Overview
- LG’s webOS 25 rollout in Europe and North America places a prominent Copilot tile on the home screen that cannot be removed, only hidden.
- Reports differ on how Copilot works: some describe a system app with voice functions, while heise says the tile merely opens Copilot in the built‑in browser.
- The same update enables LG’s Live Plus by default, which recognizes what appears on screen and sends viewing data to LG unless users opt out in settings.
- Owners have voiced strong frustration on Reddit and X over the forced placement and privacy implications, with highly upvoted threads detailing the change.
- LG and Microsoft have offered no public explanation; suggested workarounds include turning off Live Plus, disconnecting the TV from the internet, or using an external streaming stick.
