Microsoft moves to resolve privacy concerns over its Recall feature


Microsoft is making changes to its Recall feature on Copilot+ PCs in an attempt to resolve privacy concerns. The tool will be opt-in, so it won’t screenshot your activity without permission.

Microsoft has attempted to soothe privacy concerns regarding Recall, an upcoming Windows feature that’s said to help users resurface just about anything they’ve previously done or looked at on a Copilot+ PC. That naturally involves keeping tabs on how you use your computer in one way or another, which has raised privacy concerns over data storage and access. Recall will be opt-in, meaning that the feature won’t take snapshots (i.e. screenshots) of what you’re doing every few seconds or log your activity without your explicit permission.
