Impact on your organization: The following controls will no longerrestrict Copilot Chat access in the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app:  The Intune policy “com.microsoft.office.officemobile.BingChatEnterprise.IsAllowed”.   The “Analyze content” privacy control.  With this, affected users will regainaccess to Copilot Chat in the Microsoft 365 Copilot mobile app, consistent withtheir access on web and desktop apps. This change is on by default.
