LG TV AI Assistant Service Terminated
28 Oct
Summary
- Microsoft is terminating the Copilot service on LG TVs.
- The AI app faced backlash for being intrusive and hard to remove.
- Copilot on LG TVs was a browser shortcut, not a native app.
Microsoft has decided to terminate its Copilot service functionality on all televisions, including those manufactured by LG. Users of LG TVs began seeing a notification indicating the end of support for the Microsoft Copilot feature. This development arrives nearly a year after the AI assistant's integration into LG TVs in December 2025, which was met with significant user dissatisfaction.
Initial user complaints centered on the Copilot app being automatically pinned to the TV's home screen and the inability to remove it, leading some to criticize the forced integration of AI and bloatware. In response to this backlash, LG later provided users with the option to delete the application. It is suspected that the Copilot app's limited utility, essentially acting as a shortcut to a website within the TV's browser, contributed to its unpopularity.
