It takes processing power to scan the photos.
- A4ET8a8uTh0_v2 11mo agoDoes it take processing power to NOT scan photos?
- cortesoft 11mo agoNo, but the scanning is happening on Microsoft servers, not locally, I am guessing. So if you enable the feature, it sends your photos to MS to scan... If you turn it off, they delete that data, meaning if you turn it on again, they have to process the photos again. Every time you enable it, you are using server resources. However, this should mean that they don't let you re-enable it after you turn it off 3 times, not that you can't turn it off if you have enabled it 3 times.
- bippihippi1 11mo agowhere does it say turning it off deletes the data? it doesn't even say that turning it off stops them scanning your photos. the option is "do you want to see the AI tags" Google search history is the same. Turning off or deleting history only affects your copy of the data.
