Microsoft recently acknowledged that it has received over a million applications to test its new ChatGPT-powered new Bing. The company also said that the new Bing is currently in the limited preview phase, hence, it is asking users to hang on for a little while to get access to the AI-powered Bing search engine. Similarly, he also shares a neat little trick to get ahead of the queue to access new Bing.
Microsoft is prioritising users with the Edge browser and Bing search engine. While Microsoft has started sharing invites with the users, if you want to test out Google’s version of the conversational AI tool Bard, you might have to wait for a few more months.

If you are a PC user and want to check out the new Bing, then you might have to wait for a while, especially if you are on a web browser like Chrome, Opera, or Firefox. Downloading the new Edge browser and setting Bing as the default search engine will be prioritised while sending invites to the new Bing, says Yusuf Mehdi — corporate vice president and consumer chief marketing officer, at Microsoft.
However, the company will bring the new Bing to all web browsers and one might have to wait for a few more weeks. Right now, the new Bing is active in over 169 countries and with over a million applications, the company will offer access to the new Bing to everyone in the coming days.
