“Starting March 28, Amazon Echo users will no longer have the option to process their Alexa voice recordings locally which means those recordings will be sent to the company’s cloud. Alexa currently offers an opt-in feature called ‘Do Not Send Voice Recordings’ to its customers which stops audio requests from being sent to Amazon. ‘We are reaching out to let you know that the Alexa feature ‘Do Not Send Voice Recordings’ that you enabled on your supported Echo device(s) will no longer be available beginning March 28th, 2025,’ the company said in an email sent to Echo customers who have enabled the option.” (03/18/25)
