Windows 11 is introducing a Recall Export feature for users in the European Economic Area, enabling the sharing of encrypted snapshots via a unique export code. Users must store this code securely, as losing it means all snapshots must be deleted and recalled. Initial feedback has highlighted privacy concerns regarding this feature, which captures user activity every few seconds. Currently available for Windows Insiders, Microsoft is expected to release it widely soon, although prior issues with privacy may deter some users from using it.
Recall, a new Windows 11 feature, allows users to export encrypted snapshots of their desktop activity with a unique export code, enhancing sharing with third-party apps.
The new Recall Export feature enables Windows 11 users in the EEA to share encrypted snapshots, raising privacy concerns as losing the export code could compromise data access.
Users are cautioned that if they lose their export code or if it falls into the wrong hands, they must reset Recall, deleting all previous snapshots.
Microsoft acknowledges the controversial nature of Recall, especially concerning privacy, following its initial rollout that pointed to significant implementation flaws.
