Question

Edge on android - copilot summarising the first page summarised rather than the current page.

Hi. I'm using edge in android. When I open copilot and ask it to summarise a page it works on the first request. The next time I ask it to summarise it gives the summary of the first page I'd asked it to summarise. I have tried clearing edge cache, data and uninstalling/reinstall. Clearing copilot cache, data and uninstalling/reinstall. The only way to get it to summarise more than one page successfully is to force close edge in-between sessions. Copilot also comes up saying it's not connected and to retry about 10 seconds after opening with the exception of the first use after force closing chrome. Any ideas on what could be causing the problem or how to fix it?

So I appear to have fixed the lost connection error. This was only happening in the edge app itself when copilot was opened. This appeared to have been linked to phone permissions. I'm not sure which one it was as I just gave edge everything where initially it didn't have access to camera/phone/messages/location/nearby devices/mic/media. This has not fixed though the copilot only summarising the first page after a force close of the edge app. It still repeatedly gives the summary of the first page you summarised since the last force close. The summary changes each time, so it's not a connection issue I don't think, more an issue with the page it thinks you are on, caching maybe?
