The Microsoft Bing app is Microsoft's free search app for phones. Download it from the Google Play Store on Android or the App Store on iPhone and iPad; the publisher should be Microsoft Corporation.
What the Bing app does
- Web, image, video and news search, with results tuned for phones.
- Voice search and visual search with your camera.
- Copilot, Microsoft's AI assistant, built in.
- The daily Bing homepage image.
- Microsoft Rewards points for searching, in supported countries.
It's free, with ads in the results as on bing.com. Signing in with a Microsoft account is optional but needed for Rewards and to keep history in sync with your computer.
