The privacy-minded Signal messaging service is putting a blindfold on the prying eyes of the newly returned Windows Recall, an AI-powered feature from Microsoft that takes a screenshot of whatever you're doing on your computer every few seconds to give your PC the "photographic memory" you never asked for.

Signal is taking proactive steps to ensure Microsoft’s Recall feature can’t screen capture your secured chats, by rolling out a new version of the Signal for Windows 11 client that enables screen security by default.

Signal said today that it is updating its Windows app to prevent the system from capturing screenshots, thereby protecting the content that is on display.
