Q. Why Does Alexa Record Conversations?
Alexa records your interactions with her to train its voice model, improve the accuracy of its response, and learn more about you to differentiate your voice from other users.
Q. Is Alexa Actively Listening and Recording your Conversations?
No. Alexa is an always-on device that actively listens for the trigger phrase, “Alexa,” and anything you say after that is recorded. Without the phrase word, Alexa will not record your conversations. However, it may mishear the trigger phrase, leading it to record the conversation you were having.
Q. Is It Possible to Know if Alexa is Recording Me?
Yes. If the blue ring light is turned on on your Echo device, you have triggered Alexa, and it is recording whatever you are saying.
Q. How Can I Auto Delete Alexa Voice Recordings?
To set your voice recordings to auto-delete, visit this link to open Manage Your Alexa Data > Choose how long to save recordings > select Time range and click on Confirm.
