Windows 11 is getting a new privacy setting that allows users to control whether applications can detect when actively interacting with the device.
The new privacy setting is called 'Presence sensing' and allows you to configure whether applications can use APIs to determine if a user is active or inactive in Windows.
Users can find these settings under Settings > Privacy & security > Presence sensing, provided their device supports it.
In addition to the new privacy setting, Microsoft is also introducing a new toggle under Settings > Windows Update for "Getting the latest updates as soon as they are available."
It is worth noting that Microsoft's latest Windows 11 beta update is aimed at testers and may not be suitable for general consumers.
The changes and improvements made in this update give us an insight into what we can expect from the final version of Windows 11.
