Microsoft announced major security changes to Recall ahead of its October release. Is Recall safe to use now? Here's a look at all the changes and whether or not you should use Recall.

Microsoft says the controversial Recall search feature will only be on Copilot Plus PCs that meet its security standards.

Thanks to a timeline scrubber, you can scroll through everything that happened each day. Plus, you can use natural language to search for things within your Recall history. However, some security experts expressed concerns about Recall, fearing that hackers would see it as a gateway for stealing user data.

I’m excited because I think the security community is going to get how much we’ve pushed [into Recall].” One of Microsoft’s first big changes is that the company isn’t forcing people to use Recall if they don’t want to.

Microsoft promises its Recall feature won't screenshot your personal or financial information. It'll also require Windows Hello verification.

Windows Search is getting smarter, while a new Click to Do tool enables AI-assisted actions based on what’s on a user’s screen.

Recall, which takes advantage of advanced Neural Processing Units (NPUs) in new Windows PCs, was announced in May as the flagship feature in Copilot+ PCs from Microsoft and other computer makers. The first Copilot+ PCs were released in June without Recall, pending future software updates.
