Windows 11's AI Recall Feature Sparks Major Privacy Concerns
TL;DR Summary
Microsoft's new Recall feature in Windows 11, which takes regular snapshots of user activity, is enabled by default during setup and can only be turned off via Settings. This has raised privacy concerns, with some describing it as a "keylogger." The feature is still in preview and will be available on Copilot+ PCs from June 18, though it can run on other hardware. There is speculation that Microsoft might change the default setting due to the controversy.
