[Microsoft Quietly Launches OneDrive Photos App with Built-in AI Facial Recognition, Sparking Privacy Concerns] According to Deep Tide TechFlow on July 30, as reported by Decrypt, Microsoft is silently rolling out the new OneDrive Photos app to some Windows 11 users via Windows Update or OneDrive client updates. The app can automatically index local photo libraries, supports natural language AI search and optical character recognition, and includes an optional facial grouping feature. Since facial data is considered biometric information in some regions, this feature requires users to enable it manually. Notably, the app cannot currently be uninstalled separately; users wishing to remove it must uninstall OneDrive entirely.
