Microsoft Revises Windows 11 'Recall' Feature After Privacy Concerns

The AI-powered tool will now require user opt-in and enhanced security measures before its June 18 release.

  • Recall feature will be disabled by default; users must opt in to activate it.
  • Biometric authentication via Windows Hello is required to access Recall data.
  • Enhanced security includes 'just in time' decryption and encrypted search index database.
  • Recall captures local screenshots, allowing users to search past activities on their PCs.
  • Microsoft aims to address privacy and security criticisms before launching Copilot+ PCs.
