OpenAI has abandoned a Recall-style screenshot surveillance feature in favor of a keylogging system called "Computer History." The new tool records user clicks and typing to build ChatGPT memories. This approach is described as "friendly keylogging," replacing the more invasive screenshot-based monitoring that resembled Microsoft’s controversial Recall feature. The change aims to improve user experience while addressing privacy concerns.
