Bing AI mobile finally launched. Microsoft’s AI-powered new Bing is on the headlines for a while, and now it’s coming to smartphones. Who doesn’t want an AI-powered chatbot in her/his pocket? The chatbot is now available on the Android and iOS versions of the Edge and Bing apps for users with access to it. So what about the others? Those who don’t have access yet will be able to try new Bing’s other AI features and get on the waiting list more easily via the mobile Bing app.
Bing AI is one the best AI search engines, and its chatbot has become a widely chosen ChatGPT alternative. While Google Bard AI was unstable and ChatGPT did not have a mobile app, Could Bing AI mobile be a game changer in the generative AI business? Let’s dig deeper.
Bing AI mobile features are out: Microsoft still leads the AI race over Google
Microsoft’s latest AI effort strengthens the company’s position as the AI industry leader. The newest AI chatbot feature from Microsoft Bing has just been released and is now accessible across devices and operating systems, including iOS, Android, Edge, and Skype.

Using Microsoft Bing AI’s chatbot feature, users can get answers relevant to their questions and interests with given prompts. Did you know that we ask these questions mostly from our smartphones?
“Because we know 64% of searches occur on mobile phones, we are releasing all new Bing and Edge mobile apps to serve as your copilot for the web even when you are away from your desktop.”
–Bing
Mobile users who were previously on the waiting list can now access Bing via the Microsoft Edge mobile browser and the Bing app. The bot’s features are the same as they are on the web. Also, you can control it with your voice.

How to use Bing AI mobile?

To start with Bing AI on iOS and Android, install the Microsoft Edge browser by clicking the appropriate link below.
After you log in, if you have early access, you can directly start to use the Bing AI chatbot with the blue button.
Do you want to buy a car these days? Let’s ask Bing AI chatbot but don’t forget the “specify.” When we asked, we used this prompt “What cars should I consider buying that are AWD, go 0-60 in less than 6 seconds, seat 6 or more and have decent reviews?”
If you wonder, the list continues with:
- 2022 Tesla Model Y
- 2022 Volvo XC90
- 2022 Acura MDX
Another nice thing about chatting with the Bing AI mobile chatbot is that it enriches its answers with Wikipedia-style references.
Changes have made Bing for iOS and Android more suitable for mobile use. By tapping the Bing icon in the bottom-right corner, you may initiate a chat session with all the same features (write an email, poem, list, etc.) and access the same answers and citations as on the desktop. The notice also stated that users can choose between displaying their responses as bullet points, regular text, or “simplified responses.”
If you don’t have early access, don’t worry you can easily join the waitlist.

Don’t you know what to do for your anniversary? Check out what demo Bing AI suggests:
Prompt: I am planning a trip for our anniversary in September. What are some places we can go that are within a 3 hour flight from London Heathrow?
“Congratulations on your anniversary! 🎉 There are many places you can go that are within a 3 hour flight from London Heathrow. Here are some suggestions based on your preferences and the best destinations in Europe in September⁴⁵⁶:
– If you like *beaches* and *sunshine, you can fly to **Malaga* in Spain¹, which has a pleasant climate, a lively culture, and a beautiful coastline. You can enjoy the sandy beaches, the historic monuments, and the delicious tapas. Malaga is also a great base to explore other nearby attractions, such as Granada, Seville, and Cordoba.
– If you like *mountains* and *lakes, you can fly to **Annecy* in France⁴, which is a charming alpine town near the Swiss border. Annecy is known as the “Venice of France” because of its canals and bridges. You can admire the stunning scenery, visit the medieval castle, and try some local cheese and wine. Annecy is also close to Geneva, Chamonix, and Lyon, if you want to see more of the region.
– If you like *art* and *history, you can fly to **Florence* in Italy⁶, which is the birthplace of the Renaissance and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Florence is a treasure trove of artistic and architectural masterpieces, such as the Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Ponte Vecchio. You can also explore the Tuscan countryside, taste the famous gelato, and shop for leather goods.
– If you like *culture* and *nightlife, you can fly to **Berlin* in Germany⁶, which is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city with a rich and diverse heritage. Berlin is a hub of creativity, innovation, and entertainment, with many museums, galleries, clubs, and festivals. You can also learn about the city’s history, from the Brandenburg Gate to the Berlin Wall, and enjoy the multicultural cuisine and beer.
I hope this helps you plan your trip. Have a wonderful anniversary! 😊”
How to use Bing AI on Skype?
The original VoIP platform is receiving its own dose of artificial intelligence. You can now have an AI-powered Bing chat with you on Skype and respond to your queries just as you would on Bing or Edge. When used in Skype group discussions, tagging Bing brings its AI knowledge and assistance into the discourse (which is still a little rough around the edges.) Tagging Bing with a question about when and where to stream the Academy Awards may come up in a conversation about making arrangements to watch the ceremony with pals. Voice queries can also be entered into Skype’s Bing, resulting in bullet points, text, or a kid-friendly tone.
Requests for it to develop suggestions, create messages, and produce other conceptual and linguistic output are likewise fair game. In addition to providing weather forecasts, travel times, and hotel details.
The results of early testing were slightly unsettling, but Microsoft is pushing forward with Bing, adding features like support for voice input and new mobile apps.
