Microsoft's Controversial Recall Feature Set for October Insider Preview
After significant privacy and security concerns, Microsoft will reintroduce the AI-powered screenshot tool with enhanced safeguards.
- Recall will be available to Windows Insiders with Copilot+ PCs starting in October.
- The feature takes periodic screenshots and stores them in an encrypted database.
- Access to the database requires Windows Hello authentication, and Recall will be off by default.
- Microsoft aims to leverage feedback from the Windows Insider community before a wider release.
- Initial reactions labeled Recall a 'privacy nightmare' due to unencrypted data storage.
