![]() ![]() When you ask Alexa a question it will record what you say and send a recording to Amazon's servers. The more you use Alexa, the more it will adapt to your speech patterns, vocabulary, and personal preferences - that's the idea anyhow, but some may find this a little intrusive. If you've got a fully automated home then you'll know that, like many smart home devices such as smart heating or smart alarms, Amazon is designed to get to know you and your lifestyle to 'enhance your user experience'. In the Manage Your Alexa Data section, there is also an option to choose how long you save your recordings and also an option called 'Don't save recordings' at all. You can also delete what you said by asking the Alexa device yourself, but you will have to go into Manage Your Alexa Data in your settings account to enable this feature first. There is an option to delete all devices from all time - which is helpful if you use multiple Echo devices around your home. ![]() If you want to delete this voice history, you need to go to 'Privacy Settings', 'Review Voice History' and filter by day and which Alexa device you want to delete from. To review what has been recorded via your Alexa device, you can go to your Alexa app or look at the Privacy settings on your Amazon account. You can even playback the recordings from your history timeline and we must admit we found this rather unsettling. Things such as "Alexa, open YouTube" or "Alexa, play The Night Begins to Shine by BER" (try it, it's great!) will be listed in date order. When you speak to Alexa, a recording of what you say is sent to Amazon's servers. Switch it back again when you want to use it as normal. To do this you simply switch the slider button on the top of the device to off. You don't need the camera on your Echo Show enabled to be able to use Alexa, so unless you're using it for a video call or to drop in on another device you may as well switch the camera off too.
