Policy

Allow Recall to be enabled

This policy setting allows you to determine whether the Recall optional component is available for end users to enable on their device. By default, Recall is disabled for managed commercial devices. Recall isn't available on managed devices by default, and individual users can't enable Recall on their own. If this policy is not configured, end users will have the Recall component in a disabled state. If this policy is disabled, the Recall component will be in disabled state and the bits for Recall will be removed from the device. If snapshots were previously saved on the device, they will be deleted when this policy is disabled. Removing Recall requires a device restart. If the policy is enabled, end users will have Recall available on their device. Depending on the state of the DisableAIDataAnalysis policy (Turn off saving snapshots for use with Recall), end users will be able to choose if they want to save snapshots of their screen and use Recall to find things they've seen on their device.
