Here is a summary of the key points regarding the rollout of Copilot+ Recall on Windows 11, based on the Trusted Reviews article:
- Copilot+ Recall is an AI-based feature designed to serve as a “photographic memory” for your computer, taking deeply searchable screenshots of your activity within apps across Windows 11.
- The feature has been controversial and faced significant criticism from privacy and security advocates since Microsoft first announced it in May of last year.
- After multiple unsuccessful test releases with Windows Insiders, Microsoft is finally moving ahead with a public rollout.
- Recall is:
- Entirely opt-in (not enabled by default).
- Equipped with privacy controls to filter what is saved and customizable settings.
- Removable – users can delete the feature from their PC entirely.
- Security measures include:
- Windows Hello sign-in requirement.
- Data encryption and isolation for Recall data.
- Data is processed locally on your device; nothing is sent to Microsoft or the cloud, nor is shared with third parties.
- Microsoft claims the feature can make it much quicker (up to 70% less time for some tasks) to find and reengage with your work.
- Additional improvements have been made so Recall does not capture sensitive content like bank statements or mature content while browsing the web.
- The feature is rolling out first to Copilot+ PCs and some of the latest Windows laptops.
