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.

With no official opt-out from Recall, Signal says it was forced to devise its own method to block screenshots. The new feature is now on 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.
