Windows Recall gets an export feature to let non-Microsoft websites and apps use your Copilot PC's snapshots

A promotional image for Microsoft Recall, an AI search tool in Copilot+ AI PCs.

It's fair to say that Windows Recall has been one of Microsoft's more controversial ideas in recent times. The AI-powered system routinely captures screenshots of your monitor's output and stores them in an encrypted local database, allowing you to then search for apps, websites, or even document text and images. With its latest Windows 11 Insider build, Microsoft has now added an export function to let you share this data with third-party applications, though not every Copilot+ PC user will see this option.

This is because the Recall Export feature will only be rolled out to users living in the European Economic Area (EEA), which includes all 27 members of the European Union (EU), plus three other countries, namely Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein. Everyone else? You're out of luck for the time being.
