How to Use Bing AI Chatbot on Android and iPhone Keyboard

Once the setup is complete, you will find the Bing icon at the top left corner of the keyboard. Tapping on it will reveal three options — Search, Tone, and Chat. Search is selected by default. Search: This feature will fetch search results from Bing directly right inside the keyboard. No need to open the Edge browser. You can search by both text and image by switching between the magnifying glass and the image icon at the bottom. Tone: It lets you rephrase the text to different tones, including for professional, casual, polite, and social settings. If you are happy with the new tone, tap on Accept to auto-insert it or Copy to later copy-paste in another app. Chat: It works just like regular Bing AI Chat, where you can choose the conversation style and then type your query or speak it by using the mic. From there, you can copy any answer from the conversation and use it anywhere you want. Tap on the double-rectangle icon to copy the answer. And to clear all your conversations, simply hit the broom icon to begin a fresh conversation.
