Microsoft’s Recall is an opt-in feature that you can remove

Microsoft’s AI-powered Recall feature, which takes screenshots of everything you do on your Windows machine and makes your actions searchable, has been scrutinised by security experts since its announcement earlier this year.

However, in the last few months, Microsoft has been working on making Recall more secure and user friendly. In a blog post, the tech giant said that unlike the previous implementation, users will now have to manually opt-in to enable the feature, and that they will have to use Windows Hello authentication to confirm user presence.
