Amazon is making a change of intimacy in Echo – those who disagree can end up with a useless device

Alexa is ready to echo Everything you say to her in Amazon.

Amazon Echo owners have long had the opportunity to process claims in the country, meaning that their information was not sent to Amazon’s servers – but that option is starting March 28.

The company sent an email to ECHO customers to explain the changes.

“We are able to let you know that Alexa feature” Do not send voice recordings “that you enabled on your supported ECHO device will no longer be available starting March 28,” the email reads.

“As we continue to expand Alexa’s skills with generating features that rely on Amazon’s secure cloud processing power, we have decided not to support this feature anymore.”

Starting March 28, Amazon Echo’s voice recordings will be sent and processed in the cloud – though the email said “they will be deleted after Alexa elaborates on your requests”.

However, the email also pointed out that if ECHO settings are decided to “do not save records”, the sound ID will not work. According to Ars Technica, Voice ID allows users to use more personalized features in Alexa, such as sharing calendar events specified by the user, memory, music and more.

“Thus, to maintain that functionality, users will need to manually change that qualification,” Ars Technica reported.

Basically, everything you said to your Echo in Amazon from March 28 onwards will be sent to the Amazon Cloud, and having the setting to make the Amazon Delete recordings will reduce the functionality of the features in the device that were available when purchased.

However, Amazon explained in the post that “Do not send voice recordings” was an OPT feature that was only available to customers in the US with equipment located in English. They claimed that less than 0.03% of customers used the function.

The feature was also available only in three Echo devices: Echo dot (Gen 4), Echo Show 10 and Echo Show 15.

“Alexa experience is created to protect the privacy of our clients and keep their data secure, and that is not changing. We are focusing on the tools of intimacy and controls that our customers use the most and work well with the generating experiences that rely on the Amazon’s secure power processing power,” said a post.

“Customers can continue to choose from a strong set of tools and controls, including the option not to maintain their sound recordings. We will continue to learn from customer feedback and building intimacy features on their behalf.”

The measure comes to the company’s discovery heels for her new Alexa with a full adjustment of him, called Alexa+.

Customers on Reddit were not satisfied with the announcement, with many comments expressing their disappointment.

“As a blind person, this is really angry with anger as the application of the voice of applications is particularly useful and important in terms of access,” one person wrote.

“Alexa has been a player of the game for our Super ADHD family. I really don’t look forward to dismantling it,” someone added.

“So now I have to worry that my echo is recording everything,” said another wild client.

“I am going downstairs to disconnect and the trash my Alexa now!” one commented.
