What part is so difficult to understand?

How in a world filled with a rainbow of search engines, you didn’t bother to use one of them before posting that. Even like a cursory hit on Wikipedia.

Recall's release immediately caused controversy, with experts warning that the feature could be a "disaster" for security and privacy, particularly since there was initially no option for users to disable it. This backlash prompted Microsoft to postpone its rollout. Microsoft then changed the feature to opt-in and provided instructions for how to remove it.

Backlash against Recall was centered on both security and privacy. Upon its release, Recall was described as a "potential security nightmare". The initial version of Recall saved all data to a plaintext database, making it easy for the data to be stolen.

In response, the privacy-focused messaging app Signal published a feature for Signal Desktop that includes a "Screen security" setting, blocking Recall from taking screenshots of Signal chats on Windows. The setting is enabled by default when using Signal Desktop on Windows 11. Brave and AdGuard added similar functionality in July 2025. Later versions of Recall added full database encryption.
