Solution 1Recommended

Verify Account Synchronization and Relogin

Ensure the Microsoft account logged into the Copilot app exactly matches the one linked to your Google Play subscription to force a license sync.

A common cause for this issue is a synchronization delay between the Google Play billing system and Microsoft's licensing servers. Manually re-authenticating your account can force the app to fetch the latest subscription status.

1
Check Microsoft Services page

Open a web browser on your phone and navigate to the Microsoft Services & subscriptions page (account.microsoft.com/services).

2
Verify active subscription

Log in with your Microsoft account and confirm that the Copilot Pro trial subscription is listed as active.

3
Sign out of the Copilot app

Open the Copilot app on your Android device, tap your profile icon in the corner, and select the option to sign out of your current account.

4
Sign back in

Sign back into the Copilot app using the exact same Microsoft account that you verified in the previous steps to restore your Pro access.

Verify Account Synchronization and Relogin
Sync Restored: Once signed back in, the app should immediately recognize your active Pro license and remove the trial prompts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Copilot Pro subscription showing in Google Play but not in the app?

This usually happens due to a synchronization delay between Google Play's billing system and Microsoft's licensing servers, or if you are logged into the Copilot app with a different Microsoft account than the one linked to the purchase.

Will I be charged if I tap 'Start Trial' again in the Copilot app?

If you tap to start the trial again, Google Play should recognize your existing active subscription and prevent a duplicate charge. However, it is safer to resolve the account sync issue first by signing out and back in.

How do I check if my Microsoft account has an active Copilot Pro license?

You can verify your active licenses by logging into account.microsoft.com via a web browser and navigating to the 'Services & subscriptions' tab.

Does clearing the Copilot app cache help with subscription sync issues?

Yes, clearing the app cache in your Android settings (Settings > Apps > Copilot > Storage > Clear Cache) can force the app to discard temporary data and fetch your latest subscription status directly from Microsoft's servers.
