After intense scrutiny and concern from all over, Microsoft has made some major changes to its AI-powered Recall feature.
When Microsoft pulled back the curtain on Copilot Plus PCs in May, one announcement caught the eye of many cautious Windows users. One of the exclusive features coming to Copilot Plus PCs is called Recall, which uses artificial intelligence to take snapshots of the screen, store and analyze them locally, and then allow you to search for them on a visual timeline. Unsurprisingly, this set off alarm bells for many privacy-conscious users.
First, and perhaps most importantly, Microsoft is updating its Copilot Plus PC setup experience to make it more clear whether or not you're opting in or out of using Recall. If you buy a Copilot Plus PC, you will now see a new screen which describes the feature and then asks if you want Windows to be able to save snapshots of your screen. Microsoft is also requiring users to enroll in Windows Hello to enable Recall.
