How do I get Copilot off my Android phone?

How do I get Copilot off my Android phone? I didn't want Copilot taking over my phone screen and DEMANDING that I login to Microsoft Copilot AI to continue using my phone. I use Excel on my phone, Microsoft 365 installed itself without permission like a virus and now I have to fight for control of my phone every time someone sends me a spreadsheet. Copilot doesn't exist as an app that can be disabled. It has no control panels or switches. It's a malicious unwanted program. By definition a malware.

    I've gone one better and cancelled my 365 Subscription altogether.

    I've found free alternative products for everything Microsoft offers.

    If i really need to use a MS product I use the free online version.

    Good Job Microsoft Marketing Team

    My wife is from South Africa. All the students in her family are very poor and can't even afford the data to run microsoft products. The subscriptions may as well be a Rolls Royce to them, they are about as affordable.

    Good job on helping Africa Gates.

    I am retired after 36 years in corporate IT, cloud services and cyber security. Everything I ever did was windows based (since Win95!). I'm used to the OS. But this push to cloud and AI... IMHO is unnecessary. Not for a retiree whose whole IT world is contained to a laptop in a bedroom in a home. I'm a functional adult, perfectly capable of writing my own Emails and letters, of critically thinking through my own research, and I have enough external storage devices that keeping my **** on a "Cloud" is pointless.

    I am going to keep with Thunderbird. I really like Mozilla - I use Firefox because I can install extensions that block all the **** that Edge allows. Thunderbird feels really, intrinsically basic - and it is all that I really need, but thanks for the pointer! Noted.

    My technological life right now is contained to a Microsoft Surface laptop. In a past life, I actually was quite proficient with Unbutu (Linux), and that OS will be my fallback when MS decides that my current PC needs to be replaced.

    Yeah. It's much more of an aggravation than a benefit of any kind!
