Announcement is out. Good on Microsoft for finally reaching a sane conclusion.
- Recall won’t ship as a feature at launch on Copilot+ PCs any more.
- Won’t be available in Insider preview channel at launch, as it was pulled.
When it does appear in preview channels, privacy and security researchers need to keep a close eye on what Microsoft are doing with the feature.
Microsoft tried developing this feature in secret in a way which tried to avoid scrutiny. Thank you to everyone who stood up.

If anybody is wondering, Microsoft moved the announcement up as I scooped them 🤣 Thank you to everyone who helped out with this one, there was no way something that constantly OCR’d the screen being implemented so poorly was acceptable but Microsoft really, really dug their heels in. Photographic memory of everything you’ve ever done on a computer has to be entirely optional, with risks explained and be done right.. or not at all. Accountability matters. Microsoft, be better.
