Unlike Microsoft Recall, which can automatically capture everything done on a device, Google’s version of the feature would allow users to enable or disable AI processing of screenshots based on user preferences.

Google’s version of the feature would allow users to enable or disable AI processing of screenshots based on user preference, unlike Microsoft’s Recall, which could automatically capture everything done on a device.

Google is working on a ‘Pixel Screenshots’ feature that can save and process details in screenshots, so that users can come back to them, according to a report by Android Authority.

The report said that screenshots on Pixel can be summarised to answer questions based on the information in the image. Google may save metadata, like links, app names, and the date and time the screenshot was taken to make them easily searchable.

Other Google AI features expected in the Pixel 9 series are the Gemini chatbot and “Add Me” feature, which will help ensure that everyone appears in a group photo. Additionally, there could be a creative-assistant feature called Studio for images and stickers, according to the report.
