Privacy Setting Improvements
Microsoft exec Marisa Rogers today announced that today’s build will include new settings for the Inking & Typing and Find My Device features. “For our Windows Insiders who install today’s build, they’ll be able to experience this new set up for the first time. Not everyone will experience the same setup, however. For example, some will review their settings through a single screen set up where selections such as ‘Find My Device’ and’ Inking & typing’ are independent,” writes Rogers. This will provide users more control over the data that’s sent to Microsoft for handwriting, autocomplete, word prediction, and more. Some Insiders will see all privacy options on a single screen like in the example below.
And some will see a series of seven screens that walk the user through the privacy settings.
