Microsoft again delays Recall feature, says it will arrive for Windows Insiders on Copilot Plus PCs in December
Microsoft has delayed its controversial Recall feature for Copilot+ PCs mulitple times by now, and on Thursday it said that it would delay it by several more weeks again, as it needs more time to make it more secure. Microsoft now plans to make its Recall feature available for Windows Insiders by December, reports The Verge.
Initially scheduled for a June rollout, Recall — a feature that screenshots everything that happens on the disply of a Copilot+ PC — has faced repeated setbacks as Microsoft worked to address privacy and security concerns. Key updates include making Recall an entirely opt-in feature on Copilot Plus PCs, with options allowing users to fully uninstall the tool. However, the feature was not launched this Summer and was delayed to October. Now, it is delayed till December even for participants of the Windows Insider program.
"We are committed to delivering a secure and trusted experience with Recall," a statement by Microsoft published by The Verge reads. "To ensure we deliver on these important updates, we are taking additional time to refine the experience before previewing it with Windows Insiders. Originally planned for October, Recall will now be available for preview with Windows Insiders on Copilot+ PCs by December."
