IT Home reported on October 29 that tech outlet Windows Central published a post yesterday (October 28) saying some LG smart TV users had received notices that the service was ending. Microsoft will discontinue the Copilot service on all TVs, including LG models.
IT Home reported in December 2025 that LG TVs automatically installed Microsoft's Copilot AI app after a pushed webOS system update, with no option in the system to uninstall or remove it.
LG subsequently responded that the Copilot icon appearing on its TVs was not a conventional native app but merely a web browser shortcut intended to “improve customer convenience.” Clicking the icon takes users to Microsoft's AI service page in the browser, rather than running a separate monitoring program in the background.
According to the latest announcement, the feature is no longer available, though the notice gave no specific end date. Some speculate that, if the partnership operates under an annual agreement, the service could be shut down around December 2026.
