I've checked online. Apparently you could remove some sort of accessibility feature, but I don't see anywhere in the permissions to do that. All the responses have to do with windows and not Android phones. Does anybody else have this issue with their phone? Suddenly talking to them and telling them all about co-pilot when you have zero. Desire to hear about this. Right now. I tell I tell my phone to stop. I tried clicking the three button menu. I try hitting the copilot button at the bottom of the screen. Nothing turns it off. It won't shut up. The only way to stop it is to kill the edge browser app.

This also happened to me and I'm not exactly a technophobe. I had to Google how to turn it off. It's a preposterous feature, unbelievably silly UI design here in that you can't immediately shut the thing off. For my phone to speak to me out of nowhere I should have to positively ask it to do that (which I definitely didn't).
