Recall is the upcoming Copilot+ feature that acts as a photographic memory of your PC.

It does this by taking a screenshot of everything you do every few seconds.

The company promised to publish another blog post soon to let WIP members know how to access it.

Microsoft already planned to let users turn off Recall when they set up their new Copilot+ PC, but now it won’t be available at all, at least for now.

Microsoft promised Recall was still coming and soon, though theres no definite timeline for when and how.

Last week, security researchers and a wary customer base forced Microsoft tobacktrack on its plans for Recall.

That could include financial info or any sensitive personal data.

The company also clarified that Recall would still be restricted to the new Copilot+ PCs.
