Microsoft has listened to feedback about a tool called Recall that takes screenshots of what users do on their computers. People were worried about their privacy, so Microsoft delayed the tool’s release. Now, they plan to launch it in November on special CoPilot+ computers.
The new version of Recall will have less controversial features – for example, you have to choose to use it, it won’t be on by default. The UK’s data watchdog, the ICO, has been talking to Microsoft about the tool. They say Microsoft has made some changes to make it better.
Recall can help you find things you’ve used on your computer before, like files and pictures. But some people worry about how much personal information it collects. Microsoft says they have added more security features, like encryption to protect your data.
Experts say the changes are good, but they recommend waiting to see how Recall works before using it. Remember, your privacy is important, so be careful with tools like this.
