Chat with Microsoft Copilot Inside Power BI Reports on Mobile (Preview) — Everything You Need to Know

Copilot Comes to Power BI Mobile: A Game-Changer for On-the-Go Analytics

Microsoft is pushing the boundaries of AI-powered business intelligence once again. If you rely on Power BI to drive decisions and you're constantly on the move, this update is for you. The next evolution of in-report Copilot on the Power BI mobile app is now available in Preview — bringing conversational AI directly into your reports, right from your smartphone or tablet.

This announcement is part of a broader wave of innovations unveiled at FabCon and SQLCon 2026, where Microsoft showcased its vision for unifying databases and Fabric on a single, complete platform. For a full overview of all announcements, we recommend checking out Arun Ulag's hero blog covering the complete FabCon and SQLCon 2026 releases across Fabric and database offerings.

What Is In-Report Copilot on Power BI Mobile?

In-report Copilot allows users to chat naturally with their Power BI reports using plain language — no complex DAX queries or filter navigation required. Previously available on desktop, this capability is now extending to the Power BI mobile app, making data insights accessible wherever business takes you.

Key Highlights of This Preview Feature

Conversational AI inside reports: Ask questions directly within a report and receive contextual, data-driven answers powered by Microsoft Copilot.
Mobile-first experience: Optimised for touch interfaces and smaller screens, so the experience feels native — not just a desktop port.
Faster decision-making: No need to wait until you're back at your desk — surface insights in real time from any location.
Preview access: This feature is currently in Preview, meaning early adopters can explore and provide feedback to help shape its final release.

Why This Matters for Your Business

Mobile analytics has long been a bottleneck in data-driven organisations. Teams in the field, executives in meetings, and sales professionals between client visits have historically needed to return to a desktop to get meaningful answers from their data. With Copilot now embedded in the Power BI mobile experience, that barrier is removed.

This aligns perfectly with Microsoft's broader Power Platform vision — empowering users to do more with less friction. If your organisation is already leveraging Power BI as part of its analytics strategy, enabling this feature could deliver immediate productivity gains.

At CRMONCE, we help organisations unlock the full potential of the Microsoft Power Platform, including Power BI, Power Automate, and Dynamics 365 implementations. Whether you're just getting started or looking to optimise an existing setup, our consulting services are designed to accelerate your success.

How to Get Started with Copilot on Power BI Mobile

Since this is a Preview feature, availability may depend on your Microsoft 365 or Fabric licence tier and your organisation's tenant settings. Here are the recommended steps to get started:

Ensure your organisation has Copilot enabled in your Power BI tenant settings.
Update the Power BI mobile app to the latest version on iOS or Android.
Open a compatible report and look for the Copilot chat icon within the report interface.
Start asking questions in natural language and explore the insights Copilot surfaces.
