Signal have rolled out an update to all users that stops Microsoft Recall from capturing Signal conversations.
I’ve tested this and it works. Brilliant work by the @signalapp team. 💪
They call on Microsoft to build better, as there was no standardised way as an app developer to do this. Because Signal is open source, now app developers have a template to protect their users from Windows.

I found an interesting Microsoft Recall issue with the latest version - Recall is enabled on my PC, but the tray icon (bottom right) saying it is running is missing.
Edit: after a reboot, it's back. I'll keep an eye on it. After the latest Windows Update the UI wasn't visible, but it was still recording.

Brave are blocking Microsoft Recall by default, hopefully Vivaldi follow. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/brave-blocks-windows-recall-from-screenshotting-your-browsing-activity/
