Microsoft’s Recall Feature: A Privacy Nightmare Turned Optional

Microsoft’s new Recall feature in Windows 11, which screenshots everything you do, will now be opt-in. Initially default-on, it’s now off unless you enable it, addressing major security concerns.

Hot Take:

Microsoft’s new Recall feature is like having a nosy neighbor with a camera pointed at your window, but hey, at least now you can close the blinds if you want! Opt-in is the new black in privacy fashion.

Key Points:

  • Microsoft’s Recall feature will now be opt-in instead of default.
  • Recall screenshots everything you do on your PC.
  • Privacy advocates and security experts raised concerns.
  • Changes come before the launch of Copilot Plus PCs on June 18th.
  • Users can choose to disable Recall during setup.
