Microsoft's controversial and delayed Recall feature is starting to gradually roll out in preview to more Windows Insiders.

In a blog post on Thursday, the company said the tool is available for Windows Insiders using Copilot PCs – Snapdragon-powered, AI-enabled computers. Windows Insiders are a group of users who test prerelease versions of its software.

Last May, Microsoft's Recall tool for Windows 11 made headlines when it teased a tool that acts like a "time machine," allowing Windows users to find anything previously displayed on their screen, from documents and images to websites, by searching for keywords.
