The signal said today that it is updating its Windows app to prevent the system from capturing screenshots, thus protecting the content that is in the exhibition.
The company said the new “screen security” layout is active as default on Windows 11. Signal said this new feature is designed to save users’ privacy from Microsoft’s memory feature, Which was announced last year. Remember that you permanently capture the system screenshots to remember all your activities, so you can scroll back on time to remember what you were seeing.
While the company stopped Rollout this feature after the last year’s responseMicrosoft started its re -examination during April Windows preview channel. Microsoft has made this feature in -in and has added a way to stop it at any time. Despite these changes, the feature still occupies materials that may be sensitive, the signal said.
The signal said that when you are trying to take the screenshot with a new screen security setting, you will only find an empty screen.
The company also warned that when the layout is enabled, some functions, such as screen readers, may not be able to work as per the intention. You can turn off the sequence Signal Settings> Privacy> Screen Security.
When you are trying to disable this option, the app will show you a warning, and you will have to click confirmation to complete the action. This is to prevent you from closing the feature by trying to adjust the other settings.
