Microsoft is gradually rolling out the AI-powered Windows Recall feature to Insiders in the Release Preview channel before making it generally available to all Windows users with Copilot+ PCs.
Recall is an opt-in Windows feature that screenshots active windows every few seconds, analyzes them, and allows Windows 11 users to search text within the snapshots using natural language.
As the Windows Insider Program Team said on Thursday, Recall can be paused whenever needed and will only allow access to the data it captures after authenticating via Windows Hello.
Exciting to see Microsoft moving into the final testing phase for Windows Recall! It’s always interesting (and a bit nerve-wracking) when new system-level features roll out. Hoping this improves productivity without compromising privacy. As someone who uses apps like Quicken regularly, I’m curious how this will affect compatibility and background performance fingers crossed for a smooth transition!
Nice try Microsoft
