"Microsoft made a big punt this year with Copilot. The company put its AI chatbot into a special line of laptops and has also tried to integrate it into other tech products. The latest place you may find Copilot is on your LG smart television, whether you want it or not. Several LG smart TV owners have taken to over the past few days to complain that they suddenly have a Copilot app on the device and cannot uninstall it."
"Two Engadget staffers discovered the app on a 2022 LG OLED and a 2023 UA8000. They confirmed that the app can't be removed, although they were able to hide it from the home screen. One other person from our team also has a 2022 LG OLED but isn't seeing Copilot, so your mileage may vary based on what permissions and privacy settings you already have set up with LG."
Copilot has been detected on LG smart televisions and confirmed present on two models. Microsoft integrated Copilot into laptops and is expanding into other devices, including LG TVs. Several owners reported a preinstalled Copilot app that cannot be uninstalled, though it can sometimes be hidden from the home screen. Two Engadget staffers found the app on a 2022 LG OLED and a 2023 UA8000; another 2022 LG OLED did not show the app, suggesting variation by permissions and privacy settings. LG announced Copilot-powered AI Search for upcoming TV models during CES 2025. The permanence of the app may prompt customer dissatisfaction.
