> If you’re wondering why we’re only implementing this on Windows right now, it’s because the purpose of this setting is to protect your Signal messages from Microsoft Recall.

To nitpick, that doesn't tell me why you're only implementing this now. That tells me why it's more important now, but it doesn't tell me why it wasn't good before now. But the word "only" suggests that there was a reason you didn't do this before now.



I don't think they meant that 'only' in a temporal sense. Rather, they meant why that's the only platform they're implementing it on for the time being.

I think they mean only Windows as in 'Windows but not other platforms yet'. The wording is confusing.


They do support this feature on other platforms though. It works on my Android phone.
