Microsoft Delays Recall Feature Amid Security Concerns

Microsoft Hits Pause on Recall Feature Amid Security Scrutiny

Microsoft has announced the release of its new AI Recall feature will be delayed due to heightened security concerns. Initially set to launch with the new Copilot + PC on June 18th, 2024, the feature will now undergo further testing and refinement to ensure it meets the appropriate privacy standards before being made available to users.

Key takeaways:

The Recall feature uses AI to help users track and recover files by taking snapshots of their system, providing an easy way to retrieve lost data.

Security concerns have prompted Microsoft to delay the feature’s release, emphasizing the importance of user data protection and thorough testing.

The AI Recall feature will be available in “preview mode” for Windows Insider Program participants.
