What is Recall
Posted last month Copilot+ PC When Microsoft released the Recall AI feature, it can instantly find the content you have seen on your PC before, such as what web pages you viewed three days ago, what programs you used a week ago, and who you chatted with and what you said.
This is achieved by having Recall periodically take pictures (screenshots) of what’s displayed on the screen and save them as snapshots. These images are encrypted, stored, and analyzed locally, using on-device artificial intelligence capabilities to understand their context.
After that, you can use Recall to easily and intuitively trace back the historical steps on your computer, including finding content in applications, websites, images, and documents, just like a virtual and completely private “photographic memory”.
Additionally, you can disable saving snapshots, temporarily pause, filter apps, and delete snapshots at any time.
When will it be released?
Recall’s release date has changed from a set date of June 18, 2024, to a few new changes in the coming weeks:
- Default off
- You can enable Recall only after registering Windows Hello
- An extra layer of data protection
- Encrypting the search index database
Some safety notes beforehand:
- Snapshots will not be used to train AI
- No uploading, no sharing
- No snapshots in browser privacy mode
In short, users don't seem to like Microsoft recording too much content. But who is this content for?
