Microsoft is adding a privacy-centric feature to Windows 11 called Privacy Auditing. The feature will tell users about the apps that access a PC’s camera, microphone, and more hardware components that are considered sensitive and if compromised, can cause raise privacy concerns. Here are the details to know.
Microsoft’s VP of OS Security and Enterprise recently, David Westin, recently highlighted the new Privacy Auditing feature, which will help people see a history of the ‘sensitive’ devices accessed by the various apps available. This will help people keep a track of the hardware permissions given to an app so that further changes can be made.

You should know that the new Windows 11 feature will be initially available as a test and will eventually reach all users. It is part of the Dev Channel. If you are an Insider, you can easily head to the App Permissions option in the Privacy & security settings to access the feature. It remains to be seen when it will be available for all users.
