Microsoft has exciting news for Bing users as the company rolls out its new ChatGPT-powered Bing user interface for mobile devices. Though still limited to testers, the tech giant has already released the mobile version of Bing’s chatbot UI, as confirmed by some early users who shared screenshots. The new Bing user interface is optimized for mobile devices and comes with essential controls such as a microphone icon for hands-free query dictation.
Interestingly, the mobile Bing chatbot features a “tone” setting that gives users the option to choose from “More Creative,” “More Balanced,” and “More Precise” responses. Some speculate that this feature is Microsoft’s way of restoring Bing’s original tone, which recent updates have changed. However, the entire mobile version of the chatbot is still not supported, so this remains unconfirmed.
Microsoft is continuously testing and refining the new Bing, with the initial test starting on the desktop version of Bing. The company has now moved its test to the mobile experience and is working on a “substantial optimized interface” for Bing.com’s Chat UI for Android and iOS, which includes all-new OpenAI-powered content.
Previously, Microsoft had announced that the search engine’s chat feature will restrict users to 50 questions per day and five per session to prevent the bot from potentially insulting or manipulating users. Microsoft’s Bing team explained in a blog post that this move was based on data showing that the vast majority of users only require five turns to find their answers, and only 1% of conversations go beyond 50 messages. However, no such limit has been observed so far on the mobile version of Bing.
Testers who have access to the new mobile version of Bing have reported that it is not yet fully functional. Despite this, some testers have shared that they have started seeing the new UI and believe that it may go live soon. The Redmond company is working hard to find ways to make Bing’s original behavior still accessible to users, as evidenced by its testing of different modes, including the “Friend” mode that enables Bing to sympathize with users.
