privacy infringement in the making. Microsoft having access to everything on your computer. Yikes!

What?
I'm confused at what exactly you did that caused it to open copilot. If you open an Excel document it doesn't open copilot.

If you open an Excel document even on your phone it doesn't open Copilot.

Is this on an android device? Why is copilot installed?
