If you use Copilot on web or in its apps, these Copilot new features focus on cutting friction, better memory, easier chat organization, and stronger support on Apple devices.

Windows Latest reports that the updates cover memory, pinned chats, longer inputs, plus a refreshed Copilot experience on macOS and a new iPhone widget. Microsoft says some of it is rolling out gradually, and it only calls out the US as the first stop for advanced memory.

Copilot’s memory and chat tools level up

Copilot is testing an advanced memory mode that can retain preferences and recurring details instead of treating every prompt like a reset.

You also get clearer controls to review what’s being remembered and manage what gets saved. More control matters when an assistant starts acting like it knows you.

Pinned conversations are another quality of life win. Your go-to threads can stay at the top, so you’re not hunting for the chat that has the plan, the draft, or the running checklist.

Microsoft hasn’t shared a full timetable for when every region gets every feature, so don’t be surprised if your account looks the same for a bit.

Copilot is getting better at handling big inputs

Copilot is also raising the ceiling for long prompts, with support for 10,240 characters or more.

That’s useful for dumping meeting notes, long emails, or rough drafts in one go, then iterating without slicing everything into smaller chunks.

There’s also a more structured way to deal with oversized pastes, Copilot can convert a long block of text into a file. If you like keeping a clean source to reference, this makes the workflow feel less messy.

Microsoft is also adding more ways to summarize and save group chats, which should help when a fast thread needs a quick recap you can reuse.

The Apple app upgrades are the sleeper hit

On macOS, Copilot is getting a broader set of upgrades meant to close feature gaps with other platforms. Mac users shouldn’t need a workaround just to get the good tools.

Export improvements stand out here, since they make it easier to move Copilot output into whatever comes next, like a document, an email draft, or a shared file. That’s the difference between trying a feature and relying on it.

On iPhone, Copilot is adding a widget in two sizes for quicker entry points to common actions without opening the full app.

If you’re watching for these Copilot new features, the practical move is to check your Copilot app updates and settings over the next few days, especially if you’re in the US, since that’s where advanced memory starts.

A simple coding mistake is exposing API keys across thousands of websites
Security gaps that are easier to miss than you think

After analyzing 10 million webpages, researchers have found thousands of websites accidentally exposing sensitive API credentials, including keys linked to major services like Amazon Web Services, Stripe, and OpenAI.

This is a serious issue because APIs act as the backbone of the apps we use today. They allow websites to connect to services like payments, cloud storage, and AI tools, but they rely on digital keys to stay secure. Once exposed, API keys can allow anyone to interact with those services with malicious intent.

Researchers are teaching AI chatbots to read between the lines
Generative AI

Have you ever asked a chatbot something and felt like it completely missed your point? You say something with a bit of nuance, and the AI misses the subtlety entirely. That is exactly the problem researchers are trying to solve.

Even though the emotional connection with AI can feel deeper than human conversation for many users, most AI systems today still treat a sentence as a single block of sentiment. If you mix praise and criticism, the nuance often gets lost.
